A MEBAL app

Plan good times with your people.

Buddy is a private, invite-only app for friend groups — “pods” — to coordinate hangouts: who’s hosting, when, what to bring, and who’s in. No public profiles. No noise. Just your crew.

Invite-only pods 16+ community No public profiles

Everything your crew needs

Built for the way friends actually hang out

Small, trusted groups. Clear plans. Zero noise from strangers.

Private pods

Invite-only friend groups, capped at 50. No public profiles, no discovery, no strangers.

Host profiles

Say what you have, when you can host, and what people should bring — so planning is effortless.

Hangouts + RSVPs

Propose a hangout at a host’s open slot, see who’s coming at a glance, and claim what to bring.

Rotating leaders

Every pod has a leader who keeps things active — handed over or elected, never stuck on one person.

Community & events

Opt your pod into community channels and a live World Cup + news hub to plan watch parties.

Safe by design

Every message is screened before anyone sees it. Report and block are one tap away.

How it works

From “we should hang out” to actually hanging out

1

Start a pod

Create a private pod and invite the people you actually hang out with — up to 50.

2

Set your hosting

Add a host profile: what you’ve got, when you’re free, and what guests should bring.

3

Plan the hangout

Propose a time, watch RSVPs roll in, and claim who’s bringing what. Done.

Built for trust

Buddy is a 16+ app with a strict no-violence, no-sexual-content policy enforced by automated screening, in-app reporting and blocking, and human review. Read our community rules and privacy policy.
