Downtyme

Downtyme, Inc. is a start-up computer software company based in Boston, MA. The company was founded by Boston University computer engineering students Luke Sorenson and Barron Roth in January 2014. The company has five founding partners (including three developers) and is developing an Android and iOS mobile application that will help enhance the quality of free time for college students. Downtyme allows you to match schedules and make plans with nearby friends. It’s the fastest, most convenient way to get together with friends in your free time. Here’s how it works: 1) Sync your calendar or enter your typical weekly schedule. Downtyme only uses your availability and your schedule is never shared directly with anyone, so your privacy is maintained. 2) Select a time & Downtyme shows you which friends are mutually available, sorted by location and relationship to you. 3) Tap on the friends (or groups) that you’d like to hang out with, and they’ll be notified instantly. Specify details like where’d you like to meet up and what you’d like to do. 4) View your upcoming plans and instantly message with plan-goers to work out the remaining details. If you’re feeling that Downtyme is too effective for bringing people together and you need some alone time, just flip the “Hidden” switch and become invisible.
