Mechanisms for warmer
IRL friendships
Stay close with the people who matter most with Melt, an app that helps friends strengthen bonds through smarter scheduling and shared interests.
How often do you say “We should hang out sometime!” (and mean it!) but never follow through? It’s because you have too much going on and can’t rely on good intentions to make sure you’re spending time with friends. This is leading to the loneliness epidemic, which medical experts say has a similar impact to your health as smoking 15 cigarettes per day.
Melt makes hanging out easy. It’s not another social media app. It’s a simple interface that allows you to keep track of the friendships that mean the most to you (and to nudge you when the crickets start chirping).
Warm up with what Melt has to offer
-
Reminders
Melt lets you keep track of how often you hang out with friends and get reminded when too much time has passed.
-
Easy scheduling
No more massive text chains back and forth trying to find time. Melt has simple calendar tools that don’t feel like you’re at work.
-
Hang out ideas
Tired of the “I dunno, where do you want to go?” back and forths? Melt helps prioritize ideas and generates recommendations.
-
Shared interests
Melt sparks ideas for more novel time together based on your unique friendships, which friendship experts say is key to lasting memories and stronger bonds.
LMK when beta launches
An early access version of Melt is coming in early 2026.
Melt was founded by Sarah Funk, a product leader with 17+ years of experience creating technology used by millions of people worldwide. The idea for Melt was sparked by an Andrea Gibson poem and a belief that technology can bring people closer, not pull them apart.
