FlrtAlert is the ambient proximity dating app -- Find My Friends meets serendipity. Instead of endless swiping, FlrtAlert quietly runs in the background and alerts you in real time when someone compatible is physically nearby. HOW IT WORKS Set up your profile, preferences, and discovery radius. FlrtAlert monitors your surroundings and pings your phone when a match walks into range. No more missed connections. WHAT MAKES FLRTALERT DIFFERENT - FlrtAlert Nudge: engage with potential matches BEFORE either of you has to swipe. Send a low-pressure nudge first, see if there is interest, then connect. Unique to FlrtAlert. - Real-Time Proximity Alerts: instant notification when a compatible match is nearby. Live your life. FlrtAlert does the watching. - Home Privacy Zone: your home location is automatically fuzzed using GPS scrambling so nobody can pinpoint your address. A safety feature unique to FlrtAlert. - Ghost Mode: go fully invisible with one tap, anytime. - Smart Matching: filter by age, gender preferences, and exact distance radius. - Real-Time Chat: message your matches the moment sparks fly. With read receipts and typing indicators. - Night Mode: automatically pause location sharing while you sleep. - Panic Button: one tap sends your GPS location to your emergency contact. BUILT FOR SAFETY Your precise coordinates are NEVER shared with other users. Only approximate distance is shown. Background location is encrypted at every step. HOW WE USE LOCATION FlrtAlert needs background location access to deliver proximity alerts when the app is not actively open. You can disable location anytime in settings or activate Ghost Mode for full invisibility. FOR ADULTS 18+ FlrtAlert is for adults seeking genuine human connection in the real world.
