Making friends as an adult is hard. GETMATE makes it honest. GETMATE is a friendship app — not dating. There are no profile photos, no swiping, no endless feeds. Instead, you answer a short compass about who you are: your interests, your values, your social energy. Our matching then suggests up to 5 people who genuinely fit you — as friends. WHY IT WORKS • Personality first: matching is based on who you are, not how you look • Your privacy is radical: your free-text answers and values are NEVER shown to other users — matches only see your hobbies, a rough distance and one line about why you fit • Maximum 5 active matches: no collecting, no ghosting economy — every match has room to become a real friendship WHAT'S INSIDE • The Compass: a short, thoughtful onboarding instead of a photo gallery • Chat with games: break the ice with "Would Rather", drawing & guessing, truth or dare, Mau-Mau and real-time Pong • Needle: spontaneous drawing lobbies with other members • Meet: plan a real-life meetup together, with an optional safety check-in • Verified humans: a quick voice check proves there's a real person behind every verified badge — no bots, no fakes • Chat photos auto-delete after 48 hours PRIVACY BY DESIGN No ads. No selling your data. Your compass answers stay between you and the matching — always. Chat images vanish after 48 hours. You can delete your account (and everything with it) anytime in the settings. MEMBERSHIP GETMATE membership is an auto-renewable subscription: €17.99/month or €99/year, with a 7-day free trial for new members. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
