Loop is the social network for meeting and matchmaking through friends, events, and communities. On Loop, everyone plays matchmaker for their single friends. Singles can also see who their friends know and ask for intros through the app, removing any social friction and making matchmaking easy. In addition to meeting through friends, people on Loop can meet and matchmake through groups centered around events, locations, professional matchmakers, and other communities. Loop groups for coffee shops, gyms, alumni networks, or parties can help maximize the odds that singles connect with someone who they could have met in real life. Loop is free to download and use. Sign up, indicate if you’re single or just there to set up friends, invite your friends, and start suggesting life changing matches!

Link – Dogs by Nature Your dog deserves a social life. Link is the social app built for dogs — connecting four-legged friends, their owners, and the parks where they love to play. BUILD YOUR DOG'S PACK Create a detailed profile for your dog: breed, age, size, personality, energy level, play style, and health information. The more you share, the smarter your matches become. Link's compatibility algorithm suggests dogs your dog is most likely to click with. DISCOVER DOG PARKS See dog-friendly parks near you, added by the community. Join parks, check in when you arrive, and see which dogs are already there. Plan your visits around your dog's best friends — and discover new ones along the way. ORGANIZE PLAYDATES Heading to the park? Create a Group Playdate and let your dog's friends know to join. Friends of friends can see it too — growing your pack with every outing. NEED HELP WITH YOUR DOG? Post a Help Playdate to ask your trusted friends if they can take your dog for a walk or dog-sit while you're away. Choose who helps, coordinate via WhatsApp or phone call, and confirm afterward — earning your helper Paw Points on their profile. SMART FRIEND SUGGESTIONS Our matching algorithm scores compatibility between dogs using energy level, temperament, size, age, shared parks, and mutual friends. The higher the score, the more likely they were meant to be best friends. SAVE ON DOG FOOD Add your dog's favorite food. Link finds the best prices in your area and can coordinate group purchases so you and other local dog owners pay less — together. SHARE & GROW YOUR PACK Share the app with a scannable QR code. Show your screen, let them scan, and your pack grows. No typing, no hassle. AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH & HEBREW Be your dog's best friend — don't be their only friend.
