RADIUS — THE IRL MEET-CUTE APP FOR LIFE OUTSIDE YOUR PHONE You see people you’re attracted to every day, yet most people never act on it. In cafés, your gym, parks, at bars – everywhere you’re already living your life. You don’t know if they’re single, interested in you too, or if it’s the right moment to act. Radius changes that. Radius confirms mutual interest in real life, in real time, giving you the yes to walk up and say hi. That’s it. Everything else is real life. HOW IT WORKS • Walk into a third space or park. • See singles in the same space as you in real time. • Send interest to someone you’re attracted to. • Match instantly when interest is mutual. • Go say hi, in person, in the moment. WHAT MAKES RADIUS DIFFERENT Radius works the way real life does. No swiping. No bios. No messaging. No names. Just one photo to recognise the person you’re already looking at in real life. Once you match, Radius tells you to go say hi. If you don’t act on the moment, the moment passes. Radius only works when you’re out in the world — not on your couch. WHERE RADIUS WORKS • Cafés • Bars & restaurants • Parks • Gyms • Saunas & wellness spaces • Laundromats • Museums • Stores & bookstores Put dating back into your hands. Download Radius and know they’re into you too before you even say hi.
