Buddy matching
Buddy matching is the part of GoBuddy that finds you a real person to move with. You tell us when you are free and what you feel like doing — we handle the pairing, the confirmation and the reminder so you actually show up.
How it works
Step by step
- 1
Say when you are free
Open a slot for the next 24 hours (Basic), 7 days (Premium) or 30 days (VIP). A slot is just a time window plus the activity you are up for.
- 2
We pair you
GoBuddy looks at activity type, intensity level, language and how close you are, then proposes the best available buddy instead of making you scroll through profiles.
- 3
Both confirm
You each get a match card with an alias, the activity and the time. Two taps and the session is locked in.
- 4
Show up together
A reminder lands before the start, the soundtrack starts warming up, and afterwards both of you log the session so streaks and show-up scores update.
Example
A typical match
Tuesday 18:30 · Easy run · 4 km · within 2 km of you
Matched with “SwiftPine” — same pace band, both new to GoBuddy
Both confirmed 18:02 · reminder sent 18:20
Completed 18:47 · streak 4 days · punctual ✓
Good to know
- Aliases first — your phone number and full name are never shown to a buddy.
- No-shows are recorded so repeat offenders get matched last.
- You can favourite a buddy and get paired again when you are both free.
- Group formats take up to 12 participants on Premium and VIP.
