You do not have to install anything
Everything happens on this website — booking an hour, sitting at a table, the whole conversation. It works on every phone, and it can sit on your home screen like an app. The Android app is below if you want reminders as well.
Put it on your home screen — Android
- 1. Open meet.primarch.work in Chrome.
- 2. Tap the ⋮ menu.
- 3. Choose Add to Home screen or Install app.
iPhone — Safari
- 1. Open meet.primarch.work in Safari.
- 2. Tap the Share button.
- 3. Choose Add to Home Screen.
There is no iPhone app, and the website is the whole thing.
The Android app, if you want reminders
The app does one thing the browser cannot: it reminds you. An hour before a table you have a place at, again when the tables are being formed, and — if you leave that switch on — it can tell you something has been said while the app is closed. Everything else is the same.
What Android will warn you, and why
This app does not come from the Play Store, so Google has never checked it and says so — sometimes bluntly. You may see any of these:
- “Play Protect doesn't recognise this app's developer” — the ordinary message for anything installed from a website.
- “Unsafe app blocked”, or a warning that an app like this could steal passwords, photos or financial information — Google describing what an app installed outside the store could do in general, not something it has found in this one.
- “App scanned, no problems detected” — the same check, having gone the other way.
Any of those means Google does not know this file, which is true: it was signed by one person and put on this page. Nobody can prove the negative to you, so two things are published below that let you check the file yourself, and everything the app asks your phone for is listed with its reason.
If your phone refuses outright, or you would rather not, use the website. It does everything except the reminders.
Installing it
- 1. Tap Download for Android. If your browser asks whether to keep the file, choose Download anyway.
- 2. Open the downloaded file, from the notification or your Downloads.
- 3. If you see “your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source”, tap Settings, turn on Allow from this source, then go back.
- 4. Tap Install. At the Play Protect warning, tap More details, then Install anyway.
- 5. Open Table for Six. You can turn “Allow from this source” off again afterwards.
Installed a test copy before 9 November 2026? Uninstall it first: test copies were signed differently, so this one cannot install over them.
What it asks your phone for
All of it, with the reason. Nothing else is in the file.
- Internet — to reach this website. It talks to nowhere else.
- Notifications — the reminders. Asked for the first time you take a place, and refusing costs you nothing else.
- Run a service while you are at a table — so it can tell you something was said with the app closed. It runs only during a sitting, Android shows a notice the whole time, and that notice stops it.
- Keep the phone awake briefly, and vibrate — to finish that check with the screen off, and to buzz once when somebody speaks.
- Set alarms, and restore them after a restart — that is how a reminder an hour before a table survives until the hour arrives.
What it never asks for: contacts, camera, microphone, location, photos, files, or the list of apps on your phone. It has no trackers, no analytics and no advertising code, the same promise as the website, and there is no push service — so no third party ever sits between you and a table. What we know about you says it in full.
Check the file yourself
Download it only from this page — a copy from anywhere else, including one forwarded to you, may not be ours. These two numbers say whether the file you have is the file we published:

What is new
Version 1.3.0 — the one above
- · A table that starts now: stand at the door, and the moment three of you are there a table opens and you are taken into it. The screen stays on while you wait.
- · Sit down with a name and nothing else. An email is only for being written to, and you can add one later from your own page.
Version 1.2.7
- · Say "I’ll come if others do" instead of committing blind — your place is held, and you are told the moment there are enough of you.
- · Every hour says where it stands: two so far, one more and it runs.
Version 1.2.6
- · While you are at a table, the app can watch it with the app closed and tell you when something is new — with no push service and nothing about your phone sent anywhere.
- · Who is at your table stays in view above the talk, with a mark on anybody who has just sat down.
- · A soft note when somebody speaks or arrives — turn it off from the bar you talk from.
- · Last call is said beside that bar instead of above the conversation.
- · Its own icon at last, instead of the one every app starts with.
- · Opening the app catches its reminders up with places taken anywhere else.
Version 1.2.5
- · Your phone reminds you an hour before a table you have a place at, and again when the tables form.
- · Add a place you hold to your phone’s own calendar.
- · You are told when a newer version of the app is on the download page.
- · Choose in Reminders whether to hear about an evening set in your part of the world.
Version 1.2.4
- · An invitation link somebody shares now opens the dinner straight in the app.
- · Several people on one connection can each make an account — a household or an office is no longer taken for one person.
Version 1.2.3
- · Say somebody at the table by name and it is marked, so nobody misses being spoken to.
- · Every line shows the time it was said, in your own clock.
Version 1.2.2
- · Tables you share nothing with are now listed, with what they are talking about, so you can still sit down.
- · The invitation to an evening is shown under its name.
Version 1.2.0
- · React to what somebody says, and raise a glass to the table.
- · Twenty objects to sit behind, instead of eight.
- · Private dinners: open an invitation, host your own, and offer to sponsor.
Updates
When there is a newer version, the app says so and brings you back here. Download it and install it over the old one: you stay signed in and keep everything. There is no automatic updating, because the app does not come through a store.
