Background and Purpose Not just romance. Friends, peers, and communities too. According to a national survey on loneliness and isolation conducted by the Cabinet Office in December 2024*1, the percentage of people feeling lonely has reached 39.3%, with people in their 50s showing the highest levels among both men and women. Events influencing this loneliness include "living alone" (18.8%) and "job change/resignation/retirement" (14.7%), indicating that life stage changes significantly impact the social connections of middle-aged and older adults.

While traditional matching apps specialize in 1-on-1 romance, needs such as "wanting like-minded friends" and "connecting with peers sharing similar hobbies" grow significantly after turning 40. In addition to matching features, Tomolier is equipped with a community feature where people gather based on hobbies and interests. Users can enjoy romance, finding friends, and group activities all in one app.

"Tomolier" is a service for adults in their 40s and above that realizes three "connections" - romance, finding friends, and community activities - within a single app.
