Someone Nearby Sent a Crush

When someone nearby notices you, they can send a Crush describing the moment. If the clues sound like you, simply confirm it’s you. Once both sides confirm the match, the conversation can begin, turning a real-life moment into a real connection.

Choose Your Match

When someone accepts your Crush, their profile appears so you can see who it might be. If more than one person responds, simply choose the person you intended. Once both sides confirm, the match is revealed and the conversation can begin.

It’s a Match

When both sides confirm the Crush, the match is revealed. Now you know who noticed you — and they know it was you too. From there, the conversation can begin naturally, turning a brief real-life moment into a meaningful connection.

Private Conversations

Once a match is confirmed, you can start chatting instantly. Conversations are end-to-end encrypted for privacy, and each message disappears automatically after 24 hours — keeping every interaction light, secure, and in the moment.

What I like most is that it doesn’t feel like a typical dating app. You’re not scrolling through endless profiles. It only really makes sense when you're out somewhere, and that’s what makes it fun.

I tried it with friends while we were at a bar and it was surprisingly exciting. You notice someone, send a Crush, and wait to see if they accept. That moment of not knowing is actually really fun.

The privacy part is what convinced me. Profiles aren’t shown right away, so it doesn’t feel awkward or exposed. It’s just a simple, low-pressure way to see if the feeling is mutual.

Venue Pulse is a clever feature. When you're out you can instantly see which places nearby have people using the app. It makes the whole experience feel more real and dynamic.

The disappearing chat is a great touch. Messages vanish after 24 hours, which keeps conversations casual and relaxed. It feels much more natural than permanent chat histories.
