Ever have a random idea to do something fun but hate the logistics of organizing it? Walking Up makes spontaneous plans effortless. Think of something you want to do - grab coffee, hit the gym, check out that new spot - and ping your friends in seconds. They RSVP, you see who's in, and you go. WHAT IS WALKING UP? Walking Up is for people who want to hang out more but hate the back-and-forth. No more "who's free?" texts. No more group chat chaos. Just ping, see who's down, and meet up. HOW IT WORKS Start With an Idea Got something you want to do? Create a ping - set the activity, time, and place. Invite specific friends or whole groups with one tap. See Who's Down Friends get your ping and RSVP. They can see who else was invited, so they know the vibe. You see who's actually coming. Coordinate Without the "Where You At?" Texts Heading to the spot? Share your real-time location so friends can see when you're arriving - no more texting back and forth trying to find each other. Organize Your People Create friend groups - roommates, gym crew, weekend brunch people. Ping the right circle for the right activity. PRIVACY FIRST Your location is not broadcast by default. You choose when to share it and with whom. - Location sharing is optional and activity-specific - Only friends you have approved can see anything - No strangers, no public profiles - Your data is never sold EASY TO CONNECT - Share your unique friend code - Scan QR codes in person - Accept or decline any request PERFECT FOR - People who have ideas but hate organizing - Friend groups tired of group chat logistics - Anyone who wants to actually see their friends more - Coordinating meetups without the "where are you" spam THE FLOW 1. Have an idea for something to do 2. Create a ping with the activity and location 3. Invite friends or groups 4. Friends RSVP - you see who's coming 5. Share your location when you're heading there 6. Meet up without the coordination headache Walking Up is not about tracking your friends. It is about removing the friction between "I want to do something" and actually doing it with people you like.

Location sharing is optional and only visible to friends you explicitly approve.
