Meet FriendingGO Summer 2027

Your people. In real life.

FriendingGO is a little Bluetooth cat for your keys or your bag. Tell Friending what you’re into. When a member who’s into the same things is nearby, both cats light up.

Real. Verified. Safe.

Real people, right where you are. Every member ID-verified. You decide who connects.

In real life

Two cats glow. Two people look up.

Same café, same interests, and until now no way to know. FriendingGO lets you both find out while you’re still there.

What changes

Finding friends used to start with a screen.

Until now

Swipe. Filter. Scroll.

You look for people in a list, inside the app, and hope it turns into a plan someday.

With FriendingGO

Walk. Sit down. Look up.

Set what you’re into and that you’re free right now. If a member who matches is close by, you both find out on the spot.

How it works

Set it once. Then just go out.

Your tags do the searching. You do the hello.

Say what you’re into

Pick your Into tags and switch on Now.

Go about your day

Walk, grab a coffee, sit in the park. Your cat looks for members who match.

Three modes

You decide when you’re open.

Slide the switch on the side of your cat to the green, yellow or red dot. The eyes flash that color once to confirm, and the dot keeps showing your mode.

Switch at the green dot. The eyes flash green once.

The switch always wins. The dot next to it is the mode you’re in.

The cat

Small cat. Big hello.

The Friending cat, made into something you can carry. Small enough for your keys, clear enough to read at a glance.

Eyes that light up for a match

They blink when a match is near and flash your mode’s color when you switch. The rest of the time they’re the black eyes of the Friending cat.

Questions

Good to know before you go.

Do I need the Friending app?

Yes. You choose your Into tags in the app, and that’s where you see who you matched with. Your cat does the noticing.

Do I have to keep my phone out?

No. Your cat nudges you with its eyes and a short buzz. Look at your phone when you want to see who it is.

Who can connect with me?

Only Friending members who share your tags, and only in the mode you choose. In Approval Required you say yes to each person. In Do Not Disturb nobody gets through.

Can people see where I am?

No. A match means someone is close by. FriendingGO doesn’t show your location to anyone.

How big is it?

About 46 mm (1.8 in) across and 11.5 mm thick, the size of a key fob. It fits a key ring, a zipper pull or a belt loop.

When can I get one?

FriendingGO is expected in summer 2027. Preorder now and your price is $30 instead of $59.

Do I pay anything when I preorder?

No. Preordering costs nothing and needs no credit card. We’ll email you when it’s time to order, and you decide then.

Real. Verified. Safe.
