Our story
Hobbies bring us together.
Hobbimate helps people across Australia find local hobbimates who share their hobbies, skill level and availability — so spending less time searching means more time doing what you love.
A little about us.
Hobbimate is an Australian social app that makes it easier to find people nearby who enjoy the same hobbies you do. Discover compatible hobbymates, connect at your level and turn shared interests into real-life hangouts.
Every Hobbimate profile is built around what genuinely brings people together — their hobbies, skill level, location and availability. Whether you are looking for something casual, competitive or training-focused, every connection begins with something meaningful in common.
With more than 25 hobbies across sport, fitness, music and outdoor activities, Hobbimate brings your interests together in one place. Available across Australia on iOS and Android, with plans to expand globally. Read the Hobbimate story.

Why choose Hobbimate?
The hobbies we love shouldn't become so hard to enjoy even when life is busy. It is often quite hard to find someone to enjoy your hobbies with, that is why we are here. Our main mission is to help you find someone nearby to enjoy your hobbies with.
Whether you are a beginner picking up a racquet for the first time or a seasoned player looking for a worthy opponent, Hobbimate matches you with the right person at the right time.
We built Hobbimate because we understand the frustration firsthand. Moving to a new city, picking up a new hobby, or simply wanting a regular tennis partner — the options were either awkward Facebook groups or expensive club memberships. There had to be a better way. Hobbimate is that better way: a free, fast and genuinely social app designed around the way Australians actually spend their free time.
