Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New here? Drop a pin, find your people. BUDU connects you with professionals, creatives, students and travelers near you — and across 180 countries. Free to join.
BUDU is a global networking community where you meet real people, in real places, for real-world connection.
Whether you're a digital nomad landing in a new city, a freelancer who'd like a coworking buddy, a student looking for a mentor, or just someone who'd rather know who's around than scroll alone — BUDU puts the right person within walking distance.
DISCOVER NEARBY
Drop your pin and instantly see who's around: professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, students, travelers, mentors, freelancers, and community organizers. Filter by industry, skills, language, distance, and member type. Tap a profile to read their bio and reach out.
EXPLORE THE WORLD MAP
Zoom in on any city on earth and see who's open to connect. Planning a trip? Find your future coworking partner in Bali, a yoga teacher in Lisbon, or a startup founder in São Paulo — before you even land.
JOIN THE ACTIVITY FEED
A geo-aware feed of who's doing what, where. Post what you're up to, ask a question, look for a coffee partner, or share a meetup. Reply, react, and turn online into offline.
BUILT FOR REAL-WORLD MEETUPS
BUDU is not a dating app. It's for networking, mentorship, travel buddies, coworking, language exchange, hobby groups, and meaningful in-person community. We have a strict zero-tolerance policy for solicitation, harassment, hate speech and inappropriate content, and we enforce it.
PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN
Your location is only shared with your explicit permission — you choose when you're visible and you can hide instantly. We don't sell your data. We don't run ads in your feed. We don't track you across other apps.
SAFETY TOOLS BUILT IN
One-tap Block removes anyone from your experience completely. One-tap Report sends a moderator review request that's actioned within 24 hours. You can delete your account — and all your data — from inside the app in two taps.
WHO IT'S FOR
– Digital nomads & remote workers looking for a community in every city
– Entrepreneurs and freelancers looking for collaborators
– Students and graduates looking for mentors
– Creatives looking for studios, gigs, and collaborators
– Travelers looking for locals to actually meet
– Anyone tired of scrolling and ready to say hello
Browsing nearby members, viewing profiles, and posting in the Feed is free. Optional credits unlock premium features like priority placement and ad-free reach.
Welcome to BUDU. Drop your pin, write a sentence about who you are, and meet your next neighbour, collaborator, mentor or friend.
