Most apps either drop you into a giant networking event or make you swipe on profiles. Let's app is different: you match on the activity, not faces. Post what you actually want to do (golf, coffee, pickleball, a movie tonight) and people nearby ask to join. You approve who comes, hosts are ID verified, and locations stay approximate until you say yes. Plus a private mode to plan with your own friends in subgroups, so you can ditch the busy group chat. This is the app for forming connections IRL.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Let's app out of a pretty personal frustration. I wanted to be social but had no real outlet for it. I work from home, I'm well out of college, and I'm not part of any clubs, so my only move was striking up conversations with strangers and hoping we had something in common. And even for the great friendships I did build over the years, being in a new city, the hard part never went away: actually getting together. It was endless back-and-forth texting across a bunch of different people to see who was free on any given night or weekend, and it usually ended with me just staying in because nobody was available. I waited years for someone to build the thing that fixed this. Eventually I gave up waiting and built it myself. Let's app is dead simple: post what you actually want to do (golf, coffee, a movie tonight) and people nearby can ask to join. You approve who gets in. You match on the activity, not profiles. Hosts are ID verified and locations stay approximate until you approve someone. The part I'm most excited about is you can also use it privately with your own friends so it's useful right away, even without local adoption in your immediate area yet. Make subgroups or invite people directly instead of herding everyone into one giant group chat nobody reads. So, it fixes both problems, meeting new people AND actually getting your existing friends to show up. It's live on the App Store & Play Store! Loneliness is a real and honestly scary problem, and I don't think one app fixes it. But the gap between "I want to do something" and "I have people to do it with" feels fixable. That's what I'm going after. Would love your honest feedback. Did you download? What did you love/hate/hope to see? What would make you more likely to share this with your friends? Many thanks in advance!

Tried posting a coffee meetup last night and got two nearby people interested within an hour, which surprised me. The activity-first approach just feels way less awkward than swiping on faces.

@elmasfdth that's awesome to hear! I don't know in what world we decided that matching with the face is the ideal way to make a friend 🤷‍♂️ Here's to a better way!

Finally, an app that gets that I want a pickleball partner, not a dating profile. Loved the ID verification and the private mode for coordinating with my actual friends.

@devransulb15560 Thank you! It's exactly this. Amazing that the obvious has been missed for so long in other apps. Glad you can appreciate the direction 🙌
