Up n Around is the simplest way to turn free time into real plans. Set how long you’re free with one tap and your friends see you’re around. See who else is up for something right now — no endless texting, no “maybe later.” When a few people are free, spin up a group chat and go. • One-tap availability — show you’re free for 30 minutes or a few hours. It counts down and clears itself. • See who’s around — a live view of which friends are up for something right now. • Instant group chats — get the free people into one thread and make it happen. • Lock Screen & widgets — adjust your availability without opening the app (Live Activity, Dynamic Island, home widget, Apple Watch). • Private by default — you control who sees you’re free. No public feed, no follower counts. Stop planning. Start hanging out.
