Who's Free? Find Playdates

It's the end of the week. You realise Saturday morning is wide open - no plans, no parties, nothing. So you start the scramble: firing off messages, checking group chats, texting three different parents hoping someone's around. You feel awkward asking so last-minute, it's a load more admin on your plate, and you're not even sure anyone will be free. Who's Free? fixes this with one simple idea: post when your family is available, and see when your friends are too. That's the whole app. HOW IT WORKS Sign up, list your family, and invite friends you know. It takes under two minutes to get set up. When you're free, post it - pick a date, add an optional time window and a note about what you're up to. Your friends see it on their feed the moment you post. When they post, you see it on yours. No chasing replies. No coordinating. Just a quick glance at who's around. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Group chats weren't designed for this. Messages get buried, replies come too late, and nobody can see at a glance who's actually free. Who's Free? replaces all of that with a single, clear feed. • See a live feed of friends who are free • Post availability in seconds, not minutes • Show which of your children are available • Invite friends with a single tap • Real-time updates - no refreshing needed It does one thing, and does it well. No threads to scroll, no messages to chase. PRIVATE BY DESIGN This isn't a social network. There are no public profiles and no strangers. You choose who to connect with, and only approved friends see your availability. You control whether others can find you by email or phone. Your family's information stays within your circle. MADE FOR THE REAL WORLD We know you're managing a mountain of life admin. Who's Free? is deliberately lightweight - open it, see who's free, and get on with your day. Free to download. No ads. No in-app purchases.
