What you get today.

Free for every host, in the app on iPhone and Android.

You run the stage.

Talk live while you walk. Bring people on stage, name a co-host, and mute everyone when you need quiet.

Live voice on a walk with Bella, 4 walking together: on stage you as Host, @mayaandmochi as Co-host and @diego.trails as Speaker, @sofia_k listening with a hand up, and the Host controls button beside 1 hand up, above Mute, Push to talk and Leave voice

One link brings them in.

Every walk gets an invite card with a QR code. Send it anywhere, and people join from the link.

The invite card at the start of an open walk: Bella's photo, the line Bella's on a walk right now, join her, three already walking along, a QR code, and Share and Copy link buttons

Plan once, walk every week.

Set the days and time once. Every week gets its own walk, with RSVP, a reminder and a link to share.

Meetups in Packs: Midweek trail miles on Wednesday, Saturday sunrise loop and Sunday pack walk, each with its time, its place and who is going

Questions hosts ask.

What does it cost to host?

Starting a group and hosting walks is free.

Do people need to live near me?

No. Meet in person, or walk at the same time from your own streets, with one roster and one chat.

Do members need the app?

To walk with the group, yes. Tailmates is free on iPhone and Android.

Can a vet clinic host?

Yes. A clinic hosts walks like any group. Tailmates for vets covers the rest.

Who can see my group?

You choose. Public groups appear in discovery and anyone can join. Invite only and private groups need an invitation.

Can I talk to everyone on the walk?

Yes. Live voice lets you talk while you walk, and you choose who speaks.

Where do I get help?

Write to hello@tailmates.io.

Your community starts with one walk.
