Reasons to keep showing up
I wouldn’t have met the people in my group if it wasn’t through Timeleft. I also like that I can join any week I want without advance planning. Good concept.

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…

There's dinner every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7.30pm, drinks every Thursday at 7.30pm, coffee every Saturday at 1pm, and a run every Saturday at 8am. You can book up to 13 hours before.
At restaurants, bars, and cafés in Ebisu, Shibuya, Marunouchi, and Shinjuku. The app shows the exact venue on the day.
