New in town or just want more going on? Find meetups, events and groups near you – and keep your own circle organised in one place. No dating, no swiping.
ThirdPlaces is the app for everyone who wants to meet real people in their city.
For those who want to expand their circle of friends, better organize existing groups, or simply find connection. Not chatting online — but actually going out and meeting in person.
No swiping. No matching. No dating app.
Hiking, cooking nights, game nights, coffee walks, bowling nights, museum visits. Together with people who share the same interests as you.
WHAT IS THIRDPLACES?
The term “third place” comes from sociology. It refers to the space beyond home and work — the third location. Cafés, parks, sports clubs. Places where real connections are formed. ThirdPlaces brings exactly that to your smartphone.

Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
My World, rebuilt
One timeline instead of four tabs: everything you said yes to, grouped by day –
plus your bubbles and spaces, open invitations, your saved items and an archive
for everything that's over.
Explore, tidied up
The map is no longer its own screen – it now lives right inside Explore. New:
overview pages per section and a dedicated page for official spaces.
The same cards everywhere
Spaces and bubbles in My World now show what they show in Explore: type, level
and how many members are near you. For events you can see how many are going,
how many are interested and how many groups are heading there together.
Light theme reworked
Cards stand out more clearly from the background, counters are colour-coded,
and the logo adapts to the mode.
