JamFan

Flyers, dead forums, group chats that go nowhere — finding people to play music with shouldn't be this hard. JamFan is a matching app built for musicians: tell it what you play, what you're into and how serious you are, and it matches you with compatible musicians nearby. Matching runs on actual musical compatibility, not keyword filters — the engine understands that a shoegaze guitarist and a post-punk drummer probably have something to talk about. Profiles aren't just photos: every musician card plays a 60-second video showcase and a 30-second audio demo before you ever match. And if you're a drummer in one band and a producer at midnight, create a separate musician identity for each and match as the right you. Once you match: real-time chat with reactions, photos and voice notes, group conversations for planning rehearsals, and a feed for demos, gig posters and 2am bridge ideas. Everything is local-first — set your location and travel radius and JamFan keeps matches within reach of an actual rehearsal room. Free on iOS, Android and web.
