Make friends in Austin. Then actually meet up.
ATX Friends matches you with people who like the same things and are free at the same times. Then it helps you pick a day and a place.

You both picked Outdoor & Nature, and you're both free Saturday mornings.
From “we should hang out” to a time and a place.
Most friendship apps stop at the match. This one is built around the plan.
Say what you like
Pick three things you enjoy doing and three times you're usually free.
Get matched
See people who share an activity, or the same kind of activity, and a free time. Answer a few optional questions for a compatibility score.
Propose a plan
What, when, and where, sent in one message. Or post an open plan anyone can join in the next 24 hours.
Go
Add it to Apple, Google, or Outlook Calendar, and get directions in Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze.
What we won't do.
A friendship app should help with loneliness, not become another thing on your phone that wants your attention.
- No subscription
- Making friends isn't a premium tier. The app is free.
- No ads, no selling your data
- Your profile, messages, and location aren't a product.
- No streaks or badges
- Nothing designed to pull you back in just to keep a number going.
- No endless swiping
- Matches are based on real overlap, so each one is someone you could actually meet this week.
A good week on ATX Friends is one where you barely opened it, because you were out.
Austin only, on purpose.
You need to be within 50 miles of Austin to sign up. A friendship app only works when people live close enough to meet on a Thursday night. Spread across a whole country, it's just a list of strangers.
Open source. Start one for your city.
All the code is public. If you want this for Boston or Portland, take it, give it your own name, and build it for where you live. Improvements you share make every city's version better.
Your next friend might already be free on Saturday.
The beta is open now for iPhone. Want to test on Android? Email gap512@protonmail.com from the Gmail address you use for Google Play. That's the address we add to the tester list.
