Sometimes walking alone is very exhaustive and boring but when a buddy joins us, the journey does not seem to bother us anymore regardless of how far the destination is. But finding a walking buddy to commute daily is like finding a needle in the haystack, we won't be able to help you to find your needle but we can certainly help you to find a walking buddy anytime you need. WalkingPal is like Uber but for pedestrians, just as Uber hails on-demand cabs we are going to hail you an on-demand handpicked walking buddy to help you complete your daily commute with fun and joy on foot. Our main mission is to change the way how people cover their last mile, by making walking more fun and the preferred way to commute. Because cabs and auto rickshaws are not available everywhere but you can get a pal anywhere. WalkingPal app is just like the fusion of Uber and Tinder, in the Uber part you can set your destination and the app scans all the nearby walking buddy and in the Tinder part the app lists app the nearby people you can browse through the profile and send them food request. If they accept then the app connects you both and you can start waling together. It's interactive, secure and fun!

When was the last time you missed someone? Maybe you were making a coffee, walking to work, or a piece of music made you think of a loved one. In today’s world, we often hesitate to call or even text because we aren't ready for a full conversation—but we still want to show we care. HugMeter was created to bridge that gap. It’s a low-pressure way to express affection and stay connected, regardless of the distance. How HugMeter Works: - Virtual Hugs: Send a digital squeeze across the world instantly to let someone know they are on your mind. - Measure the Distance: See the physical distance between you and your next real-life hug. - Proximity Alerts: Get notified when a "Hugger" in your circle is nearby and sharing their location. - Custom Groups: Organize your friends and family into groups to control exactly who you share your location with. Your Privacy Matters! We believe affection shouldn't come at the cost of your data. HugMeter is designed with privacy at its core: - Approximate Location: We don’t track you in real-time. You choose how often to share your approximate location—hourly, daily, or only when using the app. - No Personal Data: We do not collect names or email addresses. - Total Control: You can remain completely hidden or delete your account and data at any time from within the app. Whether they are across the street or across the globe, don't miss the moment to tell someone you’re thinking of them.
