Bout2 is the fastest way to make plans with the people you already know. Tired of plans dying in group chats? Bout2 turns "who's down for dinner Thursday?" into a real invitation — with a time, a place, and a clear list of who's in. Just the people you'd actually want to see this weekend. WHY BOUT2 • Friends-only by design. You have the control to only see plans from people you've added as friends. • Built for real life. Pickup basketball, Sunday dinner, a quick beer after work, a hike, a kid's birthday party — Bout2 is built for the kind of plans that actually happen. • Clear RSVPs. Going, maybe, can't make it — your friends know what to expect, and so do you. • Smart reminders. Bout2 sends you a reminder the day before and the day of an activity you said you'd attend, so nothing slips. • Hosts get a heads-up. If you're hosting, you'll get a quick nudge the day of so you can confirm last minute preparations. • Comments and reactions. Light, fast back-and-forth on the activity itself, instead of yet another group chat. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign up with email, Apple, Google, or Facebook. 2. Add a few friends — by email, by phone (optional), or by sharing a one-tap invite link. 3. Create a plan: title, time, place, and a quick note. Choose who to invite. 4. Your friends RSVP. You all get reminders so the plan actually happens. PRIVACY FIRST We don't sell your data. We don't use ads. We don't have an advertising ID. We don't upload your contacts. Read our full policy at bout2.net/privacy. ACCOUNT & DATA You can edit your profile from inside the app and delete your account at any time from Profile → Settings → Delete Account.

WHO IS IT FOR • Friend groups who want to stop losing plans in three different group chats. • Roommates and small social circles who hang out often. • Sports leagues and pickup-game crews. • Anyone who's ever said "let's do something this weekend" and never actually did. Bout2 is built and operated by Tech Efficient LLC. Questions or feedback? Email support@techefficientllc.com.
