Pods Offline: Make Friends IRL
Meet new people, join or host local events

Make friends in real life. Find run clubs, supper clubs, book circles & weekly walks near you. Pods Offline is the app for IRL plans - real people, real places, no swiping, no algorithm. Stop going alone. Your city is already full of people doing the exact thing you love. They just haven't met you yet. Pods Offline matches you with people in your city - on activity, not on profiles so you can join a Sunday run, a weekly supper, a slow Saturday read in the park, and actually keep showing up.

WHAT MAKES PODS DIFFERENT

- Activity-based matching, not bios. You both wanted to run. That's the test.

- Recurring by default. A coffee is forgettable. The eighth Sunday in a row becomes a ritual.

- Hosts are the heroes. Real people in your city are running the best rooms — Pods makes them findable.

- Free to join. No paywalls. No swipes. No ads in your feed.

- Not a dating app. Not a network. The thing you've been wishing for since your friend group got busy.

WHAT YOU CAN DO ON PODS

- Join a community built around an actual hobby. Same six people. Same time. Every week.

- Book a seat at a small supper — six strangers, one long table.

- Join a slow-pace bike ride or a weekend hike with the same crew, week after week.

- Read together at a Saturday silent book hour - phones in a basket, coffee in hand.

- Make a friend at a weeknight yoga circle, a Sunday pottery class, or a quiet sober dinner that doesn't feel forced.

- Host your own pod. Pick the thing you love. We bring the people who love it too.

ACTIVITIES YOU CAN FIND ON PODS

- Run clubs: sunrise runs, slow Sunday long runs, beginner-friendly pace groups.

- Supper clubs: small, home-hosted dinners. Six strangers, one long table.

HOW PODS WORKS

- HOST or join: Pick a thing you actually love. Dinner, a run, pottery, Sunday sketching. Make a plan around the activity.

- MATCH: We match you with people in your city based on activity and intent, not bios and demographics.

- SHOW UP: Phones in pockets. Pods' job is to get you in the same place at the same time.

- REPEAT: Turn one-offs into weekly rituals. That's where the friendships actually happen.

- FOR CLUBS, RUN GROUPS, SUPPER HOSTS & CREATORS

- Already running a run club, supper club, book circle, or weekly ritual? Bring it to Pods. RSVPs, recurring plans, and member messaging in one place. Setup takes 10 minutes. No setup fee. No cut on free events.

SAFETY
- Photo verification on every account. In-app reporting on every pod. A trained review team responds to safety reports within 24 hours.

FREE TO JOIN

- The core experience is free - joining pods, browsing your city, hosting free events. Some hosts charge a per-event fee for things like supper clubs, pottery classes, or training blocks. That's set by them, not by us. No paywalls. No subscription. No locked features.
