OyeBuddy

Inside the app

Made for the people around you

No endless swiping through strangers across the country. OyeBuddy is built around who is close by and what they feel like doing: cafes and plans, movie plans, travel plans or a simple meetup nearby.

OyeBuddy Discover screen: a profile card with distance and interests, like, pass and message buttons
Discover

Around you, one card at a time

Discover shows people near you with an approximate distance, their interests and what they are looking for. Like or pass. When you both like each other, it's a match.

  • Filters for distance, age range and who you want to see
  • Distance shown to the nearest kilometre, never exact
  • A like only becomes a chat when it is mutual
OyeBuddy Buddy Feed: a live plan card and short posts from people nearby
Buddy Feed

Post a plan. It disappears.

“Cafe at 6? Anyone up?” Buddy Feed is for short, real-time plans with people nearby. Posts expire after a few hours, so the feed is always about now.

  • Reply to a post to start a conversation
  • Starters for cafe, food, movies, cricket, gym and more
  • Public places, friendly plans, nothing that sticks around
