Your city is alive right now. Checkin shows you where. The people, the Circles, the events and the rooms worth walking into. All near you, all in real time. For when you're already out A drink at your local. A new city. A gallery, a hostel, an airport, a conference between sessions. Check in and see who else is here and open to connecting. Choose how you want to connect (Social, Work or Travel), then send a Hi or a Connect and start a chat while you're still in the same room. Circles: small meetups, happening now It's not just one to one anymore. Circles are small real-world meetups near you, in real time. Join one that's already on, or create your own in seconds and share the link. Run clubs, long dinners, gallery walks, pick-up games. Some are free, some are ticketed. All of them end with actual humans at an actual table. What's on around you Live events, gigs and happenings near you tonight. A live picture of your area, so deciding where to go takes minutes, not an evening. No venue? No problem Check in to your suburb and see who's around and up for it. From your neighbourhood here to cities overseas. Privacy by design Only people checked in to the same place can see that you're there. Your exact location is never shown, only the venue or suburb name you chose to share. You decide when to check in, when to reply, and you can check out any time. Find your people. Your city, live.
