Ruva is the easy way to make plans actually happen. Post what you want to do — a run at sunrise, pickup basketball, a coffee, a gallery night — and people nearby who want the same thing say they're in. No group-chat limbo, no "we should hang out sometime." HOW IT WORKS • Post a plan in thirty seconds: what, when, where. • Explore what's happening around you, or see what your friends are up to. • Tap Interested or Going. Everyone who's in gets a chat. • Get a reminder the day before and an hour before. • Afterwards, say whether it happened and stay in touch with the people you met. MADE FOR REAL LIFE • Public plans reach people nearby. Friends-only plans reach your friends. Direct invites go to exactly who you choose. • Invite friends who aren't on Ruva yet straight from your contacts. The plan is waiting for them when they join. • Your exact location is never shown. Plans show a neighbourhood, and the exact spot only to the people you choose. • Profiles show real plans, past and upcoming, not follower counts. SAFETY FIRST • Report or block anyone in two taps. Repeated reports hide a plan automatically. • Contact matching works only when you both have each other's number. • Delete your account any time. Ruva is for people 13 and over. Meeting people you don't know carries risk; meet in public places and trust your instincts. Make plans happen.
