About MeUp

Connect Through Real Events

MeUp is a social app designed for real-world connections. We believe that the best experiences happen when people come together in person, and our mission is to make organizing and discovering social events as easy as possible.

Our Story

In a world where social media often keeps us apart, MeUp brings people together. We created this app to solve a simple problem: coordinating social gatherings with friends shouldn't be complicated. From casual hangouts to organized gatherings, MeUp makes it easy to create events, share them with the right people, and bring your community together.

What Makes MeUp Different

Real-Time Everything: Events update automatically when details change. No more confusion about time changes or location updates - everyone sees changes instantly.

Flexible Privacy: Create public events for all your followers or private events for specific groups. You control who sees what.

Built for Communities: Organize friends into custom groups - book clubs, sports teams, study groups, or any community you're part of. Each group can have its own events and feeds.

Location-First: Every event can have a location with interactive maps powered by Apple MapKit. Find venues easily with real-time search and help attendees navigate to your event.

Built with Modern Technology

MeUp is built with the latest technologies for iOS and web. We follow best practices for maintainability and testability. Our backend is powered by Firebase, providing real-time updates, cloud storage, authentication, and push notifications.

Performance is a priority. We implement smart caching, pagination, and efficient database listeners to reduce data usage and provide a fast, smooth experience. Real-time feed updates are more efficient than manual refreshing when multiple users view the same events.

Privacy & Safety

Your safety is important to us. MeUp includes comprehensive privacy controls including private accounts, user blocking, content reporting, and secure authentication. You control who can see your events and interact with your content.
