Akin — discover events and people around you. Akin is an invite-only community app for finding classes, workshops, and social gatherings near you, and for meeting the people who actually show up to them. DISCOVER EVENTS Browse what's happening nearby — wellness classes, workshops, dinners, and community gatherings. Filter by what's close to you, what's on this weekend, or by price. BOOK YOUR SPOT Reserve a place in a few taps, pick your ticket type, and keep your ticket in the app. Download or share it any time from your bookings. SEE WHO'S GOING Every event shows the other members attending, so you know who you'll meet before you arrive. PEOPLE NEARBY Opt in to share your approximate location and see other Akin members around you on a map. It is off by default, and you can switch it off again at any time. YOUR PROFILE Add a photo, a short bio, and the interests you want to be known for. A COMMUNITY, NOT A FEED Akin is invite-only and every member is reviewed before they join. A short introduction quiz during sign-up helps us understand what you're into, so the events we show you are ones you'd actually want to attend. You can report or block any member, and delete your account from your profile whenever you like. Have an invite code? Enter it when you sign up. No invite? You can still apply to join.
