NativeBuddy 1.0
Find speakers of your language
NativeBuddy is a map-based community app for Mac users who want to discover people speaking the same language. Useful when you live abroad from your home country.
Explore profiles directly on the map, search by location, language, then open rich profile cards with bios, websites, public contact details, social links, and more. Each person controls how they appear, whether their profile is visible, who can see their location, and whether their pin shows an exact or approximate area.
For the best security, you can only create an optional account from the Mac version.

Required: macOS 14 or a more recent version for the best experience.
Universal binary optimized for Intel and Apple Silicon processors.
Verified and code-signed through Apple’s notarization service to ensure a safe and trusted app. Localized in ten popular languages.
