INTRODUCTIONS WITH YOU IN MIND Your background, values and preferences matter. Tell us about yourself and what you are looking for. Receive a personal introduction, explore their profile and decide privately: meet for coffee, or not this time. YOU BOTH CHOOSE A date starts with two people saying yes. Accepting an introduction means you are open to meeting for coffee. You can decide how you feel when you meet. WE HELP WITH THE PLANS Once you both want to meet, your concierge helps you agree on a time and a local public cafe. Your first Coffee Date is one-to-one, for about 60 minutes. SEE WHERE IT GOES After your date, tell your concierge privately whether you would like to meet again. If the interest is mutual, we let you both know. Your chat stays open, and you decide what comes next. YOUR PHOTO STAYS PRIVATE Your introductions feature an AI Coffee Portrait you choose. Your original photo is not shown to other members. Coffee Portraits are illustrations, not identity verification. You can decline an introduction, block someone or report a concern. SIMPLE, CLEAR PRICING Registration and introductions are free. Men purchase Coffee Date Tickets after both people confirm their first date. Local prices and cancellation terms are shown before purchase. Women pay no service fee during the launch offer in eligible markets. Cafe food and drinks are separate. No subscription. Talo is for adults aged 22 and over. Check the app for available communities and meeting areas. Introductions and dates depend on mutual interest and local availability and are not guaranteed. Come for coffee. See where it goes.
Offline Blind Date
This app facilitates a unique matchmaking service where introductions are made by hand, not algorithms. Users receive a physical invitation to join, then scan it into the app to create a profile with photos and voice answers. The service then arranges a real-life first date with a vetted individual.
- Invitation-only access
- Hand-matched introductions
- Profile creation with photos and voice
- Vetted dates in chosen venues
- No profile feed, real-life first meetings

Invite only. Offline is the member-side app for a curated introduction service. Every match is made by hand, not by algorithm. How it works 1. Receive your invitation. A printed paper form is given to you in person — it is your invitation card to the service. The app cannot function without it. 2. Scan it. The app reads what you wrote and lets you confirm or correct the result. 3. Tell us about yourself. Answer a few short questions, choose your vibes, upload a few photos, and record three short voice answers. 4. Submit your profile. The team reviews each submission. 5. Wait for an introduction. A matchmaker reads everything and pairs you with one person worth meeting. 6. Confirm your time slot. When a match is proposed, you receive a push notification and open the app to confirm or decline. Your first confirmation is also where you lock your spot. Both members in the pair must confirm in their own app before the introduction is locked. 7. Show up. A letter arrives with the date, time, and venue. What you get • A real first date with someone vetted, in a venue we picked. • A matchmaker who reads every profile by hand. Who it is for • People who would rather meet one person properly than message twenty strangers. • Anyone who would trade a feed of profiles for a physical letter. What we do not do • We do not show you a feed of profiles. The first time you see your date is at the table. • We do not sell your information. Read our privacy policy at theoffline.app/privacy. The app's primary purpose is to give each member a private workspace for capturing the data — preferences, profile, voice, photographs — that we use to arrange their offline introduction, which is the goal of the service.
