Discover who's nearby — at the café, the park, the bar. Wave to say hi, share what you're up for, and meet in person. Your third place starts her
Third Place App — meet people in real places, in real time.
Between home and work, there's a third place — the café, the park, the bar, the bookstore. Third Place App helps you discover who else is there right now, and gives you a low-pressure way to say hello.
HOW IT WORKS
Open the app when you arrive somewhere — a coffee shop, a park bench, a cocktail bar. You'll see a feed of other people nearby who are also open to meeting. Toggle off and you're gone from the feed; after 30 minutes of inactivity, you go offline automatically.
WAVE FIRST, TALK LATER
See someone interesting? Send a wave. Waves are anonymous — they tell someone you're curious without showing who you are. If they wave back, you both reveal at the same time. No cold-open DMs, no swiping, no awkward intros.
SHARE WHAT YOU'RE UP FOR
Every profile lists an intent — casual chat, new friends, or "see what happens." You meet people whose intent matches yours, so nobody's wondering what the other person wants.
FEATURES
- Proximity feed of people nearby, updated in real time
- Anonymous waves with mutual reveal
- Intent-based filters: chat, friends, see what happens
- Venue-aware radius — smaller at a café, larger at a park
- Block and report tools built in
- Photo-required profiles to keep things real
- You control when you're visible — toggle off, you're gone
PRIVACY YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE
Your location is only used while the app is open and you're toggled visible. When you go offline, it's deleted from our servers immediately. We don't sell your data, and we don't track you in the background. Other people in your venue can see your profile card; no one sees who wa.
WHO IT'S FOR
New in town. Working from a coffee shop. Out solo at a bar. Looking for friends, a conversation, or just to see who's around. Third Place is for the in-between moments — the ones where you'd say hi if you knew how.
Download Third Place and turn the room you're already in into a place to meet someone.
