Full description

Butter is where plans happen — with people who actually show up. Your friends are busy, flaky, or just not into hot yoga at 7am on a Tuesday. We get it. Butter connects you with people nearby who are already planning the things you want to do — from supper clubs to morning hikes to that niche film screening nobody in your group chat cares about. How it works: Discover: Explore clubs, plans and ideas happening around you. A feed for your social life, curated by real people. Join: Something catch your eye? Request a spot, or save it for when the mood strikes. Host: Have a thing? Post it and make it happen. The right people come to you. Chat: Get to know everyone before you show up — no walking in cold. Why it works: You stop waiting on your group chat. No more "who's in?" followed by silence. On Butter, people are already interested — that's why they're here. It's smaller and more intentional than anything you've tried, and nobody's standing around in a circle wearing name tags. These are the plans you'd make with friends — with people you haven't met yet. Los Angeles: doors open July. Join the waitlist and race your neighborhood open. Melbourne & Sydney: live now.

What's new

We’ve made joining and hosting plans easier, with more payment options, clearer host tools and bug fixes across Butter.
