Loafalong

Someone to loaf along with.

Book a friendly companion to keep you company — a walk, a coffee, a queue, or just being there. Strictly platonic: no romance, no sexual services, no dating. Launching in Ireland first.

How it works

  1. Tell us what you need. A stroll by the Shannon, someone at a café, company at an appointment or in a long queue.
  2. Pick a companion. Companions complete three checks: identity verification using government photo ID by our payment provider before their first payout; a short video call with our team before approval, showing government photo ID so we can match it to their face; and two references that we check.
  3. Meet somewhere public. Check in on the app, enjoy the company, check out when you're done.
  4. That's it. No small print about feelings. Just someone to loaf along with.

Our approach to safety

  1. Everyone is 18+. Companions complete three checks: identity verification using government photo ID by our payment provider before their first payout; a short video call with our team before approval, showing government photo ID so we can match it to their face; and two references that we check.
  2. Strictly platonic: no romance, no sexual services, no dating, and no physical contact beyond a handshake.
  3. First meetings always happen in public places.
  4. Check-in, check-out and an emergency contact on every booking.
  5. Easy reporting, real people reviewing it, and permanent bans for breaking the rules.

These are our planned checks for launch; checks cannot guarantee anyone’s behaviour. Payment-provider ID verification is handled by the provider. The video call is not recorded, and we do not store copies of the ID shown or other ID documents ourselves; we keep only a note that the checks were passed.
