About Raft Social
The first time you meet someone is easy. Friendship happens the second, third, and fourth time. Raft helps you find real things to do with people nearby—and gives those first meetings somewhere to go. Discover a coffee meetup, pickup game, run, study session, board-game night, or something you haven’t tried before. Show up, meet in person, and let familiar faces become people you genuinely know. Activities on Raft are called Pings: a clear plan, a public place, and a time. Join one nearby or create your own. Make it one-time or recurring. See who’s going, coordinate with the people you’re getting to know, check in when you arrive, and keep in touch afterward. Raft is built for: • Finding local activities worth leaving home for • Meeting people through something you already want to do • Turning recurring activities into familiar faces • Building friendships and groups from real-world contact And language doesn’t have to get in the way. Translate text conversations and follow real-time translated captions during audio and video calls—so meeting someone who speaks another language can be the beginning, not the barrier. Raft is designed for real life, not endless scrolling. There’s no public content feed and no cold messages from strangers. Members verify their identities, activities happen at real public venues, and check-ins, reliability tools, reporting, and blocking help support a safer community. The app is only the starting point. Find a plan. Show up. See where it goes. Terms: https://raft.social/en/terms Privacy Policy: https://raft.social/en/privacy EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
