Roundmate is an adult social tasting journal for close friends. Start a 30-minute manual check-in when you want to be findable, or use a private timer. No automatic location sharing. No leaderboard. — MANUAL CHECK-INS — Six glass types ready in two taps. Share a check-in with approved friends, with or without a map pin, or choose a private timer. After 30 minutes it disappears. — SAY HI FROM ANYWHERE — When a friend manually checks in, their glass appears in your rail. Send a quick hello without turning it into a contest. — FRIENDS REQUIRE APPROVAL — Sending a request never follows someone automatically. They must approve you before either of you can see friend-only check-ins. — FIND A SPOT, OR JUST BE FOUND — The map shows venues nearby and friends who chose to share a current check-in. No location is shown automatically. — A QUIET TASTING JOURNAL — If you want to remember a pour, you can. A private journal lives in your profile — your notes, your ratings, your glass collection. No one sees it but you. — BUILT FOR CRAFT, NEVER FOR EXCESS — Roundmate is a social moment, not a competition. We don't gamify quantity, we don't celebrate volume, we don't push promotions for alcohol brands. Every core feature works with water. — PRIVACY — Adults of legal drinking age only. Age-gated at first launch. Check-ins are visible only to approved friends you have explicitly added and only when you choose to share the check-in. We do not sell your data. We do not run ads. See our full privacy policy at roundmate.vercel.app/privacy. — RESPONSIBLE DRINKING — If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol, help is available: • United States: SAMHSA 1-800-662-4357 • Mexico: CONADIC 800-911-2000 • Alcoholics Anonymous: aa.org Drink slowly. Drink water in between. Never drive.
