How it works

Four steps from signing up to sitting across from someone.

  1. 1

    Create your account

    Name, city and what you are into. Two minutes, and you can browse straight away.

  2. 2

    Find someone nearby

    Filter by city, interest and verification, or post on the Hire board and let people come to you.

  3. 3

    Message and agree the plan

    Chat on the platform, settle the time, the place and the rate before anyone leaves home.

  4. 4

    Meet in public

    Somewhere open and busy. Tell a friend where you are going, and report anything that feels off.

Meeting a stranger should feel safe.

These rules apply to everyone, on both sides. You must be 18 or older to use the app.

Government ID checked

Partners go live only after we verify their ID and a selfie.

Public places only

Plans happen at cafes, malls, cinemas, gyms and other public spots.

Company, nothing more

This is a platonic service. Any request beyond that gets the account removed.

Report in one tap

Every profile and chat has a report button. Our team reviews reports every day.

What you get for your money

The things worth knowing before you pay for anything.

One price, nothing hidden

A membership is the only thing we charge for. No joining fee, no per-message cost, no cut of what you agree with a buddy.

Encrypted end to end

Every request between your browser and our servers is sealed on top of HTTPS, so what crosses the network is unreadable in the middle.

Talk before you meet

Messaging lives on the platform, so you can get a feel for someone and still have a record if anything goes wrong.

ID checked partners

Anyone who wants to be hired clears a government ID check first. The badge means we matched the ID to the name.

Membership, plainly priced

Browsing is free. A membership is what lets you message people, post on the Hire board and be hired yourself. Cancel whenever you like.

Questions people ask

Good at something people enjoy doing together?

Pick the categories you like, set your own hours and agree the rate in chat.
