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.

Three lenses, one map

What are you up for tonight?

People

Go live and see who's around you right now, for a window you pick, at the level of detail you pick, to the people you pick. Nothing is broadcast when you're not live.

Explore the radar

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.

Explore the radar

Go live on a timer
Pick how long you stay discoverable, 30 min, 1 hour or 3, with a live countdown. It ends by itself; there's no way to forget you left it on.
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.

Dating · opt-in

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.

About dating

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.

Start hosting

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.

🔥 DailyDays in a row you showed up

🤝 ConnectionsDays you met someone new

🎉 PlansDays you joined something

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.

Joinmenow Inc. is a social app to meet people that's built around real-time, real-world connection instead of endless swiping. Instead of matching with someone and hoping a conversation eventually turns into a hangout, JoinMeIn flips the model: you see who's actually out and available right now on Live Radar, what's happening nearby, and who wants to meet up tonight.

Think of it as a live radar for people, plans, and places, a cool website and app to meet people that replaces the guesswork of traditional apps with something closer to how people used to meet before dating apps took over: showing up, being visible, and connecting face to face. Whether you're looking for new friends, a bigger social circle, or something more, JoinMeIn is designed as a genuine alternative dating app and meetup app rolled into one.

See how it works →Get the app →

Unlike local meet up sites that rely on static event listings or forums, JoinMeIn updates in real time, so what you see is what's actually happening right now, not what was posted last week.

Go live, when you're free and open to meeting people, coffee, a bar, or just a walk. Learn more on Live Radar.
Browse the radar, to see who else nearby is live right now, along with plans or events close to you.
Send a message or join a plan, with no long back-and-forth required. If someone lives nearby, you can reach out and make plans on the spot.
Meet in person, and let the conversation happen where it matters most, face to face.

Most apps are built to keep you scrolling inside the app. JoinMeIn is built to get you out of it. As an in real life social app, everything about JoinMeIn, from the live radar to the IRL events listings, is designed to move the connection from your screen to an actual meetup as quickly as possible.

If you've ever felt like your dating or friend-making apps have turned into unpaid pen-pal jobs, JoinMeIn is different. It's a meeting dating site and social platform where the goal isn't more messages. It's more meetups. Whether you're new to a city, tired of the same friend group, or just want to meet people in person more spontaneously, JoinMeIn makes showing up the whole point.

Explore cities →

Beyond one-on-one connections, JoinMeIn is also one of the best local meetups near me tools for discovering what's actually happening in your area tonight. Browse user-hosted plans, happy hours, game nights, hikes, and pop-up hangouts, or host your own on IRL Events.

This is what sets JoinMeIn apart from typical dating apps or generic IRL social apps to make friends: it's not just about individual matches, it's about real gatherings.

Most of the best American dating sites and apps are built around swiping, matching, and messaging, often for weeks, before anyone actually meets. JoinMeIn takes a different approach.

Traditional, endless swiping, long chat threads, static profiles, one-on-one focus, built to keep you in the app.
JoinMeIn, live radar of real people nearby, meet up the same day, real-time visibility and plans, individual + group meetups, built to get you out and meet people.

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.
Emily R.New App User

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.
Daniel K.Verified User

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.
Jessica S.Event Host

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.
Chris B.Regular User

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.
Jordan T.New App User
