Who Hubbin' Is For

The Newcomer

New to the city, want to meet people

Lucy moved to a new city for work. She loves rock climbing but doesn't know anyone. With Hubbin', she can find climbing groups and builds lasting friendships through her passion.

New City → Instant Community

The Explorer

Curious about new hobbies, but bit shy

John wants to try pottery. Through Hubbin', he finds beginner-friendly activities and discovers people who share his curiosity about trying new things.

Solo Interest → Activity Partners

The Connector

Organises activities, brings people together

Lisa loves bringing people together around outdoor activities. She organises weekly hikes on Hubbin' and creates a thriving community where real friendships grow beyond just the trail.

Organizer → Community Builder

Problems with Social Media

Scrolling through perfect lives and feeling more isolated. Social media promised connection but delivered something else entirely.

Empty Feeling

Dopamine hits from likes and comments don't create real connection. We are watching other people live instead of living ourselves.

Digital Detox Needed

Screen time keeps climbing but satisfaction keeps dropping. It's easier to scroll than to step outside, but the isolation grows.

Performing Online

Posting, chasing engagement, comparing yourself to strangers. When did life become a performance instead of an experience?

"Connected"?

1500 followers but no one to have a coffee with and talk. Often digital connections don't translate to real-world friendships.

There's a better way to meet people. One that doesn't involve algorithms, feeds, or fake engagement.

How to Meet People in Real Life

Real connections happen through shared experiences, not posts. Hubbin' helps you find local activities and hobby groups so you can meet people.

Local Activities

Find activities nearby - walking distance or short drive. Filtered by distance so you only see what you can actually reach.

Based on Interests

Join groups around activities you love - hiking, book clubs, photography, cooking, sports. Meet people through shared passions.

Meet People Offline

No endless chatting or posting. No profile swiping. Just quick coordination and then real-world activities. Real experiences.

Social Activities

Small groups, casual vibes, low pressure. Use the app for 5 minutes to find something, then close it and go. No scrolling by design.

Activities, Not Events. Interests, Not Groups.

Meetup is for formal events. Instagram is for scrolling. Hubbin' is for finding people to do things with - near you.

How Hubbin' Works

Four simple steps to find activities.

1

Open

See local activities sorted by distance and filtered by your interests. Hiking? Book clubs? Photography walks? Find what you want.

→
2

Join

See who's going, quick chat to coordinate details. No profiles to swipe, no algorithms - just people who want to do the same activity.

→
3

Close

Close the app and go to the activity. Experience it together. No phones, no posting - just being present.

→
4

Repeat

After a few activities together, you'll naturally exchange numbers and organise directly.

Designed for 5 minutes in the app. Find something, coordinate, enjoy. That's Hubbin'.

Built to be Active, Not Screen Time

Interest-Based Matching

Find activities around hobbies you already love - or discover new ones. From hiking to book clubs to woodworking. Filter by what excites you.

Distance Sorting from you

Sorted by proximity so you're not wasting time on events 50 km away if you don't want to. Hyper-local by design.

Quick Coordination Chat

Chat is for logistics only - "meeting at 3pm at the trailhead." No endless group conversations. Coordinate and go.

No Feeds, No Scrolling

Zero algorithmic feeds. No posts to scroll. No likes to chase. Anti-addiction by design. Use it for 5 minutes and close it.

Success Means People Graduate

Our Best Users Leave the App

When people find their climbing crew, photography group, or book club through Hubbin', they exchange numbers and organize directly. They don't need the app anymore because they've built real friendships.

That's not a bug. That's the entire point.

We measure success by real friendships formed, not screen time wasted. If you're still heavily using Hubbin' after 3 months, we're failing you.

Week 1: Downloads app, browses activities

Week 2: Joins 3 activities, meets new people

Week 4: Finds core group, goes regularly

Week 8: Makes friends, "graduates" to real life

Questions & Answers

What is Hubbin'?

Hubbin' is a free iOS and Android app that helps you meet people through small, local activities: hikes, board game nights, sport, coffee meetups and more. You join an activity, coordinate in a short chat, then close the app and go.

Is Hubbin' free?

Yes. Hubbin' is free to download and use on iOS and Android.

Where is Hubbin' available?

Hubbin' works anywhere: activities are shown by distance from you. We're launching in Geneva, Switzerland, so that's where you'll find the most activities right now. If there's nothing near you yet, create the first one.

How is Hubbin' different from Meetup?

Meetup is built around organisers and formal events. Hubbin' is for small, casual activities that anyone can create: find people to go hiking or play board games with this week, coordinate, and meet. No feeds, no follower counts.

Is it safe to meet people from Hubbin'?

Hubbin' is for adults (18+). An activity's exact address is only shared with people who have joined it; everyone else sees the city and an approximate distance. You can report or block anyone from an activity chat, and reports are reviewed by our moderators. For first meetups, choose public places. More in our safety standards.

Do I need to keep using the app?

No, and that's the point. Once you've found your people, exchange numbers and organise directly. Success for us is you not needing Hubbin' anymore.
