GooMit helps you find people to do the things you love with: a Saturday hike, a board game night, a drink after work, a match or a day trip. It's not a dating app. You swipe on activities, not people: every card is a real plan, with the place, the day and how many are going. You ask to join, the host accepts you, and you sort out the details in the group chat. HOW IT WORKS • Discover activities in your city, the best matches first: close to you, based on your interests, with people your age • Join a plan or post your own • Sort out the details in the group and meet up there • Confirm you're coming so everyone knows who's really going ALSO INSIDE • A map with activities, trails and places around you • Groups for the people you often go out with, plus your city's student organizations • Memories: photos from your outings together • Safety: verified profiles, blocking and reporting, and a button that sends your location to a friend Most people come on their own, to groups of 4–12. Joining activities and chatting are free. GOOMIT PLUS (optional) Unlimited swipes, filters for age and verified profiles, an age range for your own activities, and priority on the waitlist.
