Pocket Friends: Hang Out IRL

Real friends deserve real time. Pocket Friends brings friendships back IRL with an interactive map to see who’s free, who’s nearby, and what you can do together.

Pocket Friends helps real friends spend more time together in real life.

Share when you’re free, see which friends are up to meet, and send a low-pressure nudge. When the feeling is mutual, pick a time and place together. Pocket Friends keeps planning lightweight, so spontaneous hangouts can actually happen.

FEATURES

• Share a short availability window with friends • See nearby friends who are also free • Poke a friend and respond with yes, later, or not now • Agree on a time and place together • Create group hangs, control their in-app discovery, and share a web RSVP link • Save favorite public places for easier planning • Confirm meetups and remember time spent together • Use Ghost mode whenever you want to step off the map

PRIVACY AND SAFETY

Your location is disclosed only to eligible friends while both of you have active availability windows, and Radar does not disclose stale coordinates. If you choose “On my way” for a group hang, Pocket Friends can separately share a current location with going or checked-in participants for a limited period. For Nearby, you can use coarse location, withdraw availability, enable Ghost mode, mute, block, or report suspicious users at any time. Raw address-book phone numbers are hashed on your device before optional contact matching.
