Real friendships, not dating.
Sawa is Switzerland's app for making real friends — and actually meeting them.
Most apps drop you into a group chat with strangers and hope something happens. It rarely does. Sawa works the other way round: we invite you to a real plan — a place, a day, a time — with a few people nearby who fit. Everyone answers yes or no. The people who say yes become your crew, and the plan is already set.
HOW IT WORKS
Tell us your city, languages, interests, and when you're usually free
We send you an invitation: a small group, a specific place, a specific time
Say hi with a short voice message, so nobody arrives among strangers
Tap "I'm in" — once enough people are in, your crew is created
Meet up. Then do it again.
WHY SAWA
A real plan, not another chat that fades
You hear people's voices before you meet them
Small groups — never an awkward 1:1
First meet-ups are easy and cheap: cafés, walks by the lake
No dating, no swiping, no pressure
Real profiles. Privacy-first. We never sell your data.
PERFECT FOR
People who moved to a new city and want a circle again
Expats and students looking for real friends
Anyone tired of "we should meet up sometime"
YOUR PRIVACY
Your profile is visible only inside the app, and your crew chat is members-only. Voice intros are shared only with the people invited to the same plan. We don't sell your data and we don't show third-party ads.

Sawa now invites you to a real plan — a place, a day, a time — with people who said yes to the same thing. Say hi with your voice before you meet, so nobody walks in among strangers.
