Coming soon to the App Store · 18+

📍

Presence, by zone

People see the neighborhood you're in — never your exact location. Your precise spot stays on your device.

👥

Your circles

Keep it to the people you actually want around. Show up for them, not for strangers and not for likes.

Spur-of-the-moment plans

Drop a plan, see who's free, meet up. Built for "I'm out now" — not for scheduling three weeks ahead.

🔥

Reliability, rewarded

Showing up builds your streak. Nowby is made for people who follow through, and quietly favors them.

🛡️

Safety in the build

Block, report, and remove anyone, anytime. Meetups happen in public, and you stay in control of who's near.

🚫

Not another feed

Nothing to scroll, nothing to perform. Nowby exists to get you off the screen and into the room.
