Making friends as an adult is hard. It shouldn't be.
Sidekick connects you with nearby people who share your actual interests — not just "sports" or "music," but Krav Maga, string quartets, vintage vinyl, or competitive trivia. Tell us what you love, and we'll show you who else loves it too.
WHAT MAKES SIDEKICK DIFFERENT
• Friendships, not followers. Sidekick is strictly platonic. No dating. No swiping. Just real people looking for real friends.
• No toxic feed. No likes, no comments, no follower counts, no ads, no paid content, and no AI-generated posts. Your feed shows only updates from friends and groups you join — nothing else.
• Go deep. Choose from 2,500+ interests across 10 categories. Add personal details like ability level, personality type, and when you like to do things. Our matching goes deeper than any other friendship app.
• Kickits. Post an anonymous open invitation — "Let's go kayaking!" — and see who shows up. It's the easiest way to try something new without the social pressure of going first.
• You're in control. Go public or go private. Filter by age, location, interests, and more. It's your experience.
SAFE AND PRIVATE
Safety is the default, not the upgrade. Bank-grade identity verification through Veriff. Human content moderation. Zero tolerance for bad behavior. No aliases. No bots. Every person is exactly who they say they are.
100% FREE
No hidden fees. No premium tier. No paywall. Create your profile, find friends, join communities, create events — everything is free.
Share an adventure. Make a friend.
It’s very unique, I like that you are able to make groups with people you connect with, and though I haven’t used the “kickit” feature yet, it seems like you can create events which is pretty cool. Great job!
Huge potential
