How it works

How a week goes.

Here's the whole thing, from opening the app to the same seat next week.

ANY DAY

Open Activities. Every table is already planned: a board game cafe on College, a study table at Robarts, dinner on Spadina, each with a set time, a public place and four to eight seats.

ONE TAP

Take a seat. You see the activity and the seats left, never who's coming, so nobody is picking people off a list.

AT THE TABLE

Show up and check in. A table card marks the group, and whoever booked first says hi.

AFTER

If you'd sit with someone again, tap once. If they tap too, you can keep talking in the app, and the same seat is yours next week. If a table doesn't fill, you get a one-tap alternative.

Also, two nights a week

Wednesday and Sunday, any time from eight, you can join the queue and put your phone away. When you're paired you get a push, and a ten-minute blind conversation starts: text or voice, no names, no photos, and one thing you have in common to start you off. If it's going well, you can both extend it.

Afterward you each vote, privately. Two yeses and you see each other's profile and can keep talking. One no from either side and it stays closed for good. Everyone's on around 9:00, the last pairing goes out at 10:55, and three conversations a night is the limit.

What you'll never find here

  • A list of people to scroll.
  • Swiping.
  • Messages from people you haven't met.
  • A feed.

The details, if you want them

  • 18 or over, one account, and it has to be you.
  • Your profile is a display name, your program, a few interests and one photo, hidden until you've sat at a table together or both said yes.
  • Free, and meeting people, the reveal and the tables stay free.

The first tables are in September.
