Plan outings with friends, as easily as you want to go out
The sun is out, you have an hour to spare, and a drink on a terrace sounds perfect. With Chenda you suggest it to your friends in seconds and instantly see who's in. No endless messages, just the urge to get together.
The best outings are often spontaneous
Drinks decided at 5 pm, a pizza because nobody feels like cooking, a walk by the lake on a Sunday morning… These moments start with a sudden urge, and often fall through because organising takes longer than going: messaging everyone, waiting for replies, counting who's coming.
Chenda is made for those moments. You share an idea, your friends get a notification, they answer with a tap, and you meet up. And when you need to plan ahead, Chenda also finds the date that suits everyone.
Spontaneous when you want, organised when you need
Quick drinks
Two taps: drinks in 5 minutes, where you are, for a group or all your contacts.
What, where, when
In quick mode, enter the essentials and go. The place opens on the map and everyone can add the outing to their calendar.
A poll when you must choose
Weekend, birthday, game night: suggest dates or places, friends vote, you decide.
Your groups
Football mates, family, colleagues: create groups once and reuse them for every outing.
Talk it over
Each outing has its own comments and reactions: who brings what, when to meet.
Nobody forgets
People who signed up get a reminder. See who's coming, who's a maybe, and how many places are left.
Outing ideas to suggest to your friends
After work
Drinks on a terrace, bowling, karaoke, a match to watch together.
At the weekend
Brunch, hiking, swimming, the market, cycling, a day in the snow or a weekend in a cabin.
At home
Board game night, raclette or fondue, homemade pizza, a film or series together.
To get moving
Thursday football, a run, padel, climbing, or a walk after lunch.
Plan an outing in 4 steps
- Suggest the outing: tap “+”, then “Create an event” or quick drinks. Say what, where and when.
- Choose who to invite: a group, all your contacts, or a link to share, even with friends who don't use Chenda yet.
- See who's in: friends sign up or answer “Maybe”, and you sort out the details in the comments.
- Meet up: a reminder arrives beforehand and the place opens on the map. Just enjoy.
Friendly, and respectful of your privacy
Chenda is designed for outings with people you know: only the people you invite see your outing, unless you choose to make it public. Your phone number is never required, friends find you by username, and you choose what others see of your profile.

Frequently asked questions
How do I suggest drinks at the last minute?
With Chenda quick drinks: two taps are enough. The drinks are set 5 minutes from now, where you are, for a group or all your contacts.

No. On Chenda, your friend groups work for all your outings, without sharing your phone number. Replies and comments stay attached to each outing.
How do we pick a date that suits everyone?
Create a poll with several dates (and places if needed); friends give their availability, then you set the date and available people are signed up automatically.
Do my friends need Chenda?
To use groups and notifications, yes, and it is free. You can also share a public link: with the guest option, people can sign up with just their name.
Is Chenda free?
Yes, suggesting outings, signing up, voting and commenting are free.
