Is this a dating app?

No. Tomo is strictly platonic. Think of us as an on-demand social host or companion for events, dining, and travel. Any romantic or sexual solicitation results in an immediate, permanent ban.

How do you screen companions?

Every companion undergoes a multi-step vetting process, including identity verification matched to a live selfie, criminal background checks, and an initial video intake interview before accepting bookings.

What cities are you launching in first?

We're starting with a handful of cities that solo travelers already love — Dubai, Tokyo, Lisbon, Mexico City, Barcelona and New York are at the front of the queue. Tell us your city when you join and it helps us decide what comes next.

When can I actually start using it?

We're opening the first city to a small, invite-only group of waitlist members in the coming months, then adding cities as we have enough vetted companions to do it properly. You'll get an email before your city goes live.

Is joining the waitlist free?

Yes, completely free, and joining doesn't commit you to anything. We'll only email you about Tomo.

Launching in select cities

A trusted plus one, anywhere you go.

Strictly platonic, always.

Book a vetted local for a wedding, high-end dinner, or exploring a new city. Public venues only. Background checked and insured.

Book a vetted local to keep you company, by the hour or the day. A wedding you'd rather not walk into alone, a high-end dinner that needs a plus one, or a new city you don't want to explore by yourself. Public venues only, background checked, insured.

Meet up and enjoy the day

Book by the hour or day. Pay safely in-app.

Book by the hour or the day. Check in through the app while you're out. Pay when it's done.

Trust & safety

Built safety-first.

Meeting a stranger should never feel like a gamble. Here's exactly what stands between you and a bad afternoon.

Public venues only

Restaurants and event spaces. No hotel rooms or homes.

Every initial meetup happens in a verified public location, restaurants, venues, or landmarks. Hotel rooms and private residences are strictly off-limits.

ID verified, every companion

Government ID plus a live selfie check.

Government ID matched to a live selfie before anyone can accept a booking. No exceptions, no shortcuts.

Strictly platonic, zero tolerance

Zero tolerance for solicitation. Instant bans.

Tomo is company, not romance. Any solicitation or boundary-crossing ends the account permanently, on either side.

In-app check-ins

Scheduled check-ins and booking liability insurance.

Scheduled check-ins during every booking, a trusted-contact share, and a support line staffed while you're out.

Members verified too

Both sides complete identity verification.

Anyone booking a companion completes the same identity verification. Both sides are who they say they are before a meetup is confirmed.

Background checks

Accredited screening, re-run on a schedule.

Criminal and identity screening through an accredited provider, re-run on a schedule, not just once at signup.

Insurance on every booking

Liability cover on every booking.

Bookings are covered by liability insurance, so neither side is carrying the risk alone.

Cancel with a real human

Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.

Plans change. Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead, and support you can actually reach when they don't.

For members

Find a Tomo

Need a local host or an event plus one? Be first in line.

For solo travelers who want a local at the table instead of a guidebook, wedding guests without a plus one, and anyone facing a work dinner or a first night in a new city. Be first in line when Tomo opens in your city. At first, membership is invite-only, then we'll widen access from there.

For companions

Become a Tomo

Get paid to show people around or keep company at events. Set your own hours.

Get paid for the thing you already do well: showing people around, holding a conversation, making a room easier. Flexible hours, your own schedule, paid per booking. Early companions join by invite as we open each city.
