we'll find an hour that works across everyone's time zones and set up the call.

meet the world
we make the introduction. after that, it's yours. build your own village of friends around the globe. keep talking, plan to meet some day, or don't. no pressure either way.
faqs
01how does it work?
you answer a few questions about who you are and who you'd get on with. we put you into groups of 3-5 with each from a different country. then schedule a video call that works across everyone's time zones and you talk.
02is this for making friends, or is it a dating thing?
friends. we match you with people from around the world. what happens after is yours to decide, but we built this for real platonic connection.
03who's it for?
people who are curious about the world and want to actually talk to it. you just need to be curious, open, respectful and up for a conversation with people a bit different from you.
04do i have to keep meeting them?
only if you want to. we set up the first call. after that, the group is yours. keep the chat going, plan to meet in person someday, or let it be a good one-off. all fine. nothing to keep up with, no app pestering you.
05what makes it different from other "meet people" apps?
other apps hand you a feed and leave you to do the work of endless scrolling, swiping, messaging, trying to find the right people. we do all that for you. you just show up.
06what language will we talk in?
english, for now. more languages will come as we grow.
