Physical Social Network

10 real friends
beat 10,000 virtual ones.

Far from just another social network: meetDo is a physical social network. It exists to create real experiences, by meeting other people in the real world — not behind a screen.

What you love doing, someone else is looking for too. A run on Sunday morning, climbing after work, chess in the park, brushing up your German, cooking with three pairs of hands. Three streets away, someone wants the same thing at the same time.

Physical Social Network

A social network that makes you leave the house

Social networks replaced meeting people with pictures of meeting people. meetDo does the opposite: nothing here counts until you have actually turned up, in the same place, in person.

An ordinary social network

  • Thousands of followers
  • An hour of scrolling
  • Liking a photo of a hike
  • A profile you curate

meetDo

  • Three people who actually show up
  • An hour outside with someone
  • Having been on it
  • A spot held for you

That is why there are no ratings, no leaderboards and no scores: what matters already happened somewhere other than a screen.

What meetDo will never do

No ratings, no leaderboards, no scores

This is not a missing feature: it is a decision, and it is written into the product's code.

Nobody rates you

No stars, no average, no public review of you. After a shared activity there is exactly one question: "would you recommend them?" Yes, or not really.

No ranking between people

No top-ten table, no invitation count next to your name. Where a yes-or-no will do, meetDo never shows a number — because a number on display always ends up being sorted.

No performance stats published

Your distance, your pace and your calories are nobody's business. meetDo exists to find you someone, not to compare you to them.

No streak to lose

No "you are about to lose your 12-day streak". A missed activity is not a failure, and an app has no business making you feel otherwise.

No categories imposed

An activity is anything done together

meetDo does not decide what you are allowed to propose. If the activity you are looking for does not exist yet, write it: then it will.

Move

Running, cycling, climbing, swimming, yoga, team sports, hiking.

Play

Chess, board games, role-playing, cards, impromptu tournaments.

Learn

Language tandems, study groups, writing workshops, peer help.

Create

Photography, music, drawing, making, cooking with many hands.

Go out

Exhibitions, gigs, cinema, markets, city walks.

Help out

Community gardens, litter picking, lending a hand to neighbours.

Work

Co-working sessions, revision, shared projects.

Something else

Write the name of what you want to do. You create the category.

One thing to remember

A slot, or a programme

A slot

A one-off meet-up: a time, a place, a number of spots. It happens once, then it leaves the feed.

A programme

An intention followed over time: a rhythm, a duration, sessions that come back. You sign up once and keep meeting for weeks.

Four steps

Four steps, and you are in

Say what you like

Three screens at sign-up, not a form. The third already shows you what is happening around you.

Look around you

The map reads two ways: places where something happens regularly, and dated meet-ups you can join right now.

Join, or propose

One slot, one spot, one button. Nothing nearby? Post your own in thirty seconds — the activity, when, where, a word.

Meet up

The exact address appears as soon as you have joined, the host is notified, and you can tell someone close where you are going.

Before you meet anyone

Meeting a stranger takes preparation

This is what meetDo has worked on hardest, and what other apps talk about least.

Tell someone, and get home

Before you leave you arm a watch: someone close knows where you are going and when you should be back. If you do not confirm your return, they are told. And if you have nobody to tell, the watch still works.

Public or private place

A private place only shows its address to people who have joined. Until you have, you see the neighbourhood, not the door.

Never a place and a routine together

Text leaving meetDo cannot say both where you are and that you are there every Tuesday: that would be a pattern of life. The product refuses to compose that sentence, even when you ask it to.

What others see of you

One page lists every channel through which someone could observe you — and a button at the bottom cuts them all at once. Nothing in meetDo can see you without appearing there.

Block, quietly

Blocking and reporting are one tap away. The blocked person is not told.

Nothing but the positive

You can recommend someone; you cannot rate them. There is no way, in meetDo, to leave a public negative trace on a person.

Where it started

Cities

meetDo starts where there are already people. These cities first — the others follow as soon as a first slot is posted there.

What people ask us

What can you actually do with meetDo?

Anything done together. Sport, yes, but also chess in the park, a language tandem, a work session, an exhibition, a community garden. If the activity is not in the catalogue yet, you write it and it exists.

Is this a dating app?

No. You meet around an activity, not around a profile. There is no swiping, no matching by affinity, no ranking of people — and no way to rate anyone.

Do I need to be any good already?

No. Level is an optional hint, and "any level" is the default. A good share of posted slots are aimed at beginners.

Who sees my name and where I live?

Your position is never shown precisely to other members: they see an approximate distance, which you can widen. A settings page lists every channel through which someone could see you, and a button cuts them all.

What happens if a meet-up is cancelled?

Everyone who joined is notified. Leaving a slot is reversible and gives the spot back to someone else.

What if nobody does that near me?

That is the most common case early on. Two answers: post the first slot, or set an alert on the activity and radius you care about — meetDo tells you as soon as someone starts.

Does it cost anything?

No. meetDo is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.

Are there trackers or cookies?

This site has no cookies, no trackers and no external resources: no remote fonts, no CDN, no third-party analytics. That is why it shows no consent banner — it has nothing to ask you to accept.

How do I delete my account?

From the app settings, in two taps, without writing to anyone. If you no longer have access to the app, the account deletion page lets you request it.

Something is happening three streets away

And someone there is looking for exactly what you are looking for. In the real world.
