Small town social

We are the loneliest generation in history. Let's fix that on a Wednesday.

A small group of people from your own town, once a week. When you click with someone, Mayberry helps you keep in touch.

How it works

How a night comes together.

1

Pick a night

Dinner, drinks, or an activity in your region. Always a Wednesday.

2

We build the group

About six people who live near you, put together by hand from what you have told us.

Show up and say hello

Where to go arrives the day before. Who is coming stays private until you get there.

Why this exists

Our screens make us feel connected. We are not.

The U.S. Surgeon General calls loneliness a public health epidemic. One in three adults feels lonely. Isolation carries a 29% higher risk of heart disease and a 32% higher risk of stroke.

You already spend on your body. Your community deserves the same.

What is different

The opposite of a social app.

Your answers do real work

Most apps gather data to hold your attention. We gather it to put you with the right people, so every night makes the next group better.

A friends list that remembers

Everyone you meet can go into a private list: where you met, when you last talked, how often you mean to. If it has been too long, the app nudges you. Nobody else ever sees it.

Made for the suburbs

A region is a few towns you would drive to on a weeknight. Close enough to home that seeing someone again is easy.

Host your own nightsComing

Put your own night on the calendar and open it to the people you have met. It is what we are building next.

Who you are meeting

Strangers to you. Not strangers to us.

Every member is 18 or older and has passed an identity check: a government ID and a selfie, run by Stripe. We never see the documents. Phone numbers and email addresses are verified too.

You can block anyone, whether you met them here or not. They are never told, and never put in a group with you again.

Nights happen in real places we do not run, so read the Terms before you book.

Membership

You pay us to be on your side.

No ads. No algorithm engineered to keep you scrolling. Your membership is our whole business, so our only job is making it worth keeping.

It pays for one thing: booking real nights out with real people. Your profile, friends list and questionnaires are yours either way, and you can cancel from Settings whenever you like.

We'll see you Wednesday.

Mayberry is opening in its first towns now. Write to us if you want to know when it reaches yours.
