HOW IT WORKS
Built for real human connection — not followers, not likes.
Add your bio, photo, city, activities, and set your weekly availability. Take the Bestie Type quiz — your energy, mind, and vibe type appear on your passport and power the compatibility engine.
Browse with type compatibility, explore the Nearby Map, check City Pulse for who's free today, or send a Knock to someone interesting — an anonymous signal that only reveals your identity on a mutual match.
Meet up 1-on-1, join a Group Session hosted by someone in your city, or flip "I'm free today" on Pulse for spontaneous hangouts. Show up — that's all it takes.
Both sides confirm the session and rate each other. Record a memory — mood, note, photo. Give Sparks. Your streak grows, badges unlock, your passport becomes proof of a life well lived.
WHAT'S A KNOCK?
You knock
Tap Knock on someone’s passport. It’s a quiet signal — no message needed, no pressure.
They get a nudge — not your name
They see “Someone knocked 👀” on their bell. Knocks stay anonymous, so there’s zero awkwardness if it’s not mutual.
Knock back = a match
If they knock you too, it’s mutual. Both names are revealed and you both get the good news.
Now you can talk
Messaging and Sparks unlock only after a match (or a real session together) — so every chat starts with mutual interest.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Your verified profile: Bestie Score, session count, sparks, badges, streak, availability. One link to share it all.
Score grows with every confirmed session, spark, and week of consistency. Earn badges — Top 1%, Session King, streak milestones, Rising Star.
Meet someone every week and your streak grows. 12-week streaks unlock the rarest badges and a bonus on your score.
Set your available days and time slots. Visible on your passport so people know the best time to reach out — no guessing.

A live web of every real connection made on Bestie. Clusters form naturally — your crew, your city, your world.
After every session, record your mood, what you did, and add a photo. Your passport becomes a living story of real moments.
30 rare tokens you earn at signup. Give up to 3 per person, 1 per type. The rarest signal of real trust.
Session-gated safety tools — only people who've actually met can block or report. Keeps the community honest.
CREWS
A Crew is a group of Besties who regularly show up for each other. Create one, invite friends, run events — or join an existing one.
Public crews are open to anyone. Private crews require a request or a captain's invite link — it bypasses the queue instantly.
Captains post events visible to all members. New events show up as notifications on your dashboard.
Members rate their crew 1–5 stars. The average is shown on the crew card. Highly-rated crews rank higher in the public listings.
Crews are ranked by rating and size. A great vibe, active events, and happy members push your crew up the charts.
AI SWARM FOR CREWS
In big groups the right person is always there — you just can't find them. Each member connects their AI agent and describes what they do. Ask the swarm for anything — “who can help me launch a podcast?” — and it instantly finds your best matches inside the crew.
No more scrolling member lists or asking in chat. Describe the need — the swarm surfaces the right people.
When the swarm picks someone, they get notified too. Connections happen both ways, not one cold DM.
A shared board of needs & offers plus weekly auto-suggestions — the swarm connects people on its own.
