Just moved? The weekends are quiet.
The new job is fine, and the apartment is getting there. Partnr starts with what you already love: Discover shows the interests you share with each person nearby, so there's something to talk about from the start.
Opening first in Orange County
Every weekend, people near you are doing what you love. Go with them.
A doubles partner. A coffee friend. Trail company. Player two. A gym partner.
Partnr is a friendship app. Pick from 140 interests, see who nearby shares them, and start talking once you both want to connect. That way, the next sunrise hike, pickup game or board game night could come with a friend.
Opening first across Orange County. One email when Partnr launches. No newsletter.

The short answer
What is the easiest way to find people near me who like the same things?
Use an interest-first friend app. In Partnr you pick your interests, see people nearby who share them, and chat once you both connect. No awkward icebreaker events required.
Adult friendships rarely happen by accident. Partnr starts from the thing you already have in common, whether that's trail running, board games, ceramics or a love of ramen, so the first message writes itself.
Everything is better in pairs.
Partnr is for the moments that are better with a friend.
And when two isn't enough, a Group brings the whole crew.
This weekend, nearby
The best part of your weekend is probably happening right now, without you.
Your doubles group keeps coming up one short?
Doubles needs four. Add Tennis to your interests and Discover shows it as shared on the profiles of people nearby who play too. The first message nearly writes itself: singles or doubles?
Love a long talk over a slow coffee?
Some friendships are just this: a table, two cups, and a conversation that runs long. Partnr shows the interests you share with people nearby, and suggests a first question based on what you have in common.
Up early on Saturdays? Bring trail company.
Bommer Canyon at sunrise, Crystal Cove when the fog lifts, a longer day in the Santa Ana Mountains. Better with someone who's also up early. Find a hiking friend nearby.
Love a co-op game, but mostly play it solo?
Some games are built for two: someone to cover your back, argue strategy and celebrate the win. The same goes for board games and escape rooms. Add what you play, and Discover shows who nearby plays it too.
Find your kind of people
Happy at home, but open to one good friend?
No crowded rooms and no cold messages. Partnr starts with one person and one shared interest, and a chat opens only when you both want it. Icebreakers help with the first line, and a voice answer on your profile can say hello for you.
Full calendar, empty social life?
Work, family, a commute, and somehow it's been months since you made a new friend. Partnr shows the interests you share with people nearby. You choose how far you'll go and reply when you can.
How Partnr is different
Built for making friends, not followers.
- Starts with what you share. Discover highlights the interests you have in common with each person and why you might get along.
- No cold messages. A chat opens only when you both choose to connect.
- Groups whose members have a say. When you ask to join a Group, its members vote on your request.
- Your address stays yours. Other members see your city and roughly how far away you are, nothing more precise.

Orange County
Orange County opens first. Hear it the day it does.
OC is beaches, canyons and a string of cities that feel like one big neighborhood, until you try to make friends across it. The person who loves your trail, your game or your coffee spot might live two exits away. Partnr opens first across Orange County, from Fullerton to San Clemente, so you can find them. A sunrise loop at Bommer Canyon. Pickup games at the Great Park. Pho in Little Saigon. A morning at Crystal Cove. You bring the plan; Partnr helps you find the friend.
Join the launch list and you will hear from us the day Partnr launches, not from a friend who already found their crew.
We'll email you once, when Partnr launches.
Opening first across Orange County.
Life is better with a Partnr.
