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, show what you are up for, and turn that momentum into plans.
What lives inside Mad Buddy
Linkr
Deliberately enabled discovery for meeting someone new, with privacy-safe approximate proximity and mutual choice before a continuing connection.

Messages & Moments
Keep conversations and private social sharing attached to the people and plans that matter.
Safe Arrival
A safety-focused arrival experience designed to help chosen people know whether you got there without turning them into live trackers.
Profile & media
Your profile is the source of your identity and the photos you choose to show across Mad Buddy experiences.
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 should create social awareness without handing another user your exact coordinates, street location, exact numerical distance, 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.
