Built by travellers,
on the road.

Amigare started in a hostel in Southeast Asia, out of four complaints that turned out to be the same complaint. You meet people properly out here — three nights in a dorm in Pai, a week on the Ha Giang loop — and then everyone's bus goes in a different direction and that's that, with the group chat dead inside a week. Months later you find out somebody you'd have crossed a country to see had been in the same town as you, and nothing told either of you. In between you're running the entire trip across nine apps that have never heard of each other, typing the same dates in over and over. And every few days you arrive somewhere new knowing nobody, with no idea what's on that night or who's around.

None of that is a people problem. Travellers are the easiest people on earth to meet — the problem is that nothing keeps track. All four complaints are the same missing piece: no app knows where you've actually been, where you're actually going, and who else is doing the same thing at the same time. The maddening part is that the answer already exists and nobody was using it. Your booking confirmations are sitting in your inbox right now, and between them they describe your whole trip — every hostel, every night, every city, in order. Amigare is what happens when something finally reads them and joins the dots. It's why we can tell you that you and the person you shared a dorm with in Pai will both be in Siargao on Thursday, when neither of you ever swapped so much as a surname.

It's built for people doing this properly — months or years rather than a fortnight, hostels rather than resorts, no fixed plan past next week. For people travelling alone who'd rather not be, and for people travelling in a group who want to find everyone else. It is deliberately not a dating app, and we've been careful about that from the first day, because the moment it turns into one it stops being useful to the girl who just wants somebody to do the sunrise hike with. Every screen in here answers a question one of us has actually had to ask a stranger in a common room: is this bus a nightmare, is this price a rip-off, does anyone want to come.

And it's built by travellers, which we mean literally rather than as a slogan. Amigare is designed in dorms, tested on bad hostel wifi and argued about on night buses. Every feature exists because one of us needed it and it wasn't there — the visa clock because somebody nearly overstayed, the offline emergency card because almost nobody can tell you their own blood type, the price index because you'll get quoted three different prices for the same scooter in one afternoon. We're not building this from an office with a whiteboard of assumptions about what travellers want. We're building the app we spent the last year wishing existed, and we're still out here using it exactly the way you would.
