πŸ“ Tripfolk

Never travel alone

A meetup network for travellers and locals. See who's around, join a plan tonight, and keep a map of everywhere you've been.

In development β€” the apps aren't published yet.

How it works

Four things, and none of them are a feed to scroll.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

See who's around

Travellers and locals near you right now β€” not a list of profiles from three countries away.

β˜•

Plans, not pen pals

Someone posts "coffee at 6" and you either show up or you don't. Every plan has a time and a place.

✈️

Overlapping trips

Add where you're going next and Tripfolk shows who else will be there on the same dates.

🌍

Your passport

Mark every country you've visited. See your share of the world and who you've overlapped with.

🏠

Locals, not just tourists

Most apps only connect travellers to each other. Tripfolk includes the people who actually live there.

Verified profiles

A quick selfie check gets you a verified badge. Report and block are one tap away on every profile.

Your exact location never leaves your phone

Most "people nearby" apps store the coordinates your phone reports. Tripfolk doesn't β€” and that's a design decision, not a setting you have to find.

  • Shifted before it's stored. Every location is moved 300–800 m in a direction fixed to your account, then snapped to a 500 m grid. The raw coordinates are discarded.
  • Never sent to anyone. The API returns distances like "2.4 km", never latitude and longitude. Map pins are drawn at an approximate position, not your real one.
  • You can disappear. Turn visibility off, or delete your account from inside the app β€” profile, trips and plans go with it.

18 and over

Tripfolk is for adults meeting adults. Date of birth is asked at sign-up and can't be changed afterwards. Accounts we find to be under 18 are removed. If you believe a minor is using Tripfolk, report the profile in the app or email safety@tripfolk.app.
