"Designed to match you, not addict you."
Mainstream dating apps optimise for time-on-app. We optimise for compatibility. No infinite swipe. No engagement-bait notifications. No algorithmic downranking to sell you premium. The matching algorithm is published. The consent framework is open-source. We're building the dating app the kink community deserves — with the kink community, not for it.
