## What is Bastinct?

Ever been in a crowded bar, a music festival, or a university event, wanting to connect with someone you see across the room?

Bastinct is the revolutionary offline app that creates a private Bluetooth mesh network with the people around you. Discover, match, and chat with users nearby, even when there's no internet or Wi-Fi.

No signal? No problem.

KEY FEATURES:

OFFLINE MESH: Communicate directly with other devices using Bluetooth. Bastinct works where other apps fail.

HYPER-LOCAL DISCOVERY: See only the people who are in the same physical space as you—in the same room, bar, or event.

INSTANT SPARKS: See someone you like? Send a like. If they like you back after seeing you too, it’s an instant spark.

PRIVATE & SECURE: With no central servers and end-to-end encryption for private chats, your conversations stay between you and your match.

BATTERY EFFICIENT: Designed to be power-conscious, so you can keep discovering without draining your battery.

Bastinct isn't about swiping endlessly at home. It’s about turning a shared glance into a real conversation, right now. It’s the ultimate icebreaker for the real world, built for the moments when connection matters most.

Download Bastinct today and discover who's waiting to connect. The whole room is already online.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1 — 2026-05-07

We are always working to make Bastinct better for you! This update improves the photo setup experience by localizing all validation alerts into Italian. If a selfie is not centered or includes multiple people, Bastinct now provides clear guidance in Italian to help you complete setup quickly and safely.

### 2.0 — 2025-12-29

Welcome Sparks! Starting today, your matches are officially Sparks! Every time interest is mutual, a spark will fly.

Here is what else is new in this major update:

BUG-FREE NOTIFICATIONS: We have permanently fixed the badge bug. Notifications are now precise and update instantly, disappearing automatically when ephemeral chats expire.

STABLE INTERFACE: We’ve improved fluidity in the Nearby and Sparks sections. Browsing profiles is now a faster, more responsive, and seamless experience.

Break the ice today!

### 1.6 — 2025-10-10

We've been listening to your feedback and working hard to improve your experience. Here's what's new:

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR SELFIES: You're in charge! After taking a selfie, a new icon lets you instantly mirror the image. Flip it back and forth to find the angle you like best before saving.

### 1.5 — 2025-09-23

The safety and authenticity of our community is our top priority. This update introduces a new and powerful tool to improve profile quality.

WHAT'S NEW

SMART PROFILE PHOTO VERIFICATION: To ensure more authentic and safe profiles, we've introduced an automatic analysis system. Now, every new profile picture is checked directly on your device to ensure it's a clear portrait of you. We verify that it contains one, centered face (no group photos) and that you're close to the camera, making your profile genuine and recognizable.

Thanks for using Bastinct and for helping us create a better space!

### 1.4 — 2025-09-18

We've listened to your feedback and worked hard to make Bastinct more intelligent and respectful of your privacy. This update includes major under-the-hood improvements and new features for a smoother experience.

WHAT'S NEW

A POLISHED AND PRIVATE FIRST EXPERIENCE: We've completely redesigned your first interaction with the app. You are now invisible until your profile is complete, giving you full control over your privacy. Additionally, the interface is cleaner: you will now see other users only when their profile is fully loaded, picture included, for a flawless visual experience from the very first moment.

FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS

UNBLOCK RELIABILITY: Drastically improved the unblocking logic to ensure an unblocked user can correctly reconnect and see you again.

Thanks for using Bastinct! Keep sending us your feedback.
