IRL Social App to Meet People and Make Real-Life Connections
JoinMeIn is the IRL social app built for one simple idea: the best connections happen in person, not in an endless chat thread. Go live when you're out and want to be found, browse what's happening nearby tonight, host your own plan, and actually meet up, all from your phone, on iOS and Android.
- Go live: see who's nearby when you want to be found
- Browse tonight: find IRL events and plans happening near you
- Shared interests: connect over hobbies you already love
- Meet in your city: safely, on your terms, across JoinMeIn locations
- iOS + AndroidLive on both stores

How it works
Three taps from opening the app to being somewhere.
- 01
Go live
Tap the Go live pill and you appear on the radar for a window you choose, 30 minutes, an hour, or three. Tap it again and you're off. Nothing is broadcast when you're not live.
- 02
See who and what's around
One map, three lenses. People shows who's nearby right now. Plans shows what's actually happening tonight. Dating is a separate layer you switch on only if you want it.
- 03
Meet in person
Connect, agree on something, and go. Scan the QR at the door to check in and unlock the host's offer.

The radar
Nobody sees you until you say so.
You are invisible on JoinMeIn until you tap Go live, and then only for the window you picked, at the level of detail you picked, to the people you picked. Everything about being findable is a decision you make each time.
Three levels of visible
Full shows your profile. Limited hides your name and photo. Anonymous also drops your age and star sign. The server strips the fields. They're never sent and then hidden.
Decide who can see you
Everyone nearby, verified people only, women only, or men only. The rule is applied both when someone looks for you and when you're pushed to them.
Around you
A live list of who's closest, updating over a socket as people arrive, move and leave, not a page you have to pull to refresh.
Connect, then talk
Send a connect request from someone's pin. Chat only opens once it's accepted, so nobody can message you out of nowhere.
Say what you're up for
Broadcast a nearby interest, coffee, a walk, dinner, a workout, with a note, a radius up to 50 km and a 15, 30 or 60 minute life. Then it disappears.
Astrology match
Optional. Turn it on and nearby people are ranked by how your star signs get along, instead of by distance alone.
Crossed paths
Off unless you turn it on. When it's on, the app remembers the people you kept almost meeting, so you can find them later.

Experiences
Something to actually turn up to.
Rooftop sessions, run clubs, listening nights, dinners with strangers who won't be strangers by dessert. Switch the map to Plans and see what's on near you tonight, free or ticketed, open to all or approved by the host.
What's on, near you
Browse by distance with filters for tonight, free entry, women-only, men-only and experiences with an offer, sorted by best offer, nearest, or starting soonest.
Tickets in one tap
Free tickets are issued the moment you ask for one. No payment screen, no waiting. Ticketed experiences show every tier, what it costs and how many are left before you commit.
Scan in at the door
Your ticket is an ADMIT ONE QR. Scan the host's code when you arrive to check in and unlock whatever they're offering on the night.
Open or approved
Hosts choose. Some plans put you straight on the list; others let the host see who's asking before they say yes.

Find your person, nearby.
Dating is a third lens on the same map, off until you switch it on. Build a card, Spark the singles who are actually out near you tonight, and when it's mutual you match and a chat opens. It's the same night out, with a different lens over it.
A card kept separate
Up to six photos, three prompts from a set of ten, height, neighbourhood, pronouns and whether you're after something long-term, casual or still figuring it out. It never shows up on the People or Plans lenses.
Spark, or pass
Tap a pin, read the whole card, then Spark or Pass. There's no deck to burn through. These are real people out near you tonight, not a stack of strangers three cities away.
Match to chat
A conversation only exists once you've both Sparked. It opens on an "It's a match" card. Nobody can message you before that, a one-way Spark stays private to the person who sent it.
Sparked you
See who's already Sparked you and is waiting on your answer. Spark them back and you match instantly.
Filters that cut both ways
Verified-only, who you're shown, an age range and a distance, applied to who you see and to who sees you. Both sides' filters have to pass before either of you appears.
Off in one tap
Switch the layer off and you disappear from the dating lens, while your card and every match you've made stay exactly as they were.
Worth being clear about: while your dating layer is on and you're live, nearby singles who pass your filters can see your card, your pin and your distance before anyone Sparks, that's what makes it a live map rather than a deck. Chat is the part that waits for a mutual Spark. Limit who that includes with the verified-only filter, or switch the layer off and you're gone from it entirely.

Hosting & venues
Run the night from your phone.
Anyone can host on JoinMeIn. There's no application and no separate tool to learn. You get the door, the guest list, ticket tiers and a way to message the room, all from the phone in your hand. Venues get their own listing, opening hours and booking book on top.
Bring your crowd, or let us fill it
Two ways to host. Invite-only keeps it off the map, the link is the door. Public puts it in front of people nearby, and you approve who's in.
Tiers and release waves
Name your tiers and set how many of each, then have the next wave release itself automatically once the one before it is 90% claimed.
One code on the door
Display your QR at the entrance for guests to scan, or scan their tickets one after another. Rotate the code any time without kicking out anyone already in.
Message the room
Push one announcement to everyone attending, a door time, a dress code, a change of plan. It reaches your guests, not strangers nearby.
List your venue
Put your bar, café or rooftop on the map, checked by a real person before it goes live, with your photos, amenities and price band.
Hours that match reality
Weekly opening hours with split shifts and past-midnight closes, single-date overrides and blackout ranges, and a booking book for the hosts who want to run a night in your space.
Safety & privacy
An app that gets people into a room has to earn it.
Meeting in person raises the bar on everything, so visibility is opt-in and time-boxed, personal chats are encrypted, and the controls are in the app rather than buried in a policy.
Encrypted personal chats
Every 1:1 conversation is end-to-end encrypted on your phone before it's sent. We can't read them. (Group chats attached to an event are not, the app tells you which is which.)
You're invisible by default
You don't appear anywhere until you go live, and only for as long as you chose. Dating is a separate layer that stays off until you switch it on.
Optional ID verification
Verify with a government ID and a selfie to get the ID badge, and, if you want, only let people who've done the same see you.
Blocking is silent
Block someone and they're never told. They can't see you on the radar, message you, or join your experiences.
SOS in two taps
Hold the SOS button, or shake your phone, and it opens your dialer and a pre-written text, ready for you to send. The hold is deliberate, so it can't fire in your pocket.
Quiet by default
Only three kinds of notification are always on: your plans, someone reaching out to you, and safety. Everything else is yours to turn on.
No background location
Your position is only ever reported while you're live with the app open. Close it, or let the timer run out, and JoinMeIn stops knowing where you are.
No ad tracking, at all
There are no third-party advertising SDKs in the app, no advertising identifier, and no tracking prompt, because we don't sell your attention to anyone.
Reports get answered
Report someone and you can see whether a human has reviewed it, and what they decided. Venues are document-checked by a person before they reach the map.

What is JoinMeIn, an IRL social app to meet people
Joinmenow Inc. built a social app to meet people around real-time, real-world connection instead of endless swiping, a live radar for people, plans, and places.
What Our Users Are Saying
I moved to a new city and didn't know a single person. Within two weeks of using JoinMeIn, I had a whole group of friends I actually hung out with in person.
I was so tired of matching with people and never actually meeting up. JoinMeIn's live radar changed that completely, I met someone for coffee the same day I downloaded it.
Hosting my own hangout on JoinMeIn was way easier than I expected. I posted a happy hour idea and had five people show up who I'd never met before.
As someone who works from home, JoinMeIn has genuinely helped me build a social life again. It doesn't feel like another dating app. It feels like actually going out.
The privacy controls are what sold me. I like that I can go live only when I want to, and turn it off just as easily.
