imDown is the easiest way to make plans with your friends. Post what you're doing, choose who sees it, and see who's down. No more group-chat chaos. No more "who's in?" polls that die after two votes. Just post the plan and watch your people show up. HOW IT WORKS • Post a plan — "beach at 3?", "pickup basketball tonight", "study sesh at the library" • Add a photo, a time, a place, or cap the spots • Choose your audience — all your friends, a group, or just a few people • Friends tap "I'm down" or "Can't" — you instantly see who's in WHY IMDOWN • Plans, not posts. No likes, no followers, no algorithm — just what your friends are doing right now • Groups for your crews — roommates, teammates, the Sunday hike gang • Built-in chat to talk it out with everyone who's down • Spot limits — first come, first down • Push notifications so nobody misses the move YOUR PRIVACY • Plans are only visible to the audience you choose — never public • Contact sync is optional and uses hashed numbers; we never see your address book • No ads. We don't sell your data. Life's better when someone's down. Get imDown and find out who is.
