Why Frienta?

Making friends as an adult
shouldn't be this hard

We get it. After school, making genuine friends feels almost impossible. But it doesn't have to be.

Social circles shrink

After college, friends scatter. Work takes over. Your social circle becomes your coworkers — and that's about it.

Awkward first moves

Walking up to a stranger and saying "hey, want to be friends?" feels weird. And dating apps? Wrong vibe entirely.

No time for random hangouts

Between work, errands, and exhaustion, who has time to repeatedly show up somewhere hoping to meet the right people?

Finding your people

You want friends who share your actual interests — not just whoever happens to live nearby or work down the hall.

Frienta changes everything

We built Frienta because we faced the same problem. It's designed specifically for finding genuine friendships — no romantic pressure, no awkwardness, just real connections with people who share your passions.

Features

Built for real connections

Every feature is designed with one goal: helping you find and keep genuine friendships.

Smart Location Matching

Find people close enough to actually meet up. Set your discovery radius from 1 to 100 km, and only see profiles within your range. No more "matches" that live 3 time zones away.

  • Adjustable discovery radius
  • Privacy-first location controls
  • Approximate distance shown, never exact location

Interest-Based Discovery

We match you based on what you actually care about. Choose from hundreds of curated interests to find people who want to do the same things you do.

Real-Time Chat

When you match, start chatting immediately. No waiting, no games. Our messaging is instant, reliable, and designed for planning meetups.

Propose New Interests

Can't find your niche hobby? Propose it! Our community-driven interest library keeps growing with suggestions from users like you.

Travel Mode

Heading somewhere new? Set your location to any city and start matching before you even arrive. Never explore a new place alone again.

Privacy You Control

Choose exactly how much to share. Show precise distance, approximate area, or stay hidden from discovery while you browse.

Real Stories

Friendships that started here

★★★★★

"I moved to a new city at 32 and knew absolutely no one. Within a month on Frienta, I had a regular board game group and two people I now consider close friends. This app actually works."

"After having kids, all my friendships faded. Frienta helped me find other parents who actually want to do stuff besides talk about kids. We go hiking every other weekend now."

★★★★★

"I'm introverted and hate bars. Frienta let me find other introverts who want to hang out in smaller, quieter settings. Finally an app that gets it."

"The loneliness epidemic is real. Frienta is one of the few apps I've seen that's actually trying to solve it in a thoughtful way."

FAQ

Questions? Answered.

Yes! The core experience — discovering, matching, and chatting — is completely free. We offer an optional Frienta Plus subscription ($9.99/month) that unlocks Travel Mode and the ability to undo swipes, but you can make meaningful connections without paying anything.

Nope! Frienta is built specifically for platonic friendships. Our entire design, from the interest matching to the conversation starters, is focused on helping people find friends — not dates. Think of it as the friendship version of those other swiping apps.

Your exact location is never shared with other users. You can choose to show a precise distance, an approximate area, or hide yourself from discovery entirely. We use your location only to find nearby matches and always show rounded distances like "about 3 km away."

You can block and report any user instantly. Our moderation team reviews reports quickly, and we have zero tolerance for harassment, romantic advances, or inappropriate behavior. You can also unmatch at any time, which removes your entire conversation history.

Frienta is for adults 18 and older. Our most active users are between 25-45, but we have thriving communities in every age bracket. You can set age preferences in your filters to match with people in your preferred range.

Frienta works worldwide! We have active communities in over 50 countries. The app works best in urban and suburban areas where more users are nearby, but we're growing every day. Download and see who's in your area!

Stop scrolling. Start connecting.

Your next great friendship is waiting. Download Frienta and find out who.
