Meet someone
worth the drive

Simple by design,
smart under the hood

Three steps from creating an account to meeting someone for coffee.

1
📍

Set your home base

Drop a pin on the map for your neighbourhood. We use this to calculate real trip times — not misleading straight-line distances.

2
🚶

Discover by trip time

Choose how you get around—driving, walking, biking, or transit—and your feed shows people who are actually close, filtered by how many minutes it takes to reach them.

3

Meet halfway

When you match, Rovaro suggests places to meet that are roughly halfway between you both. Coffee, food, parks, drinks — your pick.

Distance that actually means something

"5 miles away" sounds close until you're stuck in traffic for 45 minutes. Rovaro shows trip time from the start — whether you drive, walk, bike, or take transit — so you always know if someone is genuinely reachable.

  • 🗺️
    Road-aware matching We account for road networks, not just geography. Mountains, rivers, and highways matter.
  • Set your max trip time Filter your discover feed to only show people within X minutes. You set the number.
  • 🧭
    Choose your mode Driving, walking, biking, or transit—see trip times that match how you actually get around.
  • 🏠
