No One to Go With This Weekend?
The biggest reason weekend plans fall apart in Karachi isn't a lack of things to do — it's that no one in the group chat commits. Padel needs four players. Board games need at least three. And going to a workshop alone can feel awkward.
That's why we built WithMe. Post a Vibe like "Bowling in Clifton on Saturday at 8 PM, need 2 more", and verified locals who want the same plan can join you. No swiping, no dating-app energy — just people who want to do the same thing at the same time.
