Availio is the fastest way to turn free time into time together. No feeds to scroll. No followers to impress. Just your real friends and one simple question: who's free? FREE NOW Free for the next couple of hours? Say it in one tap. Add what you're up for and where you are (coffee, tacos, a walk around the park), and your friends see it instantly. SEE WHO'S AROUND Your home feed shows which friends are free right now and who's free later today, whether that's morning, afternoon, or evening, so a plan is never more than a message away. PLAN THE WEEK, LOOSELY Mark when you're free over the next few days ("down for a hike", "movie night?"). Your friends see the overlap, and spontaneity does the rest. HANGCHATS When someone's in, spin up a hangchat: a group chat built to turn "I'm free" into a time and a place. YOUR CREW, YOUR CALL You decide who sees you, every single time: all your friends, a group like Brunch Club or Climbing Crew, or just a few people. Nothing is ever public. FIND YOUR FRIENDS Add friends straight from your contacts in seconds, and invite the ones who don't have the app yet. Availio is for the plans that never make it to the calendar: the coffee runs, the pickup games, the "I'm around if you are". Spontaneous starts here.
