Barty is where your plans live. Host anything in seconds — drinks on a rooftop, Sunday padel, a gallery visit — and see who wants to join. Or browse what people nearby are planning and ask to be part of it. HOW IT WORKS • Post a plan: what, where, when, and how many spots. • People apply — you choose who's in. • Everyone accepted lands in the plan's chat. • Change of plan? Edit it, call it off, or delete it — anyone coming is kept in the loop. GO OUT AS A GROUP • Save the people you go out with as a group. • Give your group a look — a cover, a vibe, a shared photo gallery. • Apply to any plan together in one tap; the host sees your group before deciding. • Invite friends to a group — they choose to join. MADE FOR REAL PLANS • Plans, not profiles: everything starts with something to do. • Friends on Barty see your plans first. A COMMUNITY THAT LOOKS AFTER ITSELF • Barty is 18+. • Report any plan, profile, group, photo or message; block anyone — you'll instantly stop seeing each other. • We review every report within 24 hours.
