Small-group plans · San Francisco
Make real plans, meet in groups of a few, and keep seeing the people you click with. Covey turns one good night into a habit.
About 50 hours together turns someone you've met into a casual friend.1 One good night covers three. The rest comes from showing up again.

How Covey works
Browse small plans around the city — a run then coffee, a ramen crawl, a sunset walk — or post your own in a few taps. You see exactly where, when, and who's going.
Hosts set the headcount, six by default, so everyone actually talks. Open plans take one tap; request-to-join plans go to the host first.
When a group clicks, make it a Covey: a standing group with a recurring plan, so the second hangout doesn't depend on someone remembering to ask.
