FAQs

The Basics

What is TrekMeet?

TrekMeet is an all-in-one community app designed specifically for outdoor enthusiasts. We’re building a single, beautiful platform for hikers, trail runners, and nature lovers to discover events, connect with their community, and organize adventures safely and seamlessly.

How is TrekMeet different from other platforms?

While generic platforms are a great starting point, they aren’t built for the unique needs of outdoor adventures. TrekMeet is purpose-built with integrated features that other platforms lack:

  • GPX Route Sharing: So everyone knows the exact trail.
  • Advanced RSVP & Waitlists: For better event management.
  • Integrated Safety Features: Like live location sharing.
  • Outdoor-Specific Filters: Filter by pace, difficulty, and terrain.
  • Dedicated Organizer Controls: Tools that empower community leaders.

Simply put, you’ll no longer need to juggle five different apps just to organize one hike.

Is TrekMeet only for hiking?

We’re starting with hiking, trail running, urban walks, running and outdoor excursions including camping, but our vision is much broader. TrekMeet is designed for all other kinds of mindful outdoor adventures, including nature photography walks, meditative treks, foraging trips, and even breathwork sessions in the wild.

The App & Timeline

When will the app be available?

We are developing in carefully planned phases to ensure a high-quality experience. Our current timeline is:

  • Closed Beta (for early testers): October 2025
  • Public Beta (on app stores): December 2025
  • Full Feature Release: Early 2026

You can join our waitlist to be notified of every milestone.

Will TrekMeet be free?

Yes. TrekMeet will always have a robust free tier that includes all essential features for members and casual organizers, with zero ads and interruptions. We will also offer a Pro subscription for professional organizers and large communities who need advanced tools like analytics and team roles. Our model is built to be fair, accessible, and community-first.

What platforms will TrekMeet be on?

We are launching on both iOS and Android. A web-based dashboard with advanced management tools for organizers will follow.

For Organizers & Community

I already run a group. Can I use TrekMeet?

Absolutely. TrekMeet is being built with organizers like you in mind. You will be able to easily set up your community, manage your member list, and create events. We are also developing a migration tool to help you seamlessly bring your community over from platforms like Meetup.

Who is building TrekMeet?

TrekMeet is a founder-led initiative by Manish, an experienced product owner and the organizer and community builder behind OZ Outdoors. The project is deeply informed by years of real-world experience leading hikes and a passion for mindful technology. You can read more on our Our Mission page.

Is TrekMeet just for Australia?

We’re proudly starting our journey in Australia, but TrekMeet is being built from the ground up to serve a global community. Whether you’re in the Blue Mountains or the Rockies, our goal is to connect outdoor lovers everywhere.
