pullup: chat less, pull up
See who is around you
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
See who is out within 500 m, sneak peek active areas beyond your radar, share live location in chat for 30 minutes, and pull up when you want to.
Meet people who are physically near you, safely and on your terms.
18+ only. Location sharing is opt-in and manual. You choose when to appear on the map, and you can block or report any user at any time.
pullup is a lightweight, location-based icebreaker for spontaneous real-life moments. Travelling solo and want to meet locals? At a festival looking for someone to hang with? New at university? Hanging in the park? New in town? Turn your radar on and see who is around within 500 metres.
This is not a dating app. No swipes, no matches, no photo sharing in chat. Just a simple way to say hi to someone nearby and start a short conversation.
HOW IT WORKS
Turn your radar on manually to appear on the map. It starts off every time you open the app.
See real people nearby and the vibe they are up for.
Send a chat request. They have to accept before you can message.
Start chatting and meet up in real life.
BEACON
Inside a chat you can share your live location with that one person for 30 minutes. It is one-way, visible only in that chat, moves with you, and you can turn it off at any time. It disappears immediately when you stop it or when the 30 minutes are up.
PERFECT FOR
Travelling solo and meeting locals or other travellers
Finding someone to hang with at a festival
New at university and looking for people on campus
Spending a chill afternoon in the park
Just moved to a new city and want to say hi
VIBES
Pick what you are up for: Bar, Cafe, Love, Party, Sport, Club. Other people see your vibe and know what kind of hang you are open to.
PRIVACY FIRST
Appearing on the map is always a manual choice. The radar starts off on every launch and there is no auto check-in.
Your exact location is never shared with other users on the map. Coordinates are fuzzed before they ever leave the server.
Beacon is the only exception, and it is fully opt-in: exact location, one chosen person, 30 minutes maximum, no history stored.
Turning the radar off deletes your live location immediately.
Location history is purged after 24 hours.
Read messages auto-delete 30 minutes after being read.
Unread messages are deleted after 24 hours.
No background location tracking. The radar only updates while the app is open.
Text-only chat. No image, video, or file sending.
SAFETY
18+ age verification on signup
Block and report any user, any time, from the chat, the nearby list, and settings
GDPR-compliant, full data export and account deletion
Active moderation
pullup is free to use. Turn your radar on and see who is around.
