Read full description

Simmer With helps you actually see your friends. We all have people we keep meaning to hang out with, but between packed schedules and group-chat chaos, plans rarely come together. Simmer With turns "we should hang out sometime" into real plans. Set your availability once, group your friends into the circles that matter, and instantly see when everyone's actually free. No more endless back-and-forth. What you can do: - Find the right time: Share your availability and sync your calendar so the app surfaces exactly when your group is free. - Build your circles: Create groups for the people you want to see: roommates, the college crew, run club, whoever. - Plan hangouts: Start a hangout, invite people, and track who's coming with simple RSVPs. - Get smart suggestions: See recommended times to get together based on your group's shared availability. - Stay in the loop: Comments and notifications keep everyone on the same page, from the first invite to "see you there." - Add friends fast: Invite people straight from your contacts in seconds. Why Simmer With: Think of your "third place,” the community of people you choose to spend time with. Simmer With is built to lower the friction of seeing them, so the hangouts you keep meaning to have finally happen. Less planning. More showing up.
