Pop by your
friends’ rooms
Popby is a cozy pixel room you share with close friends. Decorate yours, drop by theirs, and everything you do together stays on your shelf.
Coming soon to iPhone and Android
A room full of little pixel things
Decorate
A room that looks like you
Pick a wallpaper and a floor, place a sofa, hang a frame, put a record on. Move things around whenever you like, or tuck them away in your bag for later.

Leave footprints in a friend’s room
Visit a friend and you leave footprints. Add a sticker or a short note, water their plant, or leave a gift by the door. They get a quiet little note that you were there.

Keep
What you do together stays
Visit each other on the same day, grow a plant together until it blooms, finish something together in your shared hangout. Each one hangs a keepsake on everyone’s wall, and tapping it takes you back to that friend’s room.
Made to be calm
Popby is a place to unwind with your friends, so a few things are left out on purpose.
Nothing to win
No rankings, no scores, no leagues. Your room is a room, not a leaderboard.
Miss a day, lose nothing
No streak to break. Plants stop growing while you are away, but they never wilt.
Only people you know
Friends, and friends of friends. There is no feed of strangers to scroll.
Only good news
Notifications tell you a friend watered your plant. They never nag you to come back.
A minute is enough
Answer today’s question, send your cat out to visit, pick up what you found by the door. Then you are done.
Keepsakes are earned together
You cannot buy them. They only come from things you do with friends.
Questions
- When can I get Popby?
- Popby is being tested with a small group of friends right now. The iPhone and Android apps are coming soon.
- Who can see my room?
- Only the friends you add. If you want, you can turn on a link so anyone you send it to can look around — read-only, no account needed.
- A friend sent me a link. Do I need the app?
- No. Room and invite links open right in your browser. Install the app when you want a room of your own.
- Do I ever meet people through Popby?
- No. Popby is a place to hang out online with friends you already have. There are no meetups, no locations, and no strangers.
