About

Nucleus

Read full description

Nucleus is the easiest way to make plans with your crew — and actually follow through. Group chats are great for talking. They're terrible for planning. Dates get lost in the scroll, nobody confirms, and the hangout never happens. Nucleus fixes that. Build your crew, schedule sessions, pick a spot, and keep everything your friends share in one place. No more "wait, where are we meeting?" or "who's actually coming?" WHAT YOU CAN DO • Build your crew — Invite your closest friends into a private space, just for you and the people who matter. • Plan sessions in seconds — Pick a date, a time, a location, and the people. Everyone sees the same plan. No more screenshot relays. • Discover what to do — Browse video moments and ideas from your crew and beyond. Tap to turn any moment into a new session. • Stay in sync with the calendar — All your upcoming sessions in one view. See what's next, what's tentative, and who's in. • Save your favorite spots — Build a shared library of go-to locations so the "where should we go?" debate ends fast. • Capture the moments — Share videos from your sessions and keep the memories in one feed, not lost across a dozen camera rolls. • Activity that actually matters — A clean feed of what your crew is doing, free from the noise of public social networks. WHY NUCLEUS Most apps are built for strangers. Nucleus is built for the people you already know and love. It's small, focused, and private — designed around the way real friendships actually work. PRIVACY FIRST Your crew is yours. We don't sell your data, don't run ads, and don't surface your plans to people you didn't invite. See our privacy policy for the full story. GET STARTED 1. Create an account 2. Invite your crew 3. Plan your first session 4. Show up. Have fun. Repeat. Questions or feedback? Reach out — we read every message.
