Make friendship easier to act on.
Everyone is busy. Up n Around is designed to make the small opening visible: a free hour, a nearby friend, a simple plan that does not need to become a production.
About us
Up n Around was created by David Pontes, MD, around a simple idea: social connection is not a luxury. It is one of the most important things people can do to thrive.
Everyone is busy. Up n Around is designed to make the small opening visible: a free hour, a nearby friend, a simple plan that does not need to become a production.
The app is built around low-pressure connection: coffee, walks, food, studying, pickup games, or just being around. Small plans can still matter deeply.
The goal is not more scrolling. It is more real-world time with the people who make life feel grounded, especially when the world feels busy, noisy, and disconnected.
