flare: dating app

Flare is real-time, location-based dating. Instead of swiping on people who might be miles away or haven't opened the app in weeks, you meet people who are at the same place as you, right now.

HOW IT WORKS

• Find a flare
Open the map and see flares near you. A flare is a live, time-limited meetup spot at a real venue such as a café, bar or event.

• Check in
When you're there, check in. You'll see everyone else checked into the same flare at that moment.

• Swipe and match
Like the people you'd want to meet. When it's mutual, it's a match.

• Chat before it expires
Matched chats stay open while you're both at the flare, so connect before the location expires. No endless pen-pal conversations, just real people nearby.

MEET SOMEONE NOW WITH RANDOM MATCH

Feeling spontaneous? Join the Random Match queue and get paired with someone nearby. You both have a few seconds to confirm, and if you both say yes, you're matched.

SPARKS

Share a photo or short video with everyone checked into the same flare. Sparks disappear on their own after 1 to 3 hours, so you can show the vibe without leaving a permanent post.

VERIFIED PEOPLE ONLY

Every Flare account is verified before it can be used:
• Phone number verification with a one-time code
• Strict 18+ age requirement
• Selfie liveness check, so the person you see is a real person

YOUR EXACT LOCATION STAYS PRIVATE

Other people only see that you're checked into the same flare. They never see your coordinates.

SAFETY BUILT IN

• Report or block anyone from their profile or from a chat
• Manage your blocked list at any time
• Delete your account and data from inside the app
