Climbing plans, minus the group chat

Gather your crew,
the time is ripe.

See who's climbing tomorrow, lock in your sesh in one tap, and let the crew pile on — no more chasing five friends to make a plan.

Sound familiar?

Quit texting five people
to find one belay partner.

Every session starts with the same scavenger hunt across three group chats. Ripe replaces all of it with one glance.

How it works

No group chat. Just plans.

Share where you're headed and Ripe unlocks everyone else's plans. See who's on, tap to join, and meet at the wall — the coordination sorts itself out.

Plans

Planning takes a second

Set where and when you're climbing tomorrow. Pick a gym, pick a time — a couple of taps and you're done.

The feed

Tomorrow's crew, one glance

Friends' plans land on a single timeline. Tap + to join a sesh — or watch them pile onto yours.

Check-in

Made it — tap in

A quick tap when you arrive lets the crew know you showed.
 

Ava, determined Streaks

Show up, keep the flame

Every day you climb (or deliberately rest) grows your streak.

Why we built Ripe
Ava

Someone always ends up being the planner.

In every crew, one person does the chasing — and quietly carries the pressure. Ripe spreads that work across everyone, so making a plan never lands on one person again.

“I was always the one texting around — different friend groups, every week: ‘anyone climbing today?’ I didn't mind sending them. What got me was the pressure baked in: I felt like a nag for always being the one to ask, and friends felt they had to say yes just because I'd reached out. So we flipped it — everyone shares their own plan, nobody has to chase anyone, and the awkwardness is gone.” — Mingzhe, founder

Crew first

You don't need another leaderboard. You need to know who's in tomorrow. Ripe is plans, not posts — made with your people, not broadcast at them.

Consistency over intensity

The streak rewards showing up, not sending hard. Rest days count too — recovery is part of climbing, not a break from it.

Made to be closed

No infinite feed, nothing to doomscroll. Plan in a second, see your crew, then put the phone away and climb.

Before you ask
Is it free?

Yes — always. Ripe is free, there are no ads, and we'll never sell where you climb. It's a little app for climbers, not a business trying to charge you.

Do my friends need it too?

Ripe is best with your crew, so yes — but inviting them takes one tap and a shared link. Even a couple of friends makes it worth it.

Is my location tracked?

No background tracking. Your location is only used the moment you tap “check in” at the gym, and only your crew sees it.

Is there an Android version?

iPhone first — it's what we built on. Android is next on our list.

Is this another social feed?

The opposite. There's no public feed and nothing to doomscroll — just tomorrow's plans with the people you actually climb with.

Ava, happy

Your crew's already climbing.
