What you get in the app

  • Discover nearby

    See who's around — within 5 km, 25 km, or the whole city. Filter by industry, language and interests.

  • Global map

    Zoom in on any city on earth. Find a coworking buddy in Bali or a mentor in Berlin before you land.

  • Live feed

    Post what you're up to, ask a question, find someone to grab a coffee with. Geo-aware, so you reach the right people.

  • Safety first

    One-tap block. One-tap report. We review every report within 24 hours and act on it.

  • Privacy by design

    Your GPS is only shared with your explicit permission. We never sell your data. Delete your account in two taps.

  • Real, public, platonic

    BUDU is for in-person meetups in public spaces — not a dating app. 18+ only.
