When you want a buddy,
not a date.

the process

Three steps to your next hangout

No profiles built for flirting, no algorithm optimizing for chemistry. Just a straightforward way to find people who want to do the same things you do.

1

Share what you're into

Add your interests, the activities you want a buddy for, and the places you already spend time — your gym, your dog park, your Sunday coffee spot.

2

Browse people nearby doing the same things

See who's posted a shared interest, activity, or place near you — sorted by what you have in common, not by looks.

3

Message and make plans

Send a message, find a time, show up. That's it — WannaBuddy gets out of the way once you've found your people.

built around real life

Connect over what you actually do

🎯

Shared interests

Board games, birdwatching, language exchange, film photography — find people who nerd out about the same stuff.

📅

Shared activities

Post an activity you want company for — a hike, a run, a rec league — and match with people who want to show up too.

📍

Shared places

Your regular gym, dog park, coworking space, or coffee shop — meet the other regulars you keep almost-talking to.

no ambiguity

Built to be platonic, on purpose.

Every profile is framed around interests and activities — never relationship status or "looking for."

Report and block tools are one tap away, and romantic advances are against our community guidelines.

Meet in public, go at your pace — first messages default to group hangouts, not one-on-one.

Your next hiking partner, game night, or coffee regular is nearby.

Free to join. No dating, no swiping — just people to do things with.
