Skene

Skene is the social app for whatever you're into. "Skene" is Finnish slang for "the scene" — and that's exactly what the app shows you: who's heading out tonight, which spot has a group forming this weekend, and where the locals actually go. Whether you're new in town, looking for a partner, or just want to stop texting six group chats to find someone to join, Skene puts your scene on one map — and one feed. — WHAT YOU CAN DO — • Open to your scene, live. The feed shows what's happening right now and this week: activities forming near you, plus quick status posts from the people and groups you follow. Filter by everyone, following, a specific group or just what's nearby, react with a tap, and jump into the comments. Your own plans for the day sit pinned at the top. • See it on the map. Open the map to browse live activities around you. Tap a marker to see who's going, what they're up to, and join with one tap. • Post a plan in a few taps. Pick a category, a place, a time, and who can see it — followers, a specific group, or everyone. Plan a multi-day trip with several stops, or just shout "going out in 30 min". • Bring your own activity. Skene ships with climbing categories (bouldering, sport, trad, ice) out of the box, but anyone can add their own — running, cycling, skiing, paddling, board games, jam sessions, sauna nights, whatever your scene is. The app grows with the community. • Find your people. Filter by activity, area and (where it makes sense) skill level. Browse profiles, follow others, and message anyone you've matched with. • Real places, not just pins. Gyms, crags, trails, parks and venues are linked together so an activity at "Olhava" is the same Olhava everyone else sees. Add new places when you find them. • Import routes and trails. Drop a GPX file from a watch, planner or guidebook app and Skene turns it into a place or trip you can share. • Chat and discussion, built in. Every activity gets its own discussion thread that lives with the plan, message anyone you've matched with, and spin up group chats for your crew — no more half-dead WhatsApp threads from last spring. — WHO IT'S FOR — Skene started in the Finnish climbing scene and that's still where it's strongest, but it's built to work for any group activity. It's for: • Anyone who wants to find people to do things with • Locals organising sessions, trips and meet-ups • Communities who want to know who's coming tonight • Travellers landing in a new city looking for their scene • Crews who want one place for their group's plans — PRIVACY — Your location is used only to show nearby activities and posts, and is shared only as an approximate area when you choose to post.
