🎣 From "You Out" to GeoGather: A New Chapter in Spontaneous Connection

What started as a simple idea — to make meeting up with friends less awkward and more intuitive — has now evolved into something bigger, smarter, and more focused.

We’re excited to announce that You Out App is now officially GeoGather.

Why the change? Because we’re building more than just a social ping app. We're building a real-world connectivity platform — one that knows where you are (with permission), what you’re up to, and who in your circle might want to join you.

🎯 A Clearer Identity with GeoGather

The name “You Out” was playful, but as we spoke with our users — particularly the thousands of passionate UK anglers who first embraced the platform — we realized we needed a name that captured the purpose behind the platform, not just the question.

GeoGather reflects our true ambition:

A location-aware way to bring your people together — wherever, whenever.

🎣 The Fishing Community: Our First Proof Point

GeoGather began by solving a niche, but very real, problem:
How do fishing enthusiasts coordinate spontaneous meetups — when the tide’s right, the fish are biting, and the window is short?

Through our early partnership with the Mullet Club of the UK, we onboarded 28,000+ anglers and built out the features that matter:‍

1. One-tap location sharing

2. Quiet group notifications

3. No group chats. No pressure. Just instant context.

Now, we're scaling that model to other passionate communities who need the same thing.

🔁 From Anglers to Everyone: The Community Flywheel

GeoGather is designed for every tribe that meets in the real world:

1. Dog walking crews

2. Pub groups and mates' nights

3. Uni societies and student circles

4. Rugby teams and Sunday leagues

5. Remote workers looking for spontaneous coffee breaks

If your group meets in real life, GeoGather helps make it happen — without spam, without planning stress.

🚀 What’s Next

With 30,000+ users expected in the next 3 months and in-app referral tools designed to multiply that number, we’re now preparing to open the platform to more verticals, more partners, and more ways to gather.

We’ve also started working with retailers, pubs, bait shops, and cafés, giving them the ability to connect with users at the exact moment they’re nearby — unlocking new kinds of hyperlocal engagement.

👋 From "You Out" to “GeoGather”, the Spirit Remains

Yes, we’ve changed the name. But the soul of the platform remains:

Help people find their people — without effort.

So whether you’re casting a line, grabbing a pint, walking the dog, or running drills with your rugby mates — GeoGather is here to make it easier.

Try it now. Invite your group. And let the moments happen.
