tomo[toh-moh] noun • a vetted companion for events, dining, & travel.

Solo travel

A platonic travel companion, wherever you land.

Solo travel is brilliant until dinner. Tomo lets you book a vetted local companion by the hour or the day, so you get a city insider and good company without joining a group tour or downloading a dating app.

Local company, not traveller matching

Most travel-buddy platforms pair you with another tourist heading the same way, or slot you into a fixed group itinerary. Both are compromises: you plan around someone else, or you follow a script.

Tomo works differently. You book a local for the hours you want. They know where to eat on a Tuesday, which gallery is worth it, and how to get you into the part of the city that guidebooks skip.

Strictly platonic, and that is the point

People searching for a platonic companion app are usually reacting to the same thing: everything social has been collapsed into dating. Tomo is explicitly not that. Any romantic or sexual solicitation ends the account permanently, on either side.

It means you can book a companion for a long dinner or a full day out and know exactly what the arrangement is.

Safety built for meeting strangers abroad

Every companion is ID verified against a live selfie, background checked through an accredited provider, and interviewed on video before their first booking. Members verify their identity too.

Initial meetups happen in verified public venues only. Scheduled check-ins run through the app with a trusted-contact share, and every booking is covered by liability insurance.
