Collaborators is now on the App Store
Share what you bring and what you need. We find the people who fit, and the chat opens when you both say yes.

Nine kinds of work. Thousands of skills. One place to find each other.
Sound familiar?
Stop shouting into group chats.
Asking around works if you already know the right people. Everyone else posts, waits, hears nothing, and posts again.
anyone know a good video editor?? 🙏

It’s a Collab!
Theo edits video. Sofia needed exactly that. They both said yes.
Most great things weren’t made alone. The app your team lives in, the song you can’t stop playing, the film that stayed with you for weeks. *Someone* *found* *their* *people* *first.* Now it’s your turn.
Two people.
One overlap.
That’s where the work happens.
How it works
Three steps from
“someone should” to “we did.”
-
01
Say what you bring. Say what you need.
Pick your skills and the ones you’re missing. It takes about a minute, and it is the whole idea: we look for people whose needs are the mirror of yours.
-
02
See the work first.
Every card is a showreel of what someone has actually made, with what they’re looking for and how well you fit, before either of you says a word.
-
03
Say Collab. Start making.
When you both say yes, a conversation opens. No cold messages, no one-sided pitches. Just two people who already want the same thing.
Two-way fit
What you need is what
they bring. And the other way round.
Most networks show you who is popular. We show you who is missing from your project, and whose project is missing you.

Backend
- Needs what you bring. The strongest signal, and the one we weigh most.
- Same pace. Part-time with part-time, all-in with all-in.
- Hours that overlap. Close enough in time to actually talk.
Try it
Your turn.
What do you bring?
Tap a skill or two on each side and watch who rises to the top. These are sample profiles, but it works the same way in the app.

Whatever you’re making
Build. Create. Learn.
Research. Grow.
Build
An engineer, a designer and a marketer ship their first app together.
Create
A creator finds an editor who gets her style on the first cut.
Learn
Two students pair up to learn to code, one evening a week.
Research
A researcher finds a data scientist for the study she couldn’t run alone.
Grow
A producer and a vocalist turn one song into an EP.
From the community
They found their people.
In their words.
“I’d posted in every group chat I’m in. Here, the first person who said Collab had already cut videos like mine. We’ve made twelve since.”
“I build apps; I can’t make them look good. Maya needed an engineer, I needed a designer. The fit said 96%, and it undersold it.”
“Finding a vocalist used to mean a favour from a friend of a friend. Now it’s a Tuesday.”
“The study I couldn’t run alone is happening. My co-author found me because I’d said exactly what I bring.”
“No cold DMs, no awkward pitches. We’d both said yes before we spoke, so the first call was about the shoot.”
“I opened three roles on Monday. By Friday the team was full and we were arguing about fonts.”
“I finally work with a photographer who sees the look before I explain it.”
“I applied to Street Lookbook on a whim. It’s now the best thing in my reel.”

Yes. Joining, connecting, messaging and starting projects are free. Pro adds voice and video calls, shows you who’s interested in you, and gives your work more room on your profile.
Open a conversation with someone you’re connected with and tap the phone for a voice call or the camera for video. Starting a call needs Pro; answering is free for everyone. A call can last up to an hour, with 500 minutes a month. Calls are encrypted, and you can stop people calling you in Settings → Privacy.
Anyone who makes things with other people: engineers, designers, founders, researchers, writers, musicians, filmmakers, marketers and students. If you have a skill and a project, or a skill and no project yet, it’s for you.
You tell us what you bring and what you need. We surface people who need what you bring and bring what you need, then weigh how much time you each have and how far apart you are. Collab Fit sums that up as one number, with the reasons beside it.
No. A conversation only opens when you both say Collab, or when you accept someone onto your project. You can report or block anyone, and a person reviews every report.
It helps, but it isn’t required. Add a few images of anything you’ve made (sketches, screenshots, photos from a shoot) and your card becomes a showreel.
Yes, any time, in Settings → Delete account. Everything, including your photos and uploads, is erased the moment you confirm. Here’s exactly what happens.
Your people are
already here.
