Friends talking around a café table at golden hour, the city outside the window

Everyone means it when they say“we should hang out sometime”.

Sometime never comes, because someone has to go first — and asking a group chat is a public risk. Bask flips it: you post a plan with the place and time already picked, and people quietly ask for a seat. Nobody has to stick their neck out.

Someone just asked for a seat — only the host sees who

The group chat where nobody ever makes a plan

You know the one. Forty people who genuinely like each other, an occasional “we should do something soon”, and months between anyone actually booking a table.

It isn't apathy. Typing “anyone free tonight?” in front of forty people means that if nobody answers, everyone watches you get left on read.

In the group chat

  • Ask in front of forty people
  • No replies — and everyone saw
  • You don't ask again
  • The same two people plan everything

On Bask

  • Post a plan: place, time, seats
  • People ask for a seat, privately
  • If nobody does, only you know
  • Seats fill, you go

Three steps, thirty seconds

  1. 01

    Pick the place before you ask

    Search real venues on the map, set a date and time, choose a table for 2 or 4. Booking the place first is the whole signal — it's a plan, not “sometime”.

  2. 02

    People ask for a seat, quietly

    Requests go to the host and nobody else. Open someone's profile to see what they've hosted and joined before you say yes.

  3. 03

    Sort the details in the group chat

    Everyone going lands in one thread: who's there, running ten late, let's move to the back room. An hour before, Bask asks once if you're still coming and reopens your seat if you're not.

What's on near you tonight

Open the app and the closest plans are already there. Your city is detected for you — and when you land somewhere else, so is that one.

Taipei first, then your city

The city list is built, but we're making one city work — people actually going out every week — before we open the rest.
