Love doesn't always come in twos. helloPOLY is an honest dating and community for people who love outside the mainstream — openly, and on their own terms. Formerly PolyFinda — same community, new name. How is helloPOLY different from regular dating apps? Mainstream dating apps weren't built for the way you love. helloPOLY is purpose-built for people who are ethically non-monogamous (ENM), polyamorous, or seeking kink — so it's faster to find people who want the same thing, and you spend less time filtering out incompatible matches. Inclusive and supportive of diverse relationship styles, by design. Looking for love? Friendship? Something kinky and fun? Someone to practice shibari or rope bondage with? There's room for all of it here — because there are more ways to love and connect in ethical non-monogamy. And you don't have to confine yourself to one identity: choose different styles of relating that interest you, so you find exactly what you're after and match with people looking for someone like you. New to the ENM or kink scenes, or experienced in both — helloPOLY helps you make real connections. Start meeting like-minded people near you today. Who created helloPOLY, and why? helloPOLY was founded by members of the ethical non-monogamy community to help people explore every form of ENM together. Its open-minded philosophy naturally draws people from the queer, BDSM, and kink communities too — but not everyone exploring ENM is into kink. So the app matches people on shared interests and keeps incompatible profiles out of your feed. It also has a particular focus on shibari, helping riggers and rope bottoms find each other to practice with. For example, if you're after a kinky play partner or a shibari rope bottom, you can filter out every profile that doesn't list kink or shibari as an interest. HOW IT WORKS helloPOLY is free to join — find polyamorous, open, poly-curious, or kinky people near you in minutes. APP FEATURES - Inclusive profiles — choose from over 10 gender identities and relationship styles. - Filter for exactly who you want — hide kinky profiles, or see only the kinksters. Same for shibari, and for monogamous or polyamorous. Your feed, your rules.- So much more than dating — helloPOLY is also where you'll find friendship, love, relationships, and marriage, shibari and kink events, local poly meetups, parties, education, and counselors and therapists who specialize in alternative relating. helloPOLY PREMIUM Go Premium to get the most from helloPOLY: - Unlimited likes — like as many people as you want - Unlimited messages and chat before matching - See who's already liked you - Boosted visibility — add your profile to the feature page for more likes - Go incognito — only people you've liked can see your profile - Superlikes to stand out - Second Chance — revisit a profile you skipped too quickly - Restore archived chats helloPOLY Premium renews monthly unless you adjust or cancel it in your App Store settings.
