About

DAVAI TODAY

Features
Read full description

DAVAI is for real-life meetups with people on your wavelength. Not a swipe feed and not endless chat: circles of your people and concrete plans in your city. HOW IT WORKS Join a circle via link or QR — or create one and invite friends. See your circles’ plans in your city: coffee, a walk, dinner, anything. Join a plan or create your own — place and time are clear from the start. Chat is just to lock it in. Then you meet in person. WHAT’S INSIDE • Circles of like-minded people — yours or by invite • Plans for today and the next few days • An Open circle so you can see meetups right away • Chats to quickly agree on details • Photo profile verification WHO IT’S FOR For anyone tired of likes and ready to meet people nearby. DAVAI turns “we should hang out” into an actual meetup.
