Other apps want you to be a personality. Hobbiest lets you be a hiker, a potter, a 5 a.m. cyclist, a fermenter, a fly-tier — and connects you with the people who get it.
We'll only email you about early access and launch. No spam, no third parties — see our Privacy Policy.The best friendships, partnerships and crews don't start with small talk — they start in the middle of doing something. A trailhead. A pottery wheel. A studio at 2 a.m. Hobbiest is the place where those things start.
"You are what you do — and the people you do it with."
A profile of activities, not adjectives. We don't care what you'd describe yourself as. We care what you actually did this weekend.
Designed to move people from endless scrolling and dead-end conversations into real-world experiences. If we've done our job right, the app isn't the destination — it's the bridge.
We're not chasing a billion users. We're chasing the people who go deep on the things they love and want to find others who do the same.
Tell Hobbiest what you do — the gear you own, the trails you've hit, the recipes you've ruined. Your profile is a kit, not a bio.
Shared hobbies get the conversation started. Shared availability and people preferences decide whether it actually happens.
Skip the endless DMs. Meet at the trailhead, the studio, the coffee shop, the kitchen counter. Hobbiest steps aside once the experience begins.
AskGuru pairs you with experienced Hobbiests in your craft for real, person-to-person coaching. Stuck on a knot, a chord, a sourdough proof? Ask a guru who's been there.

Closet Goals lets you showcase the things that make your craft yours — from your camera kit to your kitchen drawer. Build it, share it, get inspired by what other Hobbiests are running.

I joined Hobbiest looking for hiking partners. Six months in, I have a climbing crew, a coffee tasting group, and a relationship.
Other apps wanted me to be a personality. Hobbiest let me be a potter who likes 5 a.m. rides. Way better.
AskGuru is the feature I didn't know I needed. More useful surf coaching in two weeks than two years of YouTube.
Hobbiest opens to early-access users this summer. Join the waitlist and we'll send you an invite before the gates open.
