Where should we all meet? Meetin answers that question fairly: enter two to four addresses and get real venues — cafés, restaurants, bars — ranked so nobody gets stuck with the long trip. FIND A SPOT Type the addresses, pick how each of you travels — walking, cycling, driving or transit, with live traffic — and compare fair meeting points on the map with everyone's travel time, photos, ratings and opening hours. One tap to share the place or open directions. PLAN A MEET Don't know everyone's address? Start a meet and share one link. Friends join without creating an account — everyone's location stays rough (about 500 m), never exact. The group sees fair suggestions, chats and votes live; you lock in the winner and everyone gets directions and a notification when it's decided. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No ads. No trackers, no analytics SDKs. Meets — including the chat — delete themselves from our servers about a day after the group settles on a place; only a message someone reports is kept briefly for safety review. Our server keeps nothing but anonymous daily totals. Your history stays on your phone. PREMIUM Joining a friend's meet is always free — in the app or right in your browser. Your first search and your first meet are free too. After that, finding spots and planning your own meets is part of Premium: €3.49 per month or €24.99 per year with a 7-day free trial, or €49.99 once for Premium for life (prices may vary by country). Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; you can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings at any time. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Premium for life is a one-time purchase with no renewal. Made in Berlin by a small independent team.
