JoyUp

Social media brings people together online. JoyUp brings people together in real life.

Looking to meet people who share your values? Want to get out of the house without scrolling for two hours? Want to find a real community around what matters to you? JoyUp is for you.

🎯 HOW IT WORKS — THREE STEPS, ZERO FRICTION

1. Create your profile in 2 minutes: tell us who you are and what's important to you.

2. Discover outings near you, filtered by your values ​​and interests.

3. Sign up with one click, meet other participants in person, and make real connections.

🌱 MEANINGFUL OUTINGS

On JoyUp, you'll find outings focused on:

• Faith and spirituality — retreats, lunch after church, shared readings
• Ecology and nature — walks, litter cleanups, community gardens, workshops

• Safe spaces — listening spaces, support groups, run clubs, journaling workshops

• Social impact — volunteering, outreach programs, associations, charitable causes
• Creativity — workshops, exhibitions, photography, writing, music

• Culture and ideas — museums, film clubs, debates, books

• Sport and well-being — run clubs, hikes, outdoor yoga

You can also create your own outing in seconds and invite the community.

✨ WHAT MAKES JOYUP DIFFERENT

• Matching by values, not by swiping: you are more than your hobbies, your values ​​matter too.

• Small group outings to encourage real conversations.

• A supportive, moderated community where you can report any inappropriate behavior.

• No ads, no endless scrolling: just outings, people, and meaning.

• Integrated secure ticketing for paid outings (verified organizers).

💬 A REAL COMMUNITY

Chat with other participants before and after the outing via the group chat. Stay connected, suggest another outing, and meet up with them the following week. JoyUp isn't just another app to forget—it's where your social calendar comes alive.

• You choose what you share. Minimal profile possible, photo optional.

• Data stored in Europe, encrypted in transit.
