Los Angeles Beta · 18+
What BRUH does today
BRUH is a strictly platonic friendship and community app for adults 18 and over, in beta in Los Angeles. Everything in this first list works right now. Anything still in testing is marked coming soon and never promised.
Live now
Free for every member
Discovery, messaging, the Local Board, group spaces, events and the calendar are all free — no card needed.
A profile that sounds like you
Photos, a short bio, your interests and “Looking for” badges so people know what kind of hangout you actually want. Strictly platonic — BRUH is not a dating app.
Approximate nearby discovery
Browse adults and communities near you on a map and in lists. Your pin is always placed in a randomized approximate area, distances show as coarse ranges, and you can hide your location entirely.
Unlimited messaging
Start as many conversations as you want and reply as much as you want. Messaging is free for every member.
The Local Board
A public board for your city: browse posts, post your own with photos, and reply. Free to read, post and reply.
Group, community and organization spaces
Private spaces with a members-only board, chat, invites and permissions. Free during the Los Angeles beta.
Events, RSVPs and a shared calendar
Create or join local meetups, RSVP, and keep everything in one calendar you can import and export as .ics.
Reporting and blocking on everything
Every profile, post, message and meetup has Report and Block. Blocking is two-way, and reporters are never revealed to the person they reported.
Scam Shield and Public Profile Check
Two free lifetime checks each to sanity-check a suspicious message or profile before you meet anyone.
Coming Soon
Not available yet
We would rather under-promise. These are being tested on physical devices and are switched off until they pass.
We're finishing device testing for camera and microphone access before opening Rooms up.
Coming Soon
Calling is not available yet. We will not switch it on until camera and microphone access is verified on real devices.
Coming Soon
Privacy and safety
Approximate by design
Your exact location, address and precise distance are never sent to anyone. Choose Hidden, Neighborhood or Wider area in Settings at any time.
BRUH does not run government-ID checks, biometric age estimation or background checks, so never assume another member has been verified. Read our Community Guidelines, 18+ & Safety and Child Safety Standards.
