Reasons to keep showing up

  • We were the first group in KL Malaysia and I was so impressed with the ease of the app and the caliber of the people I met. I was afraid it would be like other mixer events where it's either people giving business pitches or looking for a date. Instead it was a genuine group of interesting people looking to socialize and meet other interesting people.

  • I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app, but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more…

Questions about making friends in Kuala Lumpur

How can I make friends in Kuala Lumpur?
Timeleft matches you with a small group of people for dinner or drinks in Kuala Lumpur, based on your interests, personality and language. You sign up on your own, we choose the venue and the group, and before the event, the app tells you where to go.
When are Timeleft events in Kuala Lumpur?
Timeleft runs dinners on Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30 pm and drinks on Thursdays at 7:30 pm. There are also women-only dinners on Mondays at 7:00 pm. Bookings close 13 hours before each event starts, or at midnight the night before if that would fall between midnight and 8:00 am.
Where in Kuala Lumpur do they happen?
At restaurants and bars across Kuala Lumpur. The app shows the exact venue before the event.
How much does Timeleft cost in Kuala Lumpur?
To book, you need a Timeleft subscription. It covers every event you book while it's active, and food and drinks are paid separately at the venue. Prices depend on the plan you pick, and the app shows them before you pay.
Can I go on my own?
Yes. You book on your own and we put the group together, so you don't need to bring anyone. If you'd rather come with someone, invite them from your booking and you'll be in the same group. They don't need a membership for that event if it's their first Timeleft booking. The guide to your first dinner walks through booking step by step.
Is it safe to meet strangers in Kuala Lumpur?
Every event is at a public venue we've vetted, and there's no one-to-one messaging before you meet the group. 99% of Timeleft events happen without any safety incident. If you report someone, you're never put in the same group as them again. Our safety guidelines cover the rest.
Is Timeleft in Kuala Lumpur for people in their 20s, 30s, or 40s?
Yes. Timeleft is for adults of every age. When we put a group together, we look at age along with your personality quiz and booking preferences. Who you meet still depends on who books the same event.
Is Timeleft a dating app?
No. There are no profiles to swipe through, and nobody gets paired off. You meet a small group of people at once, in person.
How is Timeleft different from Meetup?
Meetup lists groups and events run by their own organizers, and you choose which to join. With Timeleft, you pick a format and a day, and we match you with a small group and choose the venue. Our Timeleft vs Meetup comparison goes into more detail.
What if I'm vegetarian or vegan, or have an allergy?
Pick a dietary preference in the app when you book, and we'll do our best to seat you at a venue that caters to it. Most restaurants we use in Kuala Lumpur have vegetarian dishes, and some have vegan ones too. For allergies, check with the venue on the day.
