Now in alpha in Australia

Meet your friends somewhere fair for everyone.

Tell Middy who’s coming. It checks how each of you is getting there, by car, train or on foot, and suggests pubs and bars where nobody is left with the long trip. Pick one together and get on with the night.

Start a Middy with one friend or seven.

How it works

Four taps to the first round.

  1. A new Middy: you, Sam and Priya are in, and a dashed plus ring adds one more friend. New Middy Who’s coming? A S P You Sam Priya Add Tonight Pick a time SSam PPriya JJo Share a link instead Start a Middy

    Start a Middy and pick who’s coming.

  2. A map where each friend shows as a soft, blurry circle over their area, never a pin on a house, and a one-tap share button. Where from? Friends see an area, never your door. S A P COMING FROM Here now Home Work Share in one tap

    Each friend adds where they’re coming from with one tap.

  3. Three friends’ areas joined by routes to the Middy mark in the middle, above two pub cards showing each person’s travel time. Fair for all Ranked by everyone’s trip. The Halfway Arms ★ 4.6 · Open till late S 18mA 21mP 19m Top pick The Fair Go ★ 4.4 · Open now S 22mA 17mP 24m

    Middy lines up the pubs that are fairest on everyone’s trip.

  4. It’s on: The Halfway Arms at 6:30, Priya has arrived, you and Sam are on the way, and an Open in Maps button. It’s on! The Halfway Arms Friday · 6:30 pm · 3 of you ON THEIR WAY PPriya Arrived SSam12 min AYou8 min Open in Maps

    Pick the spot and see who’s on their way.

Fair for everyone

Fair is about the trip.

The middle of the map can mean two trains for one friend and a short drive for another. Middy compares everyone’s travel time and looks after the longest trip first, so the place it suggests is a fair go for all of you.

Alex takes two trains and Bea drives. The halfway point on the map would leave Alex travelling much longer, so Middy picks a pub nearer Alex: 24 minutes for Alex, 25 for Bea. Halfway on the map A 24 min B 25 min Middy’s pick
  • Alex: two trains, 24 min
  • Bea: drives, 25 min
  • Middy’s pick: a fair trip for both

Your home stays yours.

Friends see a blurry area around you and how long your trip will take. Your address stays off their screen.

FAQ

Good questions.

Do I need the app?

You need the app to start a Middy. If a friend sends you a link, you can join from any browser without an account.

Can friends see where I live?

No. They see a blurry area around you and how long your trip will take.

Where does Middy work?

Middy covers pubs and bars in every Australian capital city, plus cafés and restaurants. Walking and driving times work in all of them. Public transport times are being trialled in a few cities, with more locations coming soon.

How many people can come?

You and one friend, or up to eight of you.

Who can use it?

Anyone 18 or over. We check your date of birth when you sign up, and it can’t be changed later.

Next time someone asks “where?”, have the answer.

If a friend has already sent you a Middy link, open it in any browser and add where you’re coming from.
