Shake Social

Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Meet someone in real life. Both shake your phones. You're connected. That's Shake: the fastest way to swap contacts without typing usernames or scanning QR codes.
HOW IT WORKS
You're standing next to someone you just met. You both open Shake and shake your phones at the same time. The app uses Bluetooth and motion to detect the match in under a second. You're now connected. Your name, photo, and the handles you choose to share are theirs to see.
Shake again the next day to start a streak.
STREAKS
Shake with the same person every day to build a streak. Streaks reset if you skip a day. Use them to stay close with the people who matter—your roommate, your coworker, your weekend crew.
LEADERBOARDS
See who's making the most new connections this week, who has the longest streaks, and who pulled off the biggest group shake. Three, five, ten people shaking at once, all connected in a single moment. The app handles it.
YOUR PROFILE, YOUR PRIVACY
Choose who sees each of your social handles: anyone, your direct connections, or your friends-of-friends. Your shake history is private between you and the other person. Nobody else sees who you've met.
No ads. No third-party trackers. We don't sell your data. Account deletion is one tap in Settings and it's permanent — your profile, photos, and history go immediately.
BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY GO PLACES
Shake works on any iPhone with Bluetooth and Location turned on. We use your location only at the moment you shake, to confirm you're actually near the person you're meeting. We never track your movements between shakes.
Sign up with Apple or email. Find someone nearby. Shake.
See you out there.
