Now & next
Sonder is already growing
The first version is live: map your niche, see who shares it nearby, step into rooms, and connect only when you both choose to. Here is what is here now, and what we are shaping next.
Already here
Your living interest tree
A root-map with you at the centre. Add what you love, follow where it leads, and trim branches whenever your curiosity shifts.
Start mapping →Conversations that shape your map
Tell Sonder what you are drawn to and it asks gentle follow-ups, turning a passing thought into a whole branch of related interests.
Begin a conversation →Nearby kindred spirits
See how your interests overlap with people around you — by neighbourhood or city, never exact location. Find both the familiar and the complementary.
Discover →Rooms around your interests
Open or join a room at any depth of your tree. Each one has conversation, a shared question, a shelf of finds, meetups, and a mutual nudge before anyone reveals themselves.
Browse rooms →Sonder for groups
Universities, schools and workplaces can ringfence their own Sonder space. Members get join codes, printable posters, QR invites and self-serve plans.
Find a group →A single account
One profile, one photo, one home area and a set of privacy choices that travel with you inside groups and out.

On the horizon
Self-serve group billing
We are shaping checkout, invoices and a billing portal so a circle can start small, upgrade when it grows, and pause without losing its history.
Verified groups
A way for universities, schools and workplaces to show their circle is the real one — through email or domain checks — so members know they are in the right place.
Quiet notifications
A gentle nudge when a room stirs, a meetup is proposed, or someone reaches back across a mutual reveal. Nothing noisy.
A home on your phone
PWA install, offline drafts, and tree editing that feels as natural as messaging. Your map, in your pocket.
Niche drift
A soft record of how your tree changes over time, and who changed alongside you. Interests are rarely fixed; we want to honour that.
Try what is already here
You do not need to wait. The live parts of Sonder are free to explore.
Tell me when the next thing ships
One quiet email when self-serve billing, verified groups, notifications or the mobile experience arrives. Nothing else.
