Gaydar

A grid built for the full spectrum.

Every connection starts with authenticity. Gaydar is a better grid—built on real profiles, deeper preferences, and smarter matching. No algorithmic games. No spam farms. Just real people, actually looking to connect.

BUILT FOR EVERY IDENTITY
Men, women, trans men, trans women, non-binary, gender fluid—one app, one grid, your rules. Set who you are and who you're into. Your grid fills with people whose preferences line up with yours, so every card is already a possible match.

REAL ACCOUNTS ONLY
Phone-based signup with SMS verification on every account—no email backdoors for bot farms to exploit. Behavior-based spam detection runs in the background to keep your grid clean. Fewer fake profiles, more real people to actually meet.

VERIFIED SELFIE
Build trust at a glance. Take a quick selfie inside the app and we run face validation to confirm you're real—not a screenshot or a photo of a photo. Every verified selfie is visible to every user. Expires after 365 days; update anytime.

YOUR MOOD, YOUR SIGNAL
Set your vibe so you don't have to explain it: Just Chatting, Looking to Hook Up, Down to Hang, Out Tonight, or Preoccupied. A colored dot on your card tells everyone what you're up for right now. Expires after 4 hours.

MATCH DECK
Swipe right to like, left to pass. Match the moment two people say yes. Pull from 10 miles to global—the more you swipe, the sharper your deck gets.

FLUENT IN 190 LANGUAGES
Active Translate runs live, inline, inside every conversation. Type in your language, read in theirs. Voice notes are transcribed and translated in real time. Ships free on every account.

YOUR MEDIA, YOUR WAY
Free: 10 photos, 5 videos (up to 30s each), 1 private vault.
Gaydar Pro: 100 photos, 50 videos, 15 vaults. Drag to reorder however you want.

PRIVACY BY DEFAULT
Every account ships with encrypted messaging, PIN & biometric app lock, unlimited blocking & reporting, vault screenshot protection, distance controls, and Account Break (pause 1–30 days, hide from Radar).
Location Shield keeps your exact location hidden—others see approximate distance only.

COMMUNITY-OWNED. FOREVER.

Owned by the community. Built for everyone in it.
