See each other. Find each other. GOING BEYOND THE FRAME Goneby is the app designed with the essence of missed connections at its core. We give people who have crossed paths in real life an opportunity to connect when circumstances didn't allow them to get to know each other in the moment. NOT JUST ANOTHER APP We don't just talk about privacy, we mean it. Goneby matches user posts, not profiles, based on how much they have in common. With Goneby, users don't have to share their identity or profile to match and start chatting with someone until they feel comfortable. Words matter more than images. YOU ARE IN CONTROL We trust you more than an algorithm to recognize your potential partner, so we're empowering you to express yourself freely and make connections independently. With Goneby, people control (1) the privacy of their posts (2) how they want to match with other posts (3) when and if they want to share their profile and identity with others. JUST POST We've got you covered, wherever it happened. Download Goneby for free today and revive your missed connections.
