Shidduch Circle is a private, invite-only workspace for shadchanim, families, and community members who redt shidduchim — one organized home for every résumé that crosses your phone. ADD PEOPLE IN SECONDS • Photograph a paper résumé — or a whole page of names — and it becomes a profile. • Bring in PDFs and photos from Files, your camera roll, or a Dropbox / Drive link. • Nothing to photograph? Type it in or paste text. AN INTAKE INBOX THAT WORKS LIKE YOU DO • Share your personal submission link; résumés people send land in your Intake inbox. • Review each one, catch duplicates, and accept it into your roster with a tap. SEARCH THE WAY YOU THINK • Ask in plain words — "out of town girls", "learners in Lakewood", "girls in Chicago under 25" — and Shidduch Circle turns it into real filters you can see and adjust. • Instant keyword search across names, cities, and schools. TODAY'S MAZEL • A fresh suggested pairing every day, scored with the reasons spelled out — what works, and what's worth noting before you pick up the phone. • Log promising ideas so no hava mina gets lost. BUILT FOR THE WAY SHIDDUCHIM ARE MADE • Guys and Girls buckets, collections for your short lists, and a Single of the Day. • A full-screen résumé viewer with quick actions: match, list, info, and the document itself — swipe through profiles like a camera roll. • Simchas: keep up with recent engagements and mazel tovs from your circle. • Share a résumé with one tap when someone asks "do you have anyone for…?" TZNIUS MODE • Prefer not to see pictures? One switch covers candidate photos across the whole app — browse, search, and share by name and résumé alone. • Photos stay covered until you choose to reveal them — and printed photos inside résumé pages are covered too. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Invite-only: members join through a personal invite and sign in with Google or Apple. • You see your own slice of the intake desk — every member's queue stays their own. Shidduch Circle is free for members of a circle. Ask your shadchan for an invite, or request access from the sign-in screen.
