Rndvu is group messaging built around real plans. Most group chats are where plans go to die. Rndvu keeps the conversation and the plan in the same place — so the hike, dinner, game night, or trip actually happens, with the people who actually show up. GROUPS A private space for every crew — your hiking group, weekend runners, brunch club, ski friends, board game night. Real-time chat with photos, videos, voice messages, GIFs, polls, reactions and replies. Pin the message everyone keeps scrolling back to find. EVENTS Propose a plan, set a date and time, and see who's actually in. One-tap RSVP. Drop a location on a map, set a difficulty, attach a route or a parking PDF, and build a shared packing list anyone can tick off. A THREAD FOR EVERY PLAN Every event gets its own chat, so tonight's logistics don't get buried under last week's. Tap into the event, see the plan, talk it out. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO The forecast for the hour your event actually starts. Times shown in the venue's timezone, not yours. Reminders on your schedule, not ours. SHARED CALENDARS Sync your calendar and opt in with your crew. Find an open day shows the days everyone's actually free — no back-and-forth, no "are you around Saturday?" With Rndvu+, Find a free time narrows it to the hours that work for everyone. CATCH ME UP (RNDVU+) Been away from a busy thread? Tap Catch Me Up for a quick summary of the messages and events you missed while you were away. Powered by Gemini. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Invite-only groups. Mute a thread, or just one person in it. Block and report built in. Delete your account and your data whenever you want. FREE VS. RNDVU+ Groups, chat, events, RSVPs, event threads and Find an open day are free for everyone.
