Motherhood has become far too lonely
For thousands of years women raised children surrounded by other mothers, grandmothers and neighbors. Today many of us go through pregnancy and postpartum with nobody nearby going through the same thing, and it takes a toll.

How it works
See the tribes in your neighborhood
Create your profile, tell us what stage you're at (pregnancy, newborn or early years) and open the map to see the tribes near you.
Get verified and join
Take a quick face check on your phone and join the tribe that suits you best. If there isn't one nearby yet, start your own and be the first in your neighborhood.
Chat with your tribe and meet up
Every tribe has its own group chat inside the app, so nobody needs your phone number. That's where you plan the first coffee or the first walk together.
Your safety comes first
Meeting new moms should feel easy from the very first message, so safety is built into every step of the app.
Face check
Before you join or start a tribe you take a quick face check. It runs on your phone, and the image is never stored or uploaded.
Neighborhood only
Your exact location is never shown. Other moms only see your neighborhood.
Chat without your number
Conversations live inside the app, so you never hand your phone number to strangers.
Report and block
You can report or block any profile, and we review every report personally.
Made by a mom who thought giving birth was the hard part
Ha.
After becoming a mom, I found out two things:
- I had no idea what I was doing.
- Nobody was saying it out loud.
I felt lonely. Tired. And honestly, a little cheated.
Until I found other moms in my neighborhood.
Just as lost, just as tired... and with the same ridiculous questions at 3am.
And suddenly everything felt lighter.
That's why I made TribuMama: so you don't have to pretend you've got it all under control when you clearly don't.
Frequently asked questions
What is TribuMama?
TribuMama is a free iPhone and Android app that brings moms from the same neighborhood together in small groups of up to 10, called tribes. Every tribe has its own group chat inside the app, and the idea is that you meet in person.
Is it free?
Yes, it's free. We don't want any mom left out for financial reasons.
Is it safe to meet moms through the app?
To join or start a tribe, every mom passes a face check. Groups are small and private, your exact location is never shown and the chat works without sharing your number. You can report or block any profile, and you decide whether and when to meet in person. For a first meetup we recommend a public place like a park or a café.
How does the face check work?
Before you join or start a tribe, the app asks for a quick check with your front camera to confirm you're a real person. It runs on your phone, and the image is never stored or uploaded to any server. Verified moms get a badge on their profile. You can create your profile and explore the map before verifying.
How many moms are in a tribe?
Up to 10. That's small enough to really get to know each other and to plan meetups without it turning into a project.
Your tribe is already out there, you just haven't met yet
