Bunchups

Small Scale Gathering.

26/05/2026

There’s someone nearby who loves what you love.
Someone who wants to play tennis on a Sunday morning.
Someone looking for a walking buddy after work.
Someone who’s been meaning to try yoga, join a chess game, or simply meet more good people.

The strange part is:
we’re probably closer to like-minded people than ever before…
but adulthood gives us very few ways to actually meet them.

That’s why we built Bunchups. 💜
An app designed to help people connect through shared interests and real-life catch-ups.

No awkward networking.
No endless swiping.
Just real people, nearby, doing more of what they love together.
Because friendship doesn’t always start with deep conversation.

Sometimes it starts with:
“Wait… you’re into that too?”
👉 What’s one thing you’d love to find your people for?

Nobody warned us friendships had an expiry date.

School handed them to us. Uni kept them topped up. First jobs filled the gaps. Then somewhere in your late 20s, someone moved. Someone had a kid. Someone got a mortgage in a suburb you've never been to.

And the group chat went quiet. Not because anyone stopped caring, because life got crowded.

Here's the part nobody says out loud: most adults aren't lonely because they lack friends. They're lonely because there's no easy way to actually see them.

It's not a friendship problem. It's a logistics problem.

That's why we built Bunchups. Small, in-person catch-ups with people who actually show up. No swiping. No algorithm games. Just real humans, shared interests, and a reason to leave the house.

If your group chat has been "we should catch up soon" for six months - this is your sign. 💜
👉 Tag the friend you keep meaning to see.

Turns out “busy” wasn’t the problem… 👀
It was just the plans that never happened.
This is your sign to stop almost catching up - and actually do it.
Real people. Real plans. No more “soon.” ✨

Something we've been quietly working on is now live 💜
Introducing Bunchups for Communities — a dedicated, branded portal that lets clubs, groups, and organisations bring all their member gatherings into one beautifully simple space.
Think of it as your community's own private version of Bunchups. Your logo. Your colours. Your members.
Built for: ⚽ Sports clubs 🎭 Cultural and religious communities 🎓 Schools, universities, and alumni networks 🏢 Workplaces and team social committees 🎨 Hobby groups of every kind
A few organisations are already getting set up, and we're opening it up more broadly now.
If you (or someone you know) runs a community and would love something like this, we'd love to chat. 🔗 [Book a quick demo] in the link below.

Real talk: meeting new people only works when they're actually your people.
That's why we've just rolled out personal match preferences on Bunchups 💜
Now you can set: 👤 Preferred age group 👤 Preferred gender 🗣️ Languages spoken
…and you'll only be notified about bunchups that match. No more scrolling past activities that aren't a fit.
And if you're hosting a bunchup? You can set the same preferences on your listing, so only the right people nearby get notified to join.
It's the small thing that changes everything. Open the app, set your prefs, and let the right people find you.

We've been busy. Really busy. And today we're so excited to share the biggest Bunchups update yet 💜
Here's what's new:
🔔 Push notifications — get notified the moment a new bunchup pops up in your neighbourhood 🎯 Saved searches — tell us what you're into and where, and we'll ping you when something matches 👥 Personal preferences — set your preferred age group, gender, and languages spoken, and only get notified about bunchups that match 📅 Availability sharing — when joining flexible activities, send a few time slots that work for you. No more endless messaging back and forth.
Two things to do: ✅ Update your app to the latest version ✅ Open Bunchups and set your preferences (takes about a minute)
That's it. You're set up for smarter, better-matched bunchups.
