## What is Thirdplaces?

There's no shortage of places to go. What's missing is someone to go with.

Thirdplaces is the app to meet new people and actually do things together. Whether you just moved to a new city, want to grow your circle of friends, or finally want your group organized in one place: this is where "we should hang out sometime" turns into a real plan.

No swiping. No matching. No dating.

Coffee, running, climbing, hiking, game nights, dinner clubs, concerts, trivia nights. With people nearby who are up for the same thing you are.

HOW IT WORKS

MEETS
Create a meetup or join one. Spontaneous tonight or planned for the weekend. With group chat, date and venue polls, and calendar export.

BUBBLES
Interest groups for photography, running, book clubs, board games, yoga and much more. Find people who share your vibe and meet up regularly.

SPACES
A home for your club, campus group, company, neighborhood or friend group. Invite members, plan meetups and keep everything in one place instead of ten scattered group chats.

DISCOVER AND EVENTS
See what's happening near you on the map: meetups, groups and local events. Tap "Interested" or "Going" and find people to go with.

LUCY, YOUR AI SIDEKICK
Lucy suggests places and activities, helps you plan and remembers your last ideas.

STORIES, CHAT AND MEMORIES
Share moments from your meetups, chat with your group and collect the places you've actually been.

SAFE AND REAL
• Meet in groups, in public places
• Verified profiles and anonymous ratings after every meetup
• You control who can find you and what others see
• Access by invitation: someone in the community vouches for you. Get a code from friends or on TikTok and Instagram @thirdplaces_official

FREE TO USE
Creating, joining and chatting is free. Thirdplaces Premium is optional and adds extras like meetup boosts, diamonds and incognito profile visits.

Thirdplaces. Real people. Real places. Real moments.
Made with love in Dortmund, Germany.

Invite friends, both benefit
Share your invite link: anyone who joins through it gets bonus days of
Premium as a gift – and so do you, for every friend who joins. Find it in
Settings and in the share sheet.

Lucy now shows real results
Instead of plain text, you get real cards for events and places – to tap,
compare, save. Lucy also remembers what you were talking about last time
and offers to pick it back up instead of starting from zero every time.

Voice messages, tidied up
The recording indicator now lives right in the input bar instead of
floating loosely on screen, and dragging left cancels a recording.

Android: photo pins on the map are back
Profile pictures on map pins were invisible on Android – fixed. Plus
several layout fixes: the keyboard no longer covers input fields, the
create button sits cleanly in the tab bar, and the status bar adapts
everywhere.

An interrupted profile is no longer lost
Close the app mid-signup and you'll pick up exactly where you left off
next time.
