Up Offline Social – Real-time presence layer for connecting in public spaces

Summary: Up Offline Social enables users to signal their availability for social interaction in real time at cafés, gyms, campuses, and other public spaces. It provides status updates, a live map of nearby presence pings, and voice-based chat features to facilitate spontaneous connections while prioritizing user safety.

What it does

Users set a status with their current vibe (e.g., coffee, co-work, quick chat) and see presence pings of others nearby on a live map. The app includes smart discovery with filters and notifications, voice notes and GIF-based chat, and safety features like a one-tap SOS button and granular privacy controls.

Who it's for

It is designed for people seeking real-time, in-person social connections in public venues without relying on traditional texting or social media.

Why it matters

Up Offline Social addresses social isolation by enabling spontaneous, low-pressure interactions in physical spaces where people are often present but disconnected.
