Chat is back
Brane is group chats and DMs with people near you who are into the same things. The Sunday run club, the five-a-side that is always one player short, the board game crew. Find yours and jump in.
Free. No ads. 18 and over.
Made for this
Local clubs, weekly games and the friends you have not met yet. A few ideas to start with.
8k on Sunday, coffee after. The chat picks the route and nobody gets left at the hill.
Short a player at 6pm? Ask the chat. Sorted by 6.05.
Find someone near you to climb with after work, whatever grade you are on.
Bring a game, meet four new people, argue about the rules.
Who is at the park this morning? The chat knows.
Every event has its own chat, so you turn up already knowing people.
Search anything
Bouldering. Sourdough. Formula 1. Salsa. Search any interest and Brane shows you the people near you who love it too, nearest first. Then just say hi.
Say hi
No friend requests, no swiping and no waiting for a match. Open a profile, say hello, and start with the thing you both love.
Crowds
A Crowd is a group chat with a home on the map. People nearby find it when they search, join in one tap, and the conversation is already going. Start one for your club in a minute.
Chat is back
Before the feeds, the likes and the endless scroll, there were chat rooms full of people who loved the same things. Brane brings that back, with real conversations about real interests and the people down the road.
