Stop letting "we should hang out soon" die in the group chat. LinkUp turns a spontaneous idea into a real plan with the people you actually want to see. HOW IT WORKS Float a Feeler. Not ready to commit? Drop a Feeler, a low-pressure "who's down?" and see who's actually interested before you lock anything in. Make it a Plan. Once people are in, lock the details: time, place, headcount. Your Feeler becomes a Plan, and everyone knows it's really happening. Show up. RSVPs are clear and honest. See who's Down to Go and who's Locked In, so you always know who's actually coming. BUILT FOR REAL FRIENDSHIPS Circles: organize your people and invite the right crew for the right plan, every time. Honest headcounts: watch spots fill up in real time, from open to almost full to at capacity. Control your reach: choose plan visibility and keep your name off a plan within your circles when you want to stay low-key. Live Activities & widgets: keep your next plan on your Lock Screen and Home Screen so nothing slips. Smart notifications: get nudged when a Feeler heats up, a plan locks in, or it's time to head out. WHY LINKUP LinkUp is for making plans with the friends you already have, not for meeting strangers. You only see plans from people you're connected with. No noisy feeds. No fake invites to things you'll never attend. No endless "maybe." Just a fast, warm way to go from idea to in-person; link up, show up. LINKUP+ LinkUp is free to use. LinkUp+ is coming soon with extra features to plan more, with more people, and every founding member gets it free. Real plans. Real people. Download LinkUp and make the next one actually happen.
