How can we
help?

Creating an account takes under two minutes. Set your interests, browse nearby pods, and join or create your first one. There's no feed to scroll and no profile to optimise. Just show up.

Public pods can be joined instantly. Invite-only pods require the host to accept your request, or for you to have a private link. Once you join, you'll get plan details and any updates from the host directly in the app.

Self Mode lets you claim time for things you love and signal to others nearby that you're doing that activity right now. No chat required. Show up and lock in.

You can delete your account at any time from app settings. Your personal data is removed shortly after deletion.

Every account must complete a photo verification step before joining or hosting a pod. We compare a live capture against your profile photo. Accounts that fail verification cannot RSVP.

Use the in-app report button on any user profile, message, or pod. Or contact our safety team directly: [email protected]. All reports are reviewed by a trained human, quickly.

Sharing, creating, or distributing child sexual abuse material is strictly prohibited. Grooming, solicitation, or any sexual content involving individuals under 18 is strictly prohibited. Violations result in immediate account termination, permanent ban, and referral to law enforcement and NCMEC. There are no second chances on this. Contact [email protected] for child safety concerns. If a child is in immediate danger, contact local law enforcement directly.

Pods Offline is the platform; pods are organised by users. We aren't responsible for what happens at a meetup, but we provide the tools (verification, reporting, host controls) that keep the community safe. Attend at your own discretion. Trust your gut. Always meet in public the first time.

The core experience is free. Joining pods, Self Mode, and browsing your city costs nothing.

If you upgrade to a paid plan, you can cancel any time. Access continues until the end of the period you've already paid for. No cancellation fees. Manage subscriptions through your Apple ID or Google Play account.

If you were charged in error, or you contact us within 7 days of your first payment and haven't meaningfully used the paid features, we'll refund you in full. No questions asked.

Some hosts charge attendance fees for their pods. Those transactions are between you and the host (we facilitate via Stripe). If you have a dispute with a host, contact us and we'll do our best to help mediate.
