More UK cities to follow

Post a hike, a dinner, a five-a-side — and verified people nearby in your age range hear about it, starting with those who like the same things.

Every member passes an ID check before they can join a plan, see who’s going or chat.

Sign-ups open soon

We’re opening the waitlist shortly. Follow @good.company.app on Instagram to hear first. You must be 18 or over to join.

Work went remote. Evenings went quiet. Good Company is for the Saturday that doesn’t start with a scroll.

What makes us different

Plans first. Verified people. Small groups.

Plans first, profiles second

You say yes to a real plan — a place, a time, a thing to do. No swiping, no weeks of small talk.

How it works

Everyone is ID-verified

Government ID plus a live selfie, before anyone can post or join. We keep the result, not copies of your ID or selfie.

How verification works

Small groups, matched by age

Sized for conversation, not crowds. Hosts can approve each request, and can make a plan women-only or men-only.

How we compare

Plans for students

Verify a university email for study groups with your course, society meets and nights out.

For students

How it works

Three steps. No browsing.

1

Post it

Saturday, 9am, Kinder Scout. Ten seconds to put up a plan — a trail or a table for six.

2

Get matched

Verified people nearby, in your age range, are notified automatically, starting with those who share the plan’s interests.

3

Show up

Say yes, join the group chat, sort the logistics — then actually meet, in person.

Plans that actually happen

Fewer no-shows. Fewer empty evenings.

People actually turn up

The day before, everyone confirms with one tap. Can’t make it? Your spot goes straight to the waiting list.

How plans work

Nothing on? Ask for it

Say what you’d go to. When three people nearby want the same thing, you’re all told, so one of you can post it.

Say what you’d go to

Bring a friend

Hosts can let everyone bring one +1. Your friend verifies like everyone else, so the group stays verified.

How +1s work

Ready for the weather

Walks and outdoor sport show the forecast for that place and time, and the host hears early if it looks bad.

What happens if it rains

Trust, built in

Not another bulletin board.

Verified people, not profiles

Government ID and a live selfie for every member. We don’t receive copies of your ID or the selfie.

Safety & verification

Someone knows you got home

Share your live location with up to three trusted contacts while you’re out, until you tap “I’m home safe”.

How live location works

Your data, plainly

Never sold. No ad tracking. Download your data or delete your account from inside the app.

What we collect and why

Why not an event app?

Small groups, matched by age, and you can see who’s going before you go.

How we compare

For families

Know they got home.

Your mum is trying a walking group. Your son is new in town. With the free app you’re their trusted contact: you see where they are while they’re out, and know when they’re home. No ID check needed.

Sponsors

Your name on the plans people go to.

Sponsor one kind of plan in one city, such as sport in Manchester. One brand per slot, clearly labelled, from £249 a month.

How it works

On every plan

“Sponsored · Supported by [your brand]” in the feed and on every plan page.

Your perk, one tap away

A discount code or offer on every sponsored plan, linked to your page.

A report every month

Times seen, perk taps, people who went and what each cost you.

Safety

Built so you can step in with confidence.

Verification lowers risk, it doesn’t remove it. So safety doesn’t stop at the ID check: these tools are in the app from day one.

Verified before they can join

Anyone can look around first, but every member passes a government ID check and a live selfie before they can post or join a plan, see who’s going, or chat. A specialist partner, Stripe, runs the check; we don’t receive copies of your ID or the selfie.

A real face, checked

Everyone adds a photo of themselves before they join or host a plan. An automatic check refuses nudity, anything inappropriate, and pictures with no clear face. Borderline ones are held back until a moderator looks.

Hosts choose how people join

Hosts choose whether to approve each request, seeing the person’s passport first (and, if they like, a quick personality quiz), or let verified members who fit the plan join straight away. Either way, you can see who’s going before you go.

Women-only and men-only plans

Hosts can make a plan women-only or men-only. Only members who told us they are women (or men) can see or join it, and a host can only create one that matches them. If the sex shown on someone’s ID doesn’t match, a person on our team takes a look. It’s optional: most plans stay open to everyone. Your gender isn’t shown to other members.

Your exact spot stays private

The meeting point is only shown to the host and people who’ve been accepted. Everyone else sees the general area, which makes it much harder for a stranger to turn up uninvited.

Safety check-in

Start one when you head out. After the plan should have finished we ask if you’re home safe. If you don’t answer, your trusted contacts are alerted in their app, and if none of them opens the alert within 10 minutes we text your backup number. It isn’t watched by our staff and isn’t an emergency service: in an emergency, call 999.

Questions

Before you go

Where is Good Company available?

We’re opening first in Manchester, Birmingham and London. Starting with a few cities, rather than everywhere at once, means there are enough verified people close by for plans to fill. More UK cities follow, and the waitlist helps us choose which. If you live somewhere else, join it with your town and we’ll email you the day we open near you. You can still download the app, look around, and be someone’s trusted contact from anywhere.

How does verification actually work?

A government ID and a live selfie check, handled by our verification partner before you can post or join anything. We receive the result, a reference number, the date of birth on your ID and the sex shown on it — not copies of your ID or the selfie. Full detail on the Safety page.

What if someone makes me uncomfortable?

Leave any plan whenever you like, no reason needed. Leaving ends your safety check-in for that plan, so let your trusted contact know you’re on your way home. Block anyone in one tap and report them so our team can review it. Several independent reports pause an account while we look into it.

Is it free?

Yes. Free for members. No subscriptions, no paywalls, no card details. Joining and posting plans, the group chat and every safety feature will always be free. We earn from sponsors, corporate partnerships and venue partners, never from selling your data.

All questions

Could be your best friend. Could be your new Sunday walking group. Could just be a great hike.
