Machiwa

Machiwa is a community app for finding local circles built around shared interests and managing everything from join requests to event-day activities in one place. KEY FEATURES - Discover circles and events by area, category, or date - Apply to join circles and manage members - Use member-only boards and circle chats - Join events, use waitlists, and access QR tickets - Share seating plans, random draws, polls, and event photos - Manage profiles, saved items, and notifications - List used items and arrange hand-overs with people nearby (payment is between the people trading, outside the app) Organizers can create circles, review join requests, schedule events, and manage attendance, check-in, and seating. Participants can view the same information from their phones and stay connected throughout the event. Machiwa supports content reporting, user blocking, account deletion, moderation, and visibility-based access controls to help create safer local communities. WHAT IS NEW - Search circles and events by distance from your current location (5 km to 100 km, or worldwide) instead of by prefecture - Create a circle anywhere in the world, setting its area by address search or your current location - The interface follows your device language across English, Japanese and Korean, and can be changed inside the app
