How Rally works: an app to meet people nearby
Rally is a live, privacy-first map of who's out around you. See friends nearby, find popular bars and events within 20 miles, say you're going, and message the people you connect with. Most apps to meet people hand you a stack of profiles and hope for the best. Rally starts with a live map instead: you see who is actually out near you right now, and which bars and events people are heading to tonight. It works for making friends, finding your group, or dating — and you can try it without creating an account.
- 1
Open the map
Log in, or tap “Use without an account” to jump straight in. The map shows Rally members who have been active in the last 12 hours, anywhere in the world.

Your location stays fuzzy
Rally never plots your exact position. Everyone sees a random point inside roughly a one-mile circle around you, and that point only shifts every few minutes.
- 3
See what's on tonight
Rally pulls the popular bars and venues within 20 miles of wherever you actually are, so the events list is real and local — in Dewey Beach, Oxford, Wilmington, or anywhere else.

Say you're going
Add the places you're heading to tonight. Other members can see the live headcount, and you're checked in automatically when you arrive.
- 5
Connect, then chat
Tap someone's circle to see their profile and send a request. They accept or decline — you only appear in each other's Friends list once it's accepted. Then you can message.
Free and Premium
Free members get the map, the events list, connection requests, and 10 messages a week. Rally Premium is $7.99 a week and adds unlimited messaging plus the full guest list for every event near you.
