A grid built for the
full spectrum.
A better grid, built on real profiles, deeper preferences, and smarter matching. Every connection starts with authenticity.
Hate annoying, spammy bots? So do we.
Every Gaydar account is tied to a real phone number, not a throwaway email. Phone numbers are far more expensive for bot farms to acquire than email addresses are to spin up in bulk, which is why phone-based signup cuts fake accounts by up to 80% right at the door.
And when something does get through, our abuse-detection systems watch for the behavior patterns real people never exhibit and flag or remove those accounts automatically. So your grid stays clean.
- SMS verification on every signup. No exceptions.
- No login-by-email backdoor for spam farms to abuse.
- Behavior-based spam detection running in the background.
- Fewer fake profiles in your grid, more real people to actually meet.

Set your grid.
It's that simple.
I'm a man interested in men and trans men.
Your grid fills with men and trans men whose own preferences include men. Every card is already a possible match.
Profiles shown are illustrative.
Tell Gaydar who you are and who you're into. You can pick one preference or every one. Your grid fills with the people whose preferences line up with yours, so you only interact with the gender identities you want to interact with.
- Men, women, trans men, trans women, non-binary, gender fluid
- Cis and trans modifiers on every identity
- Select one preference or many. Your grid adapts instantly.

More verified faces than any other grid.
Verified Selfie is our way of building trust. Take a quick selfie inside the app and we run a face validation check to confirm it's a real person, not a screenshot or a photo of a photo. Every verified selfie is an authenticated image of the person using the account.
Every verified selfie is visible to every user on Gaydar. Tap the badge on any profile to see a recent photo of the person you're talking to and confirm it's really them. Selfie verification expires after 365 days, and users can update their verified selfie at any time.

Say what you're up for. Without saying it.
Let others know your vibe right now.
Set a mood from your profile or from any chat. A small colored dot on your card tells everyone what you're actually up for right now. Skip the “so what are you looking for?” opener on every chat.

Instant connection,
in your radius.
Swipe right to like, left to pass. A match happens the moment two people say yes. Set how near or far you want your deck to pull from, and as you swipe, the algorithm gets sharper about who it puts in front of you next.
- Swipe right to like, left to pass
- Radius from 10 miles to global. You choose.
- The more you swipe, the smarter the deck gets
- Match means you're both into each other.

Fluent in 190 languages.
Live. In-thread.
Type in your language. Read in your language. The translation happens live, inline, between every message. No copy-paste, no side-app, no awkward silences. If you can match across the world, you can talk to them too.
- Type and read in your own language, always.
- Voice notes sent in another language are both transcribed AND translated in real time. Nothing else does this.
- Active Translate ships free, not as a Pro upsell.

Find the queer spaces around you.
See which bars, clubs and cafés near you are busy right now. Tap one to see who's checked in, and which of your matches are going tonight.
Turn on pings and Gaydar tells you when a good match is close by, but not who. Wave, and if they wave back, you both find out.
- Show your check-in to everyone on IRL, just your matches, or no one. It ends on its own after 1 to 4 hours.
- Stealth Mode lets you browse the map without showing up on it.
- Set a Quiet Zone around home, and the map never shows you there.
IRL isn't available in every country.

Your exact location is never exposed.
No matter where someone checks from, they only see the same general area. Your actual location stays hidden.
Other dating apps have been caught leaking users' exact locations. Someone nearby could figure out precisely where you are. We designed Gaydar so that can never happen.
We round your location to a general area instead of using your exact spot. Other people only see an approximate distance, not where you actually are. No matter how many times someone checks, they only ever see the same general area. Your precise location never leaves our servers.

So what makes us different?
If someone on another app asks you why you switched, this is the answer, in eight pieces.
Built for every identity.
Men, women, trans men, trans women, non-binary, gender fluid. One grid, one app, and your preferences decide what it shows.
