Leaving

You are never stuck on a call.

A blind date is one call. From about a minute and a half in, you can end it whenever you like. At four minutes it ends on its own.

How it works

A call, an answer, a decision.

Five steps, from picking a path to swapping contact details. Nothing happens unless you both say yes.

  1. Pick a path

    Mixer, Perfect Match or Smart Match. Each one works out who to put you on a call with in a different way.

    See the three paths

  2. Take the call

    One call, 1–4 minutes, audio only. Neither of you knows who the other is. It counts down at one minute left, then again at 30 seconds.

    In call

  3. Answer the same question

    When the call ends you both answer the same question. There are three answers: “I’m interested”, “Let’s talk again” and “I’ll pass”.

    What happens, answer by answer

    They say
    You say Interested Talk again Pass
    Interested MatchAnother callIt ends
    Talk again Another callAnother callIt ends
    Pass It endsIt endsIt ends

    • A match

      only when you both say “I’m interested”

    • Another call

      when the more cautious answer is “Let’s talk again”

    • It ends here

      the moment either of you says “I’ll pass”

    Most cautious wins The more cautious of the two answers decides. A one-sided yes never makes a match.

    Feedback is a separate step. Giving it after a call is compulsory. Reading the feedback you get back is your choice.

  4. Talk again, up to three times

    At most three calls with the same person, inside a two-week window. On the third you decide either way.

    The window

  5. Swap Smart Match Cards

    Two “I’m interested” answers make a match. You swap Smart Match Cards and carry on off the app.

    What a match reveals

Three paths

Same call. Three ways in.

Every path leads to the same thing: one short blind date. What changes is how we pick the person on the other end of it.

Every path runs blind. The call is audio only and you stay anonymous on it.

  • By chance

    Mixer

    The quickest way onto a call. We put you with someone at random.

    Matched on

    • Age
    • Gender
    • Location
    • Sexuality

    After that it's random. No questionnaire, nothing to set up.

  • By preference

    Perfect Match

    You say what you're like and who you're looking for. We match on that, from both sides.

    The call opens with something like

    You both said you'd rather be outside.

  • By science

    Smart Match

    You take a real Big Five personality assessment instead of picking a type for yourself. We match on how you actually answered.

    You earn your own report as you answer. The questions pay you back whether or not you go on a call.

    What your report looks like Example

    • Extraversion

      Lower

    • Agreeableness

      Higher

    • Conscientiousness

      Typical

    • Emotional Stability

      Typical

    • Openness

      Higher

    A made-up profile, to show the shape.

Inside the app

The call, and what comes after.

A countdown while you talk. A name and a way to reach each other once you have both said yes.

  • On the call

    The clock runs down in front of both of you. When it reaches zero the call ends on its own.

  • When you’re both interested

    A name and a way to carry on talking, swapped at the same moment. You take it from there.

When it’s mutual

What a match actually gives you.

You swap cards. A display name, and the contact handles you chose to put on yours — that is everything a match hands over, and enough to carry on somewhere else.

Smart Match Card

Kelvin

Matched on your third call

  • WhatsApp +27000000000
  • Instagram @kelvin.zyx
  • TikTok @kelvnzyx

WhatsApp is always on the card. Instagram, X, TikTok, Facebook and Snapchat are yours to add or leave off.

An example card. Yours carries the display name and handles you choose.

  • At sign-up there is no photo field, and no album to fill.
  • Calls are audio only, 1–4 minutes. You hear a person, not a picture.
  • If it isn’t mutual, nothing is shared — not the display name, not a single handle.

Safety and conduct

The same rules, every call.

Short calls only work if everyone knows where they stand. So the app says it out loud — before you connect, and after you hang up.

The conduct rules

Never

  • No sexual content
  • No abuse
  • No illegal activity
  • No selling or promoting

On the call

  • No sensitive personal details
  • No location details
  • No long dead air

  • Before the call

    A mic check, then the rules

    You test your microphone, then the rules come up on screen. Not once at sign-up — every single call.

  • Any time

    Reporting stays open

    You can report someone while you are still on the call, or afterwards. That includes something you only work out later, once you have matched. Catfishing and abuse are both covered.

  • After the call

    You always leave feedback

    It is part of hanging up, not an extra step. We ask for civil but honest. Whether you read the feedback about you is your own choice.

  • After you match

    One match at a time

    You hold one match at a time, and there is a cooldown before you go again. The app is built to stop match-farming and to push you to follow through on the connection you found.

Questions

Straight answers

What people ask before they sign up. Where something is not settled yet, it says so.

  • How old do I have to be?

    Eighteen or older. You give your date of birth when you sign up and the app checks it before it lets you in.

  • What do you ask me for?

    Your email address, a phone number, your first name, your date of birth and where you are. Then a few things for matching: your gender, your sexuality, the language you prefer and the age range you are after. Last, your Smart Match Card — the name and handles you would hand over if you match.

  • What if there is nobody to talk to?

    You wait in the waiting room until someone is there. You do not have to sit and watch it — leave the app and we will let you know when you have been matched.

  • Is this only for dating?

    Mostly, but not only. You can say you are looking for friendship instead — useful if you are already in a relationship, or simply are not looking for romance right now.

  • What will it cost?

    We have not decided. Nothing is for sale, and we would rather tell you that than name a number we then change.

  • When can I use it?

    We do not have a date. The app is still being built, and we are not going to name a month we might miss. This is where you will hear about the beta first.
