About Circles — Who's Out
Circles is the easygoing way to know which friends are out — and to let yours know you've arrived, with a single tap. Save your regular spots — your café, your gym, the bar down the road — and the moment you arrive, Circles nudges you to check in. One tap and your circle sees you're out. No posting, no "I'm here!" texts, no fuss. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • One-tap check-ins — arrive, get a nudge, tap once. Done. • Plan ahead — say "I'll be at the bar at 8" and friends can join. • See who's out right now — a live view of which friends are where. • Invite-only circles — you choose exactly who can see you. No link, no entry. • The Veil — one tap and you vanish from everyone, instantly. • No account, ever — your identity is your iCloud, kept private by Apple. MADE FOR GETTING TOGETHER Summer 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest season of going out in years. When the big matches are on, bars, cafés and public squares fill up with friends. Circles makes the spontaneous meet-up effortless: open the app, see who's already out, and go join them. PRIVACY FIRST • No sign-up, no email, no phone number. • Friends only ever see the venue you're at — never a live map of you. • Only people in a circle with you can see anything at all. • Leave a circle and you instantly vanish from it. • Your data lives in your own iCloud via Apple CloudKit. There are no ads, no third-party trackers, and no servers of ours following you around. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a few favourite venues. 2. Pick who's in your circle — invite by link, accept by link. 3. Show up. Your people just know. Save your circles. Show up. That's the whole app.
What’s new
Version 1.0.6 · Updated September 1, 2026
Fixed: leaving a circle now sticks. A circle you left could come back on your board a few seconds later. Leaving also clears your check-in and your plans in that circle, so you don't stay visible to people you've left.
