A redesigned Timeleft app
Version 4.0 redesigned the whole app, with new Home, Chat, Events, and Profile tabs.
Nothing of that kind yet.
How we got here
Timeleft began with dinners for small groups of strangers, with Wednesday as the main night. In 2024 the app added a chat with the people you'd met and the option to reschedule instead of canceling (both March), and was rebuilt in November. In 2025 members could invite their connections to an event (worldwide from February), women-only dinners started on Tuesdays (March), Drinks arrived in Paris, Madrid, New Delhi, and Tokyo (May) and spread to more than 30 cities, and members could bring a friend who isn't on Timeleft (worldwide from July). For how booking, membership, and safety work today, see How Timeleft works and the FAQ.
