Partly fits

Pugamochipartial · 55

It’s a fun digital companion that uses gamification to keep you engaged and encourages you to go outside and live your life, which can help with the “feel better while alone” part, but it’s not primarily positioned as an anti-boredom tool.

Won’t cover: Works more like motivation for being active than a direct boredom-filler for staying engaged while your partner is away.

ATAYA : Activities, Matchingpartial · 45

It focuses on booking activities and finding leisure partners with shared interests, which could help you stay engaged when alone, but it’s not centered on solo mood support and boredom directly.

Won’t cover: Prioritizes finding someone to do activities with rather than giving solo anti-boredom ideas.

Bock - Activity Partnerspartial · 43

It’s designed to post an activity and find friends to join, which can reduce boredom by creating plans and social options, but it’s not positioned as a solo engagement or mood tool.

Won’t cover: Relies on finding others to join activities rather than supporting you with solo engagement when bored.
