About

How I Met

Features
Read full description

How I Met makes meeting people feel more human, more contextual, and less mechanical. Discover living profiles built around photos, moments, and details that actually make you want to reply. Instead of judging a profile in seconds, you explore a person through what they like, what they share, and what they are looking for. Choose your intention, dating or friendship, adjust your filters, browse profiles, and start a conversation from a specific moment. Messages keep the profile context so the exchange starts naturally. How I Met also includes Moments Call, a voice experience for exploring profiles, moving to the next one, or coming back to a detail without losing the thread. Main features: - visual profiles with moments and photos; - dating or friendship intentions; - simple filters for age, distance, and preferences; - conversations connected to profile context; - voice exploration with Moments Call. How I Met is designed for calmer, clearer, and more natural connections.

About

Two Chairs

Features

One match. Every Thursday. On purpose. Not a queue of forty waiting behind them. Not an algorithm optimising for your next session. One person who genuinely preferred you. HOW YOUR WEEK WORKS A small drop of real people arrives midweek β€” a handful, not a feed. You watch. You listen. Then you quietly choose who stood out. Your picks stay private; nobody sees who you chose. Thursday evening, one match is revealed β€” someone who chose you back. SAY IT, DON'T TYPE IT Three short videos, three prompts. No bio to agonise over and no posed photos β€” just how you actually talk. You see how someone moves and laughs before you ever decide. Personality, not a filter. It's the difference between reading a bio and being in the room. WHY ONE Because attention doesn't scale. Forty matches isn't forty chances β€” it's forty half-conversations and nobody you actually meet. One is few enough to take seriously. A week with a beginning and an end gives a connection your full attention, then hands the rest of your week back. ROLLING OUT CITY BY CITY We open one city at a time, so there are real people to meet rather than an empty map. If yours isn't live yet, you can join the list from inside the app. SAFETY Every profile and conversation includes reporting and blocking. Reports are anonymous and reviewed. You can delete your account, and everything in it, at any time from your profile. Two Chairs is free while we roll out.
