Lunchly is a small, direct way to sort out lunch with your friends: ask a few people, say where you're meeting, and see who's actually coming. No group chat to scroll back through, no arguing in three places at once. HOW IT WORKS • Pick friends and a day. Anything else is optional. • Say where to meet — the community theater, Donahue, the cafeteria. Whatever your group actually says. • Going out or bringing your own. If you're going out, add where. • Everyone gets a notification and answers Going or Can't go. • You see who's in at a glance. Confirmed in green, still waiting in grey. BUILT FOR AN OPEN CAMPUS Lunchly was made for Berkeley High School, where students leave campus for lunch. It assumes you already know your friends and just need to agree on a plan — so there's no feed, no follower count, and nothing to scroll. FINDING FRIENDS Share a personal invite code or QR code, or find people already on Lunchly from your contacts. Only the contacts you choose are ever checked, and phone numbers are never stored in readable form. PLANS THAT CHANGE Move the day, change the meeting spot, add someone late. Everyone on the lunch sees what changed and gets asked to confirm again if the day moves. PRIVACY • Sign in with Apple. No password to make or forget. • A phone number is optional and only used to help friends find you. It's stored as a one-way hash, never as a number. • No ads, no tracking, no analytics sold to anyone. • Block or report anyone, and delete your account and all its data from inside the app.
