Shake phones to connect in real life. Find your scene, host recurring events, and keep the group together—with RSVPs, shared chats, and calendars.
shake is the social app for real life. when you meet someone, you shake your phones together. that's it. no usernames, no QR codes, no "what's your @". one shake and you're connected.
every shake becomes part of your story:
your graph: watch your real-life social network grow. every person you've shaken with, every group that's shaken together, drawn as a living map. your groups cluster, your worlds collide, and you can replay the whole thing growing from your very first shake.
quakes: host a night out or make it a recurring thing. invite your connections and scenes, collect RSVPs, and chat with your guests. recurring dates share one chat. friends can RSVP in their browser without downloading shake. subscribe in Apple Calendar or Google Calendar, then shake at the event to see who actually connected.
scenes — shake with the same people enough times and shake works out who your crews are, and names them. nobody invites you into a scene and nobody can invite anyone else in — you shake your way in, and if you drift away from a crew you drift out of it. each one gets its own page, its own chat room, and a map of how it's actually connected. not in one yet? the tab shows your whole graph until your first scene forms.
achievements: over 250 badges, most of them secret. you find them by seeing them on other people's profiles… or by earning them yourself. the achievements tab shows the ones you're closest to, the ones you can only earn right now (shake at exactly 11:11), and one featured badge each week whose criteria we reveal.
streaks: shake with the same person every day and keep it alive. lose it and, well, there might be a badge for that too.
ranks: weekly and all-time leaderboards with your friends or everyone: connections, shakes, streaks, recruits, badges, biggest group shakes.
summons: drop a pin and summon your people to you, right now. whoever shows up and shakes made it real.
shake works at parties, shows, meetups, weddings, hackathons, first dates, chance encounters — anywhere people actually meet. if your phone is in your hand and someone's in front of you, you're one shake away.
shake — because you were there.
I was alone in nyc and then randomly a very tall man came up to me and asked if i had the snake app? I was confused, so i downloaded and onboarded (very easy process) then connected. I felt so electric, my depression was gone. Thank you shake app.
It's fun
hello old rabbit
I like how social this app is. It's fun to be part of a new online community. The dev is always releasing new updates that make it better and better to connect with new people and old friends alike.
The future of social apps...

... is standing in a circle and continuing to chat while shaking your phone. Great gamification mechanics and a super simple UX make this the best new social app out there.

I don’t even have words to describe how perfect this app is!
Better group chats: share photos and videos, reply to messages, and preview links.
Simpler Quakes, clearer recurring-chat history, and fixes for notifications, RSVPs, cancelled events and unexpected sign-outs.
