A calmer way to make plans
Life's better
with people.
You shouldn't need a dating app to meet somebody new. You shouldn't need 143 WhatsApp messages to organise the people you already know.
WITH is being built to make doing things with people easier.
Why WITH
We can communicate with almost anyone instantly. Meeting new people in real life can still be surprisingly difficult.
You might have friends but struggle to organise everyone. You might fancy something they don't, have moved somewhere new, work remotely, or simply want more people in your life.
How it works
Start with something you fancy doing.
Think of something
Coffee this afternoon. A coastal walk on Sunday. Anyone fancy seeing Wicked sometime next month? That's enough to start.
Ask your people
WITH collects interest and availability, then helps work out what fits. Guests won't need an account simply to respond.
Then go
If your group wants to, open a spare place to someone suitable. Then close the app and actually do something.
Plans with people you know
WITH isn't only for meeting new people.
Trying to get six friends to agree on a Saturday should not require 143 WhatsApp messages.
Propose dates, collect availability, coordinate the Plan and invite people who don't use WITH. If you have a spare place, your group decides whether to open it.
Meet people naturally
Meet people without deciding what they're supposed to become.
Someone you meet might become:
01Someone you occasionally go to the theatre with
02A travel companion
03Part of your regular social circle
04A close friend
05A partner
06Or simply someone you enjoyed meeting once
All of those are valid outcomes.
A different philosophy
People aren't search results.
WITH doesn't begin with “Women aged 18–24 within 10 miles.” It starts with things you might enjoy doing, how you like to spend time, when you're free, practical distance and the people you might genuinely get on with.
What do you fancy doing? Not: who do you want to browse?
Designed to be put down
The app that wants you to close it.
We're not trying to win your screen time. If WITH helps you make a Plan and then you close it, it's doing its job.
When there's nothing left, it says so: “That's about it.” Then lets you get on with your day.
Privacy
We don't need to know everything about you.
Collect less. Ask when there's a reason. Don't sell personal data or build third-party advertising profiles. Businesses won't be able to buy access to individual people. Precise home addresses stay protected. Privacy isn't an upgrade.
Safety
Meeting people should feel normal. Safety still matters.
We're designing protected first Introductions, no unrestricted cold messages, protected residential addresses, and clear blocking and reporting. Stronger identity checks will apply to some higher-risk ways of meeting, including one-to-one meetings arranged through WITH.
An identity check confirms identity. It is not a guarantee that somebody is trustworthy.
Our model
We don't want your attention to be the product.
We're exploring ways for WITH to support itself through useful local activities, venues and experiences — rather than selling personal information or charging people to jump communication boundaries.
Businesses may promote things to do. They won't browse people, buy private access, or buy someone's attention.
Built for the people using it
A proposed member voice.
We're designing a model where Identity Verified people could choose to become voting members of the organisation behind WITH. The intention is to protect fundamentals such as privacy, the mission and how people can be monetised.
This model is still being developed and is not yet a legal right.
The WITH Promise
We're here to help you spend more of your life with people, not with us.
We won't sell your personal information.
We won't sell businesses access to you.
We won't charge somebody to jump your communication boundaries.
We won't make core safety or privacy a premium feature.
We won't deliberately manufacture anxiety to keep you checking the app.
We won't hide good connections simply to make you pay.
And when WITH has done its job: close it.
Go do something WITH someone.
Current status
We're building it now.
WITH is currently in active development. We're testing the first version with a small number of people and building the foundations carefully before opening it more widely.
iOS, Android and web are being built together.
