No swiping. No feeds. No chat rooms. Tremble is a proximity dating app. You set what you are looking for and switch Radar on when you head out. Radar never starts by itself. While it is on, Tremble works with the app closed, using Bluetooth and a coarse location signal, and lets you know when someone compatible is nearby. You are never pinned on a map. No name, no profile, no position for any person is ever placed on it, and nobody can look you up. Nothing happens unless both people choose it. Waves are one-way until they are mutual. Nobody knows you waved unless they wave back. HOW IT WORKS 1. Build your profile and set what you are looking for. 2. Switch Radar on when you head out. It never starts by itself. 3. Close the app and go live your life. 4. Tremble tells you when a compatible person is nearby. 5. Wave, or move on. If you both wave, it is a match. FOCUSED SESSIONS Run Mode connects you with runners nearby while a session is active. Event Mode connects you with people at the same event. Gym Mode: after you have been at one of your saved gyms for about ten minutes, Tremble sends you a notification. Tapping it turns Gym Mode on. It never switches itself on, and a session expires on its own after two hours at the latest. PRIVACY IS ARCHITECTURE, NOT A POLICY Proximity is worked out on your device. What reaches our servers is normally a single coarse grid cell of roughly 150 x 100 m, which expires 24 hours after it is written. No other user can ever read your cell. While your radar is on it is counted into aggregated crowd circles, which show only how many people are active in an area and appear only once at least five people are there. Exact coordinates are used by one feature only. After two people have matched, each of them can choose to switch on Precision Finding to help them meet. Those coordinates expire after two minutes, and nobody can read them: not us, not your match. Safe Zones: choose places where you are not discoverable. Your zones stay on your phone and are never sent to us. Hide from Contacts: hide from people already in your contacts, and they are hidden from you. The protection is always mutual. Your photos are protected: screenshots and screen recording are blocked wherever another person's photo appears. YOUR RULES Unmatch, block or report anyone at any time. Every uploaded photo is screened before it can appear on a profile. Decline Bluetooth, Notifications or Location, any or all of them, and the app stays fully usable. Delete your account from Settings whenever you want. Available in eight languages. SIGNAL PRIME Tremble is free to use.

Flow finds you people worth talking to. Tell Flow what you're looking for — a coffee date, a running buddy, someone who gets your major, a co-founder — and it goes looking. No swiping through hundreds of faces. No writing a profile that reads like a resume. Just say what you want in plain words and let it match you. HOW IT WORKS Say it in your own words. "find me a running buddy." "anyone in Philly tonight?" "someone who can hold a conversation." Flow reads what you actually mean. Get matched with a real person. Flow introduces you both and gets the conversation started, so you're never staring at an empty chat box wondering what to open with. Talk. Then decide. Every match is a real conversation with a real person. If it clicks, keep going. If it doesn't, say the word and Flow finds someone new. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most apps hand you a grid and make you do the work. Flow does the looking for you. It learns what you like from how you actually talk — not from a checklist you filled out once and forgot. Matches come with an opener, so the first message is never the hard part. You can chat before you commit to anything. Look around first. WHAT YOU CAN USE IT FOR Dating, if that's what you're after. Friendship, if it isn't. Study partners, gym partners, pickup basketball, someone who misses home as much as you do, someone to explore a new city with. Set how far you're willing to go, who you'd like to meet, and the age range that makes sense for you. Flow is for people 18 and over. Questions? contact@helloflow.app
