Why we built this

Dating apps were breaking our hearts. So we fixed them.

Tired of guessing if someone actually looks like their photos? Of 47 matches and zero real conversations? Of swiping until your thumb hurts? We were too. Candid is a gentler way to meet people — real faces, real moments, none of the noise.

See the real person first

Every photo is taken live, right now, in the app. No filters, no camera-roll surprises, no 'that was five years ago' energy.

Five people, properly

You can only keep five conversations going at once. Less chaos, more actually getting to know someone. Quality over quantity.

Kindness is public

After you meet, leave an honest review. Great people get the love they deserve — and everyone stays accountable.

Your city, vibing together

Answer one daily prompt with a live photo or 30-second clip, add your song, and see what your city is up to — no match needed.

No stale profiles

Your main photo refreshes every 72 hours. Show up as you are today, or take a breather until you feel like showing up again.

First month is free

Everyone gets 30 days on us, every feature included. After that it's $5 a week — less than a latte, and never paywalled.

How it works

Four steps to actually meeting someone.

01

Snap your real face

Open the camera and take a live photo. That's your profile — no uploads, no filters, no pretending.

02

Browse real humans

See who's actually out here right now. Every photo is fresh, taken in the moment, in the app.

03

Talk like people

Mutual like? Chat opens. Send live photos or clips. No screenshots saved, just real conversation.

04

Meet, then keep it kind

Go out, have fun, then leave an honest review. It keeps the whole community safe and sweet.

Candids

Break the ice before you match.

Every day there's a new prompt. Answer with a live photo or a 30-second clip, add a song, and see how your city shows up. Comment, react, vibe — even before you've matched.

  • A fresh prompt every day, just for your city
  • Live photos and 30-second clips only
  • Add a song from Apple Music
  • Comment and react, even before you match
  • Gone after 24 hours — no highlight-reel pressure

The rules keep it kind

The small guardrails that make a big difference.

Camera-only, always

Profile pics, chat photos, and Candids are all taken live in the app. No camera roll, no screenshots, no surprises.

Fresh face every 3 days

Your main photo expires after 72 hours. Stale profiles pause until you show up as you are today.

Reviews keep us honest

After meeting, both people can leave a review. Good energy gets the credit it deserves — and the community stays safe.

Love shouldn't cost a thing

30 days to find love — On us!

We are offering you the chance to find love completely free for the first month, and if you need to keep going, it's only $5 a week.
