what it is

Say where
you’ll be.

Make a plan. Drop the link. See who's in.

WYA, mn? — written WYAMN when you can’t be bothered with the punctuation — is a social app for spontaneous plans. You say what you’re doing, where, and when. You get one link. You post that link wherever your friends already are, and whoever’s free taps once to say they’re in.

That’s the whole product. There is no feed to scroll, no invite list to build, no event page to fill in. Making a plan takes about nine seconds because there are four fields and none of them is a description.

The problem it’s actually solving

You already know who you’d ask. That was never the hard part. The hard part is asking.

Texting six people “you free tonight?” costs something. Every message is a small request for a favour, and every “sorry, can’t” is a small rejection. After the third one you stop asking and you stay in. Nobody wants to be the person who organised a thing nobody came to, so most nights nobody organises anything.

The trick is to stop asking who’s free and start saying where you’ll be.

A plan on WYA, mn? is not a question. It’s a statement with a door in it. You were going to that place anyway. Now the people who happen to be free can find out, and the ones who aren’t never have to say no to your face — they just don’t tap. The social cost of the whole exchange drops to roughly zero, which is the only reason any of this works.

How the link works

The link is the product. When you paste it into an Instagram Story, a Snapchat chat, a WhatsApp group, a post on X or Threads, or a Reddit comment, it unfurls into a card showing the plan: what it is, where, the time on the clock at the place it’s happening, and how many spots are left. People can read the plan without tapping, and tapping takes them to a page where one button says they’re in.

For Stories, where a link preview isn’t how anything works, WYA, mn? generates a proper 1080×1920 image of your plan that you can post directly, with a QR code on it for the people who won’t tap a link sticker. You still post it yourself — no website is allowed to publish to your Story on your behalf, and any product that says otherwise is describing something it can’t do.

Who it’s for

People who want to go out more than they actually do. Specifically: people who are perfectly capable of deciding to get coffee, and who will nonetheless not send the message that makes it happen.

It works best in a group of people who already know each other — a friend group, a course, a team, a house. It is not a way to meet strangers, and it isn’t trying to be. If you make a plan public it goes on the board, which anyone can see, but the default is link-only: it exists for the people you send it to.

What it isn’t

It is not an events platform. There are no tickets, no RSVP deadlines, no attendee management, no recurring series, no venue listings, no organiser dashboard to keep current. A plan is closer to a text message than to an event: it’s for tonight or Thursday, it holds between two and fifty people, and when it’s over it’s over.

If you’re running a monthly meetup for forty strangers, use something built for that. If you want to go for ramen and can’t face the group chat, this is the thing.

Cost, accounts, and what we keep

  • It’s free. No ads, no paid tier, nothing to unlock.
  • You don’t need an account to look at a plan. Only to say you’re coming.
  • Signing up asks for four things — a name, a username, an email and a password. No phone number, no contact upload, no address book access.
  • Plans aren’t indexed unless you make them public. A link-only plan is excluded from search engines and from our sitemap.

Where it works

Anywhere, from a browser — there’s nothing to install. Times are stored as the moment you meant and always shown on the clock at the place the plan is happening, so “8pm” in Bengaluru reads as 8pm to everyone looking at it, not as 2:30pm.

The interface is in English, with 日本語 for the pages that explain it. It’s being built in the open and it’s new — if the board is quiet where you are, that’s because you’re early, and the first plan in a city is usually the one that starts it.

and no, we’re not going to tell you what the mn is.
