Golden hour in Chicago is on its way.

Plans in Chicago

Pick the Plans you’d join.

Plans are how members meet in person. Choose Chicago in the app and pick the ones you’d say yes to. Picking books nothing and sets no date: it tells us what people here want to do.

  1. Get the app and choose Chicago

    Download KF.Social, then choose Chicago as your city.

  2. Pick the Plans you’d join

    Choose the activities you’d say yes to. It books nothing.

  3. Connect online in the meantime

    Meet people on KF.Social, join clubs around shared interests and start a conversation.

  4. See each Plan before you join

    When a Plan opens in Chicago, the app shows what it is, when and where, and its price before you book.

Conversation starters

Never open with "so, what do you do?"

Every friendship starts with a first question. Draw a card and try it the next time you meet someone new.

Find a crew at your pace

CARA Run Crews welcome runners and walkers, with a free Friend-level membership route. Check the chosen crew’s meeting point, pace options and sign-up instructions. A regular local session is more useful than a citywide promise that every run is nearby.
