Broadcast your plans to friends so spontaneous hangouts actually happen.

Beckon is the easiest way to turn free time into a hangout. Tell your friends what you’re doing and when, and anyone who’s interested taps in. No back-and-forth, no over-planning. Just an open invite and the friends who are free enough to show up.

The idea

Not every hangout deserves formal invitations.

You are going somewhere, doing something anyway, but would love company if they are free. Send a Beckon and see who shows up.

Say what you’re doing

Declare your Beckon, a movie about a scary backroom, themed drink at a bar or a walk through a dangerous neighborhood. Whatever your weird friend group enjoys.

Choose who and when

You control who sees your Beckon, set up groups of friends, secret groups of real friends excluding that weird guy that keeps hitting on old women.

Someone answers

Hopefully someone will show up, but if they don’t, it’s okay because it’s spontaneous. No one gets their feelings hurt.

The Beckon conch: a spiral shell with two eyestalks
Why a conch

Come out of your shell.

Meet Becky the socially awkward conch. She is finally coming out of her shell to make bad decisions with a group of friends that will hopefully not end her day in prison.

Becky beckons boldly by becoming a badass b*tch beckoning badass bedfellows.

Beckon your friends now.

Free on iPhone and Android. Bring two friends — it doesn’t work without them, and that’s rather the point.
