## What is roammate?

roammate is a social travel companion that helps solo and small-group travelers find like-minded people, join excursions, and explore local experiences together.

Whether you're backpacking through Southeast Asia, exploring European cities, or discovering your own neighborhood, roammate connects you with travelers who share your interests and are nearby right now.

KEY FEATURES

Find Travelers Nearby
See who's around you in real-time. Browse profiles, check shared interests, and connect with fellow roamers without the awkward swiping.

Join or Create Excursions
Grab coffee, explore a neighborhood, hit a night market, or go on a hike. Excursions are lightweight, low-commitment activities you can join in a tap.

Real-Time Chat
Message other travelers instantly. Share photos, voice messages, and plan meetups. Group and 1-on-1 conversations with read receipts and typing indicators.

AI Travel Concierge
Get context-aware suggestions based on your location, interests, weather, and who's nearby. Like having a knowledgeable local friend in every city.

Safety First
Identity verification, emergency SOS with location sharing, check-in timers, and emergency contacts. Travel with confidence knowing help is a tap away.

Trip Memories
Your excursions, photos, and connections become shareable trip summaries. Relive your adventures and show friends what they're missing.

Build Your Travel Profile
Share your interests, countries visited, languages spoken, and travel style. Your profile is your travel resume.

Bucket List
Track places you want to visit. Discover what other travelers have on their lists. Share completions and inspire each other.

Groups
Join travel communities organized by destination, interest, or travel style. Share tips, plan trips, and find travel buddies.

roammate is for travelers who are currently traveling or about to be. Not a planning tool, not a review site — a live companion for people on the move.

- Weather now carries proper Apple Weather attribution everywhere it appears
- Notification handling is more reliable, and the app reports problems more clearly so we can fix them faster
- Various bug fixes and stability improvements
