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

Organize recurring activities, make plans together and keep the conversation connected to what you're doing. Discover more Find activities, events and people around shared interests. Tidro is designed to make it easier to find something to do — whether you're planning weeks ahead or looking for something more spontaneous. Training when you want it Tidro includes optional training tools for people who want more than simple activity planning. Create training programs, track workouts, exercises, sets, reps and timed exercises, use rest timers and follow your progress over time. Your training can also be part of the rest of your life. Link a workout to an activity instead of having separate entries for "Gym with friends" and "Arm workout" in your calendar. Keep track of what matters See your activity history, training statistics and upcoming plans while keeping everything connected to the people and activities they belong to. Built with privacy in mind Tidro is designed around privacy and user control. We believe your personal life should help improve your experience not become a product sold to advertisers.
