FROM THE FOUNDER

Built for what's outside.

I started Michi in Montreal, after one too many weekends where everyone I knew was "around" and nobody was actually anywhere. Every app on my phone was built to keep me looking at it, so we made one that gets you out the door instead. You open Michi, find a basketball run nearby or tennis on Thursday, and close it. The less time you spend in the app, the better it's doing its job.

FAQ

Before you ask.

Michi shows you what's happening near you: real plans, posted by real people, close enough to actually go. Think pickup basketball or a day at the lake. There's no feed to scroll and no follower counts, just what's on around you.

Download Michi from the App Store or Play Store and sign in with your Google or Apple account. Pick a few interests, tell us when in the week you're usually free, and you're in.

Nothing. Michi is free, has no ads, and doesn't sell your data.

We're rolling out city by city. Open the app to see if your area is live, or join the waitlist for it. New cities open every month.

Yes. Michi is 18+.

You don't need them to be. Michi is built for meeting the people who show up to the same thing you do. Bring a friend along if you want, but you can start alone tonight.
