  1. When you book

    Pick a day

    Pick a date for a women-only dinner and the language you'd like to speak. Booking stays open until 13 hours before.

  2. Before the dinner

    We put the table together

    Four to six women, chosen from your quiz answers, age band and language, at a restaurant we book. You can invite women you've met at Timeleft, and new faces fill the other seats.

  3. 7:30 pm The start

    Sit down

    Every guest at the table identifies as a woman. There's an icebreaker game in the app if your table wants a starting point.

  4. 10:30 pm About three hours later

    Keep in touch

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

Safety

What if someone makes me uncomfortable?

Report them in the app, and you'll never be placed with them again. Every dinner is at a public restaurant we've vetted.

99%

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

  • 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…

  • 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.
