BuddyMe: Find Friends Nearby

Make friends, not small talk.

BuddyMe is the app for meeting new people and making real friends through shared activities — not swiping. It's not a dating app: BuddyMe is about friendship, activity partners, and actually meeting up with people near you.

You post a "Signal" — for example, "Concert on Saturday, who's in?" — and match with like-minded people who want to do the same thing right now. Coffee, sports, hiking, gaming, going out, or just hanging out: say what you're up for and find people nearby who want to join.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Post a Signal — show what you're up for.

2. Connect with one tap — no swiping, no endless profiles.

3. Chat and meet — and chatting is completely free.

WHY BUDDYME?

- Make real friends instead of collecting followers

- Activities first, not surface-level profiles

- Free chat — no paywall (your messages are never locked behind Premium)

- Not a dating app — friendship and activity partners come first

- Safe by design: photo verification, Trust Score, moderated profiles, and women-only Signals

WHO IS BUDDYME FOR?

For anyone who wants to meet new people, find a new best friend or an activity partner, is new in town, or simply wants to grow their circle — whether you're in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Graz, Vienna, or Zurich. There's room here for queer friendships and like-minded people too. Perfect for expats and newcomers looking to make friends in a new city.

Coffee & cafés · Hiking & nature · Sports & fitness · Gaming · Eating out & going out · Coworking … and anything else you're up for.

YOUR SAFETY

Your safety comes first: verified profiles, contact details stay hidden until a meet-up is confirmed, and you can block and report anyone at any time.
