The people who matter to you are one kopi away. Next Kopi makes sure the next one happens.
Plan it once. Share one link. Sit down together again and again, with the planning, the reminders and the bill handled for you.
You know the group.
Maybe it’s the dads from your son’s football Saturdays. The four of you from national service who still say “must meet up” every Chinese New Year. The ex-colleagues who swore they’d keep in touch. The cousins. The Tuesday running kaki who became something more than a running group.
You were close once. You still are, if anyone asks. But look at the WhatsApp group. The last real message was a birthday sticker. Before that, someone said “we should meet!” and eleven people replied with a thumbs up, and then nobody picked a day.
It’s not that nobody cares. It’s that nobody wants to be the one who organises.
Because organising is work. Somebody has to suggest a date. Chase the people who didn’t answer. Remember who said maybe. Find a place that’s open, near enough for everyone, and quiet enough to talk. Remind everyone the night before. And at the end, work out who owes what, send the PayNow number, and chase the S$12.30 from the friend who “will transfer tonight”.
Do that once and it’s fine. Do it every fortnight for a year and you stop. Everyone does. And the group goes quiet, and the friendship quietly becomes a memory.
Next Kopi is for the person who’s tired of being the one who organises, and for everyone who’d show up if someone just picked a day.
It’s a small app for circles: small groups of people who meet in person, again and again. A circle has a name, a few members, the places you like to sit, and a rhythm: weekly, every two weeks, or monthly. Each time you meet is a sitting. Not events. Not a social network. Not another group chat. A way for the same people to keep sitting down together.
Set up in minutes. Honestly.
Here’s everything it takes to start:
- 1
Sign in with your email.
No password to invent. We email you a link and a six-digit code; tap either one.
- 2
Name your circle.
“Saturday Dads”. “The Table”. “Ah Boys Supper Club”.
Name your circle
How often do you meet?Saturday Dads - 3
Pick a morning and a place.
Tap one of the next four dates on your rhythm, choose a time, and save the place once, with a pin on the map and a note like “upstairs, the corner by the fan”.
Pick a morningOct20TueNov3TueNov17TueDec1TueTiong Bahru Market7:45am · upstairs, the corner by the fan - 4
Share one line to your WhatsApp group.
Next Kopi writes it for you, plus the link.
Eh, when are we meeting ah?8:01Next sitting: Tue 20 Oct, 7:45am at Tiong Bahru Market · Pay your own. Say if you’re in: nextkopi.com/i/7Q2F8:03
That’s it. Your friends tap the link and answer In, Maybe or Can’t. They don’t need to download anything. They don’t even need an account: a friend can come as a guest with just their first name, and join properly later if they like it.
And then it runs itself.
You set it up once, and it keeps going.
The next sitting schedules itself. Choose “repeat every two weeks” and, as soon as this one is done, the next one is already there, same place, same time. When it ends, you get one tap: “Fri 16 Oct, same place?”

Fri 16 Oct, same place?
Tiong Bahru Market · 7:45am · everyone’s toldOr let your own SI run it. Tell Grok, Claude, ChatGPT or an SI you wrote: “Read nextkopi.com/api/v2/agent and set this up for me.” It plans the sittings, invites your people and answers for you, with its own key. It never touches money. How it works ›
Nobody gets forgotten. Anyone who hasn’t answered gets one gentle nudge two days before. Everyone who’s In or Maybe gets a reminder the day before and the morning of, by email and phone notification, when they choose.
Your places are saved. The cafés and hawker centres your circle likes, with the map pin, the opening hours and how you sit there. Reuse them forever. Next Kopi even remembers the last time you sat at each one.
No more “which one ah?” Every sitting has its place, its map link and its plan in one page, the same page for everyone.
Set up in minutes. Reused for years. The hardest part of staying close is starting again, and Next Kopi means you never have to start again.
On the day.
When the morning comes, Next Kopi quietly helps the table come together.
Start the sitting when you arrive, and anyone who’s In can tap I’m here. Everyone sees who’s already at the table.
Happening now
PHWMPeter and Wei are here
WeiI’m here, got the corner table.
Running late. 5 min!
Table talk opens a couple of hours before: a tiny chat for just this sitting. It stays with the sitting and disappears a week later. Your WhatsApp group stays for the things that matter.
Spontaneous? Tap Start one here, now. Next Kopi finds the kopitiam you’re standing in, and you can let people nearby find the table and ask to join. You let each one in.
Moments. A few photos from the table, for the people who sat. Locked so that only your circle’s phones can open them. Not us, not anyone else.
The bill, in one minute.
The awkward part of every good morning, handled kindly. Before anyone says In, they see how we’ll pay: Pay your own, Host treats, I’m treating some of it, Split evenly, or By what you order. No surprises at the counter.
When it’s over, whoever paid taps I paid, types the total, and taps Send the shares. Each person gets their share with your PayNow QR, the amount and a reference already filled in. They scan it in their bank app, pay, and tap I’ve paid.

PayNowS$9.35

Reference NK-4HX2
Your bank will show PETER HUYNH and S$9.35. Check both before you pay.
You see who’s paid and who hasn’t. Next Kopi does the gentle reminding, so the friendship doesn’t have to. No spreadsheet. No “eh, how much ah?” No chasing.
And after a good morning, you can give someone a kopi: a small thank-you to the friend who really listened. It shows up for both of you, and it’s the nicest debt you’ll ever owe.
Quiet on purpose.
Next Kopi is deliberately quiet software, built for small circles, not for crowds.
Nothing to monitor. No charts, no streaks, no leaderboards, no “engagement”. Every screen has one thing on it: the next sitting, who’s coming, the bill.
Your circle decides who joins. Share an invite code, a QR code or your circle’s link. New people wait until a host lets them in, or you can let anyone with the code straight in.
Private by design. Photos are locked to your circle’s phones. Table talk is locked. You choose what the public invite shows: first names, just how many are coming, or nothing at all.
Works when the signal doesn’t. Lost signal in the basement food court? Next Kopi still opens, still shows the sitting, and still takes your In or your message. It sends them the moment you’re back online.
Your WhatsApp group, one tap away. Save your group’s link in the circle and everyone can jump to it from Next Kopi. Next Kopi doesn’t replace your group. It gives it a reason to meet.
Who it’s for.
RKWMBO
The dads who meet before the school run, the ones who became friends because their kids did.
DGMTJLAS
The old kakis from school, NS or your first job, who keep promising to catch up.
SRGLMLAP
The small groups: the cell group, the book club, the Sunday cyclists, the alumni kopi, the caregivers’ circle.
AMUTJT
The families who want a standing Sunday breakfast that actually stands.
HLPNYT
The learners: the watercolour class, the tuition group, the Sunday Hokkien lesson.
If there’s a group of people you’d like to see more often, and “someone should organise” has become “nobody did”, Next Kopi is for you.
Learning, at the same table.
Next Kopi works for learning too. Anyone who knows something can teach it to people who want to learn: watercolour on a Sunday, Hokkien for the grandparents, spreadsheets for the new job.
The teacher is the host. Make a circle, make it public, and set the seats and a price a seat. Every week, if you like. It shows up when people browse, and the link goes into any group.
People pay for a seat by PayNow before each session, straight to the teacher. Next Kopi takes nothing from it.
It fills, and a line forms. When the seats are gone, people wait for one. If someone can’t come, the first in line is offered the seat.
The notes are pinned to the circle, where only the people in it can open them.
From three people round a table to a full hall, it’s the same sitting.
What it costs.
Everything above, with no helper: circles, sittings that repeat themselves, invites and guests, reminders and nudges, saved places with the map, Table talk, moments, PayNow shares and the bill, and giving a kopi.
If Next Kopi keeps your circle together, you can buy us a kopi now and then: one tap, a fixed small amount, never required, never nagged. It’s how a quiet app stays quiet: no ads, no selling your data, no dark patterns.
Start your circle, it’s freeFor hosts who want it done for them. Tap ✦ and just say what you want: “Breakfast next Saturday, somewhere near Bishan, we’ll split the bill evenly”. The helper drafts the sitting, the place and the invite for you to check and post. It can draw your circle a cover picture, and it reads the receipt so the bill splits itself.
One sittingS$1when you want it

Pay by PayNow or card. Every new host gets three sittings with ✦ to try it.
Credits never expire. Guests and members never pay anything. Only the host who posts the sitting uses a credit.
Try it this week.
Here’s our suggestion. Open Next Kopi, name your circle, and pick a morning next week. Paste the line into your group. Then watch what happens when someone finally picked a day.
The people who matter are still there. They’re waiting for the next kopi.

P.S. You don’t have to convince anyone to download an app. They tap your link, answer In or Maybe, and come as a guest with just their first name. The only person who needs Next Kopi on day one is you.
P.P.S. It takes about three minutes to set up your first sitting. We timed it.
