SOCIAL is where plans become real — and real plans become connections. Stop juggling group chats, screenshots, and "wait what time again?" texts. SOCIAL turns any idea into a live plan your people can join in one tap. PLAN ANYTHING Create a Public Plan and put it on the map for the world, or a Private Plan just for your circle. Add ticketing or a point of contact if you're organizing something bigger. ONE LINK. ZERO FRICTION. Share your plan's invite link. Whoever taps it gets signed in instantly, added to the plan, synced to their calendar, and connected to you as a friend — even if they've never opened the app before. That's it. That's the whole flow. DISCOVER WHAT'S HAPPENING Browse 1,000+ live public events already on SOCIAL — concerts, pop-ups, meetups, residencies — curated by Team SOCIAL from day one. Check the Top 30 Trending feed to see what's hot right now. FIND YOUR NEXT SPOT The Places section surfaces cafés, restaurants, hotels, cinemas, and attractions near you — daily utility even before your friends are on the app. NEVER MISS A PLAN Every plan syncs straight to your phone's native calendar. Get reminded 1 hour before and right when it starts. RELIVE IT, SHARE IT Post photos and videos inside every plan. Tag friends, like, comment, share. Your Personalized Track quietly logs every event you've ever attended — your own social history, built automatically. SIGN IN YOUR WAY Google, Apple, or Microsoft — pick one and you're in. SOCIAL isn't another events app you check once and forget. It's the layer that turns "we should do this sometime" into "see you at 8." Plan anything. Discover everything. #LetsBe-Social
