everything in one place

one app to share a route, find a match, and coordinate the ride.

a pickup PIN confirms you got in the right car. report or block anyone, see verification before you ride, and keep emergency help one tap away.

designed around agreement

the handshake

both people see the route, the impact, and the terms before anything happens. hytch is coordination between independent travelers — not a ride you buy.

01
share or find a route

drivers post a route they are already taking. riders post where they need to go.

02
the handshake

hytch surfaces the overlap. the driver offers, the rider accepts. nobody is committed until both say yes.

03
ride & keep records

meet up and go. your route activity and history stay in one place.

no fares. ever.
what hytch is not
no fares or tips
hytch never charges a route fare or processes payments between people.
no surge, no meter
route impact means miles and minutes added — never a route price.
no hired drivers
everyone is an independent person sharing a trip they already planned.
expense sharing
after a route, people may help with expenses directly — outside hytch, on their own.
verification, not vetting
badges confirm a phone or school email — not a background check.
you decide
who, where, and whether to go at all — every step is your call.

going your way
anyway.

share the drive, find your match, and keep it simple.
