  1. When you book

    Pick a day

    Choose your city, a date, and the language you'd like to speak. Booking closes 13 hours before, or at midnight the night before if that would fall between midnight and 8:00 am.

  2. Before the coffee

    We put the group together

    A small group, chosen from your quiz answers, age band, and language, at a café we pick. The app shows where to go and a bit about who's coming.

  3. 1:00 pm The start

    Coffee in daylight

    You meet a few people around one café table. It's an easy way to see what Timeleft is like before you sit down to a whole dinner.

  4. Afterward

    Keep in touch

    The group chat stays open, so you can make plans with anyone you got along with.

Safety

Is it safe?

Every event is at a public venue we've vetted, and there's no one-to-one messaging before you meet. If you report someone, you're never placed with them again.

99%

Over 99% of Timeleft experiences happen without any safety incident, according to the safety framework we published in June 2026.

  • I Had a great time at this event. If you’ve never been, it’s definitely worth heading to. Went to the one in Melbourne CBD.

  • 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…

  • I am so happy to have found Timeleft. It has got me out of the house and meeting new people every week. I have made some wonderful connections with some new friends.
