After work, someone drops a message in the group chat.
“Down for dinner this week?”
Then the familiar dance begins.
Throwing out dates. Waiting for replies. Finding a place.
Checking availability. Sharing the link.
Let's be honest — it's not that painful.
We've always done it this way, and we do end up meeting.
And when we meet, it's great.
We eat, we laugh, we take photos.
Right before leaving, someone says,
“AirDrop me.”
Photos fly between phones.
No one's posting them anywhere. No one needs to.
They're just ours.
But here's a question.
Do you remember who you had dinner with three months ago?
You could probably dig through your chat history and find out.
But you won't — because nobody does that.
And that feels normal. Meetups are just like that, right?
You meet, you scatter, you forget.
We thought so too. At first.
Then we noticed something odd.
Nobody thinks that way about work.
Think about it.
Most of what we do at work is just… meeting people and talking.
We schedule, we discuss, we take notes, we follow up.
And for that, we have an entire ecosystem.
Calendars. Notion. Slack. Zoom.
Work meetings have structure.
Who was there. What was discussed. When's the next one.
It all stacks up naturally — searchable, connected, continuous.
But what about the dinners with people you actually like?
Buried in a group chat.
Photos scattered across everyone's camera rolls.
When and where you met? That lives only in your memory.
Doesn't that seem backwards?
The relationships that matter most
are the ones with the least structure around them.
That's the question we started with.
The problem isn't that group chats aren't good enough.
It's that there's no single layer that ties the whole experience of a meetup together.
The back-and-forth of scheduling.
The photos and moments from being there.
The simple fact of who you've been spending time with.
When these things live in separate places,
each piece feels fine on its own — but the whole picture disappears.
So we built truloop.
truloop is an app designed around meetups.
We don't ask you to create content.
We don't ask you to document anything.
Instead, we follow the way meetups naturally happen.
Before you meet
AI-powered scheduling collects everyone's availability and connects you to reservations in one smooth flow. Ten messages in a group chat, replaced by one.
During and after
Photos and moments are grouped by meetup. They live in a space only the people who were there can see. As light as AirDrop — but nothing gets lost.
Over time
Who you met, when, and where quietly stacks up. No digging required. It's just there when you look.
Less hassle. Closer together.
The people you eat with.
The people you text on weekends.
The people you see for no particular reason.
Those are the relationships that shape who you are.
truloop is a space where those relationships
stay a little easier to keep up
and a little harder to forget.
So “let's hang out soon” finally means something.
