Features.
Bean is more than an app — it’s a toolkit for building real-world friendships. Whether you’re joining your first event or organizing your own, every feature is designed to help you connect more intentionally.
Profiles.
Your profile isn’t just a picture and a tagline — it’s a reflection of who you really are. Share your interests, values, favorite icebreakers, ideal weekend plans, and even what you’re listening to on Spotify or which podcasts inspire you. The more you express, the easier it is for others to connect with the real you.
Smart Search & Matching.
Looking for someone you really vibe with? Our smart filters let you explore by age, location, religion, ethnicity, interests, Spotify artists, favorite podcasts, and even profile keywords. Whether you're seeking like-minded connections or curious conversations, Bean makes meaningful discovery intuitive and pressure-free — no swiping required.
Events That Fit You.
Find events that align with your energy — whether that’s a low-key dinner party, a niche meetup, a creative jam, or a thoughtful panel. Bean brings together happenings hosted by us, trusted community organisers, or curated from platforms like Dice and Eventbrite — all with connection at the core.
Group Chats.
Every event has its own group chat, making it easy to connect before, during, and after. Say hi, coordinate plans, or share photos — without needing to exchange phone numbers. It’s opt-in, casual, and designed to make showing up feel a little more familiar.
Incognito.
Sometimes you just want to be offline. With Incognito Mode, you can hide your profile from search, matching, and suggestions while staying in the loop behind the scenes. Flip it off whenever you’re ready to rejoin the conversation — no pressure, no explanation needed.
Privacy & Safety.
We take your safety seriously. Block or report users, hide your profile from certain genders, and manage how (and if) you show up in the app. Bean is designed to be a respectful, inclusive, and secure space for everyone — and we’re constantly evolving to keep it that way.
Video Calling (Coming Soon).
Soon, you’ll be able to connect face-to-face — virtually. Our upcoming video chat feature will allow mutuals and group attendees to start secure, one-on-one or group video calls. Always opt-in, always on your terms, and built with comfort and safety in mind.
Submit Events.
Not an organiser? No problem. If you know about an event your community would love, just drop us the link. We’ll review it, reach out to the host, and if it aligns with Bean’s vibe, we’ll add it to the app — with credit where it’s due. Community-powered discovery, made easy.
Organiser Tools.
Whether you're a seasoned organiser or hosting for the first time, Bean has your back. Create listings manually or import from platforms like Dice, Eventbrite, or Luma. Track RSVPs, manage conversations, and get insights into who’s coming — all from one simple dashboard.
And Many More
Bean is a living product — shaped by feedback, community input, and constant iteration. As a solo founder, I’m building out in the open and releasing features often. Got an idea or something you wish existed? Reach out anytime at [email protected].
