Gather: Queer Friends & Events

About this app

Find your queer community offline — no swiping, no dating, just real friends. Gather is the app for LGBTQ+ people who want something more than bars and dating apps. Meet queer people nearby who you genuinely vibe with, through spontaneous hangouts and everyday shared experiences. FIND WHAT'S HAPPENING NEAR YOU Discover queer-hosted gatherings on the map — beach walks, dinners, workouts, movie nights, coworking, and more. See what queer locals are doing today and join in. CREATE A HANGOUT IN SECONDS Set a time and place, and your event appears on the map. Hosting has never been simpler. Share to anyone — inside or outside Gather. BUILD YOUR CIRCLES Organise your connections by activity — your hiking crew, your dinner friends, your coworking regulars. Grow real community through small, everyday moments. CHAT BEFORE YOU GO Direct messaging lets you safely vet people before joining a gathering. Meet with confidence and without pressure. NEVER MISS A HANGOUT Add gatherings to your calendar and get only the notifications that matter to you. Manage your settings so Gather works for your life. INCLUSIVE BY DESIGN Gather is for every queer identity — gay, lesbian, trans, non-binary, bi, pansexual, questioning, and allies. Guided by kindness, authenticity, and shared ownership. WHY GATHER EXISTS For so many queer people, finding community beyond bars and dating apps is genuinely hard. We crave belonging — real friends, shared experiences, a sense of home. Gather was built for queer life beyond nightlife. Whether you're new in town, recently out, or simply ready for something more meaningful — this is your space. Join thousands of queer people building community IRL. Download Gather today. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
