Muddies
Your mutually approved friends on Mad Buddy, with proximity that follows each person's visibility choices.
About
Built to get people out of the app and into real life.
Mad Buddy helps you notice when trusted friends are roughly nearby, deliberately discover new people through Linkr, and turn that social momentum into real Meetups.

The product principles
- Connection over popularity
- Mad Buddy is designed around people doing things together, not building an audience around follower counts.
- Approximate by design
- Proximity uses broad bands and category ranges to create social awareness without handing another user your exact coordinates, precise measured distance, street location, live map position, or location history.
- Discovery is deliberate
- Muddy proximity and Linkr are not the same thing. Linkr discovery starts because you choose to enable it and stops when you stop the session.
- Controls must hold
- Visibility choices, Ghost Mode, blocking, reporting, and privacy settings are product controls, not decorative preferences.
Trust is part of the product surface
Safety, privacy, legal terms, support, and account recovery should not feel like detached utility pages. They are part of the same promise as the Landing itself.
