you want to go to that concert. you want to try that new restaurant. you want to hike runyon on saturday morning. you just don't have anyone to go with. washedup fixes that. real people in los angeles post real plans for things they actually want to do. hikes, concerts, comedy shows, food festivals, art nights, beach days, you name it. you browse, you join, and you show up with 3 to 8 people who wanted to do the same thing. HOW IT WORKS Post or join any activity: a comedy show, a hike, dinner, or a beach day. A small handful of 3-8 people comes together. A private chat opens so you can coordinate, and then you go do the thing. After the plan, photos and videos from everyone who came are collected into a shared album so you can relive the moment together. WHY WASHEDUP IS DIFFERENT this is not a dating app. there is no swiping. no matching based on photos. no awkward 1 on 1 coffee dates where you both pretend to be interesting for 45 minutes. washedup is activity first. you connect with people by doing things together, not by scrolling through profiles. the activity is the equalizer. it does not matter how old you are, where you are from, or how long you have lived here. if you both want to see that show on friday, you already have something in common. WHO USES WASHEDUP people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. new transplants and lifelong angelenos. introverts who need a reason to leave the house and extroverts who are tired of going alone. hundreds of real world plans have already happened across Los Angeles. people are showing up, meeting strangers, and turning them into people they actually know. currently available in los angeles. more cities coming soon. the online infrastructure for getting offline.
