Frith [frith]: An Old English word symbolizing peace, protection, and mutual care within a community. We’re all looking for our Frith—someone to love, to date, friends to hang with, people to help you land that dream job. Maybe you just moved to a new city and need a roommate. The cool thing about being human is that, somehow, we really are all connected—through activities, interests, music… but mostly through people. Frith taps into that magic by helping you discover people in your orbit through your own connections: friends, family, acquaintances, coworkers—everyone you know. Discover the world in your orbit—one connection at a time. Frith isn’t a dating app. It’s not a friend-finder either. It’s something bigger. A grid-based map of your social universe—made up of your actual connections and the people they're connected to. Everyone you see is linked to you in some way. The more people you connect with, the larger your orbit becomes. And from there? The possibilities are endless. No swiping. No strangers. No algorithms deciding who you are. Frith only shows you real people connected to your world—whether that’s someone in your contacts, someone who requested to connect, or someone linked to someone you’ve already connected with. All visible on a simple grid, sorted by who’s closest to you. Request, connect, and expand your orbit Send connection requests to people you see. If they accept, you’ll both unlock messaging—and your orbit instantly expands to include everyone they’re connected to. Customize your profile Upload 4–6 photos and tell your story. Add your bio, activities, status, interests, sexuality, religion, ethnicity, pronouns, gender, hometown, and more. No intentions, only yours. Use your orbit, your way. Whether you're looking for a date, a roommate, a new friend, or just someone who understands you, Frith lets you decide how to connect—without forcing you into a label. Messages and requests, all in one place Inbox includes two tabs: • Requests – where you can accept or decline connection requests • Messages – where you can talk to your existing connections Block and report anytime You’re always in control. You can block or report anyone from your orbit instantly—and just as easily unblock if you ever change your mind. Frith is free Frith is completely free to use. No subscriptions, no paywalls—just an ever-growing web of people around you. Premium features will come in the future. Why Frith? Frith isn’t about collecting strangers or swiping for hours. It’s about finding the people already woven into the fabric of your world. No labels. No assumptions. Just connection—real, wild, unexpected connection. Whether you're searching for love, friends, collaborators, or someone to crash with in your next city, Frith is your guide. Frith is as wild as the universe. It might sound confusing at first, but that’s the magic—it mirrors life. A mystical, magical journey through your ever-expanding world. Find your Frith today.
