A small software studio, building one good thing at a time.
An independent studio. No sprawling portfolio, no buzzwords - just apps made carefully, for people we can actually picture using them.
↓ here's what we're working onRidgemate
Never hike alone.
Ridgemate matches you with hikers near you for the trails you actually want to hike - on your schedule, with enough info about the other person to feel good saying yes. No twenty-person meetups. No group text that dies by Thursday. Just you, a trail you've been eyeing, and someone who wants to hike it too.
Trail-first, not feed-first
You match around a specific trail, so everyone you meet already wants to be there. No endless scrolling required.
"Anytime" works too
No calendar Tetris. Say you're up for a trail whenever, and flexible hikers find each other on their own time.
Easy to say yes
Selfie verification, visibility you control, real profiles with experience levels. A match is a qualified stranger, not a random one.
Starting where the trails are
Launching in Asheville & Western North Carolina first, with a real trail catalog from day one - then growing region by region.
