How it works

From the urge to the meetup.

  1. 1

    Pick an activity

    Coffee, a beer after work, a walk — or something of your own. The activity tells your friends in one word what this is about.

  2. 2

    Time and place

    You set how long your meetup runs. A place is optional: a café nearby, “at mine” — or you leave it open.

  3. 3

    Friends see you

    Anyone nearby who is friends with you sees the meetup. Strangers never do, and even friends see only a rough distance, not your position.

  4. 4

    They're in

    One tap on “I'm in” — joining is instant, you get a notification and watch the round grow. If you don't want anyone else, you close the meetup.

This is for you if

When time suddenly opens up.

A meeting falls through

Two unexpected hours free in the middle of town. Too short to plan, too good to waste.

You don't want to bother anyone

Asking five people individually feels like work — for you and for them. A meetup asks nobody, it just invites.

The evening is still open

You're already at the café and would like company. Say where you're and let the others decide.

Honestly

What freimo does not do here.

A spontaneous meetup only works if nobody feels put on the spot.

  • No strangers. Only people you are friends with can see your meetup. There is no public map where unknown people find you.
  • No exact position. Friends see a rough distance and the neighbourhood, never your address or a pin on a map. Location is optional and can be switched off at any time.
  • No background tracking. freimo does not follow you around. Your location matters while your meetup is running — after that it does not.
  • No push to everyone. A meetup is an invitation, not a notification avalanche. Anyone who cannot make it does not have to decline — they simply do nothing.

Privacy

Who sees you when you are live.

A meetup is visible to your friends only, and only while it runs. What is shared is a rough distance — never coordinates, never an address. You can leave the location out entirely and still go live; then only the activity is shown. When the meetup ends it disappears from your friends' view.

Questions

About meeting spontaneously.

Do I have to approve who joins?

No. A tap on “I'm in” counts immediately — that's what keeps spontaneous meetups spontaneous. Instead you control the meetup itself: while it's open friends can join; once you close it, nobody else can.

Can my friends see exactly where I am?

No. They see a rough distance and at most the neighbourhood. Your exact position or address is never shared, and you can leave location out completely.

How long does a meetup run?

As long as you set when creating it. After that it ends automatically. You can end it earlier at any time.

What is the live room?

While your meetup runs there's a shared space for it: everyone who is in can write and share photos. It belongs to the meetup and disappears with it.

Do I need a calendar for this?

No. Spontaneous meetups work without a calendar — they only ask whether you have time right now.
