# Introverted People-Avoiding Apps The Avoid Humans App Finds Secluded Places for SXSW Visitors By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-03-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avoid-humans References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2014/03/sxsw-app-least-crowded-locales.html) & [avoidhumans](http://www.avoidhumans.com/index.php) The Avoid Humans app is one of the strangest, funniest and completely typical apps that will be available to users. In a vacuum, the app seems like a creepy anti-social application, but since it’s available for SXSW -- one of the biggest hipster gatherings on the planet -- it’s not really a surprise. This Avoid Humans app tracks the places at the festival with the least amount of people and gives readers that information. Since South by South West is such a packed event, this app could actually hold some major significance for people who need a little bit of space to themselves for a while. Essentially, this is the definition of anti-social media and a pretty good example at that. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Introverted People-avoiding Apps:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop similar apps for other crowded events or tourist destinations to cater to introverted individuals seeking solitude. - **Anti-social Media:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create platforms and tools that allow individuals to disconnect from social media and focus on solitude and self-reflection. - **Personal Space Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore technologies that help individuals find and create personal spaces in crowded environments. ### Who This Affects Most - **Mobile App Development:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build apps that cater to the specific needs of introverted individuals in different situations and environments. - **Tourism and Event Planning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate introvert-friendly services into tourism and event planning, offering options for individuals seeking solitude in popular destinations or events. - **Wellness and Mental Health:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop products and services that address the need for personal space and solitude as part of a holistic approach to mental health and well-being. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Quiet-Locating Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quiet-places-finder.md) - [AI-Powered Socialization Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bu-app.md) - [Customizable Friendship-Forging Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iradius-networking-app.md) - [Upcoming Anti-Loneliness Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phori.md) - [Sexless Social Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sexless-social-app.md) - [Remote Worker Networking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/app-for-remote-workers.md) - [Innovative Activity-Finding Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/we-outside.md) - [Anti-Productivity Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quiet-quitter.md) - [Connective Canine Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-park-app.md)
