HOW TO USE

No need to memorize feature names.

Because it’s built on safety and peace of mind, you can meet with the deeper preferences other apps never let you share. You decide who sees what, and when you reveal it. You can change any of it later.

STEP 1 — Get started

Hide before you start searching.

Set these up first and they run on their own. You won’t be found while you’re still writing your profile.

01

Decide first where and when you don’t want to be seen

Set a radius around your home or workplace, and you disappear from lists automatically inside it. You can also vanish by day and time (Aurora and above). Or you can leave the nearby list altogether.

Safe ZoneStealth ModeHide from people nearby
02

Choose who sees each item

Everyone (public) / only your matches (match only) / only when you both open it (mutual item reveal) / just this person (mutual reveal on request) / no one (private: stays anonymous, but is still used for the system’s matching). Choose for each profile item. Your name and face photo stay as anonymous as you want them to be.

03

Keep what you want secret private, and it still leads to meeting people

Whether you’re married, in a secret relationship or coming as a couple — and what you’re open to — you can meet with both sides aware and agreeing, while it all stays secret. Registering and searching for people who match are free, and stay secret too.

STEP 2 — Search and be found

Your match isn’t only the people nearby.

There’s no default search radius. You decide whether to filter by distance. Searching and filtering are free (the Nearby, Nationwide and Recommended lists are unlimited; only the “Search” button for keywords and names is limited, to 30 a day on Free and 100 on paid plans).

04

Search by interests, not distance

Filters are available on every plan. Conditions you register privately are revealed only to people who match and have both agreed, at the same time. Until then, no one can see them.

05

Post where you’re going, in advance

Announce when and where you’re going ahead of time, and people interested in that place and time can find you. Instead of who’s nearby right now, you find who you can meet next. You can save places you visit often.

See who gathers there, and when

On the map, tell apart people who are out right now from people who are heading out later. Move the time slider to see how many will gather at that hour.

STEP 3 — Reach out and meet

Stay anonymous all the way to a meet-up.

You decide when to share your photos and your voice. Until you decide to meet — or even to the end — you never have to reveal more about yourself than you need to.

07

Send a quiet — or clear — signal to someone you like

You don’t need to write a long message; just say what caught your eye. For the one you’ve decided is “the one”, a Top-pick slot makes sure it gets through. And with people you’ve matched with on special preferences, you can keep meeting and talking while staying anonymous.

Photo reveals, on equal terms

We’ve removed the unfairness of one side looking while the other can’t, or a reveal closing before you’ve seen it. Photos, too, can be set to everyone / match only / mutual item reveal / mutual reveal on request. For example, even if the other person closes the reveal, if you haven’t looked yet you can still view it once within 72 hours.

09

Talk safely inside the app

Talk inside the app without giving out your phone number. Calls start with voice and switch to video only when you both turn on “📹 Video ON” (for calls placed by someone on Aurora or above; the number of calls per day and the length of each call depend on the plan). Calls from anonymous chats and from Live Warp are voice only.

Meeting, too, on a basis of trust and peace of mind

From a Future Warp, send an invitation with a date, time and place. The short check-in after you meet is never shown to the other person; it stays as part of your Trust Score.

Turn kept promises into trust

Phone verification, ID verification, and how often you show up on time all add up. Recommendations from trusted people are a separate mark, apart from the score. The app tells you in one line what to do next to build more trust. The score itself is never shown.

Quietly step away from people who aren’t a fit

Before cutting someone off completely, you can keep your distance without them knowing. Even if a bad actor blocks you first, the conversation stays on your screen and you can report it right there.

Soft blockBlockReportYour conversation stays

Searching stays free.

Steps 01 to 06 are all free (only Stealth Mode in 01, “vanish by day and time”, needs Aurora or above). Paid plans add how much you can say and how many you can open.
