First they want your email. Then your phone number. Then your exact location. Then your wallet. Then they call the basics "premium."
Trick Dash starts somewhere else: a free LGBTQ+ social and dating app for messaging, groups, venues, events, travel, and community, without handing over half your life first.
No email. No phone number. No subscription wall. Fuzzed location.
Open Trick Dash, create a profile, and start connecting without giving us your email, phone number, or a password you will absolutely forget.

Why we exist
Built for connection, not collection.
Most apps ask for more than they need. Trick Dash starts with less: less sign up friction, less data collection, less location anxiety, and less paywall nonsense.
1
No email required
Your inbox has suffered enough. Sign in with a passkey instead.
2
Core tools stay free
Messaging, filters, group chats, private albums, read receipts, and live translation are included. Radical, apparently.
3
A community map
Profiles, venues, events, and travel tools in one view, because your scene is bigger than a grid.
4
Use it your way
Open it on the web, get it on Android, and watch for iPhone soon. She is almost ready.
Discover
Your scene, two ways.
Use the community map when place matters. Use the profile grid when you want a cleaner view. Options are chic.
🗺️
Community Map
Profiles, LGBTQ+ venues, events, and community spaces together on one map. Tap for details, directions, and what is happening around the scene.
📷
Photo Grid
A clean visual view of community profiles, with photos, names, and the details people actually chose to share. Imagine that.
📍
2,400+ Curated Venues
A handpicked guide to LGBTQ+ bars, clubs, cafes, bookstores, and community spaces across hundreds of cities. Yellow pins for venues, gold pins for sponsored partners. Very civilized.
🔎
Search by Handle
Look up a public handle from Instagram, X, Bluesky, or TikTok. Results never reveal a person's map location.
👀
City Dashboard
Tap a city to see local activity, visitors, venues, and events. Plan before you land, or get reacquainted with the scene at home.
Connect
Connection without the upgrade wall.
Message, wave, favorite, share albums, join group chats, or link your partner. The basics are not a luxury item.
💬
Chat that feels alive
Real time chat, photo sharing, message actions, and no upgrade wall lurking in the corner.
👥
Group chats for your scene
Start a group chat for friends, trips, events, chosen family, or your local crew. Built into the app from day one, because sometimes the group chat is the main event.
🌐
Live translation built in
Talk across languages without turning every message into homework. Translation works across 20 languages and keeps tone, slang, and emoji in mind. How translation works.
🎞️
GIFs and reactions
GIFs, emoji reactions, and the tiny drama of a perfectly timed response. Built into chat, no third party keyboard required.
📸
Private albums you control
Share selected photos in chat with the people you choose. You decide who sees them, and you can take access back any time.
⭐
Favorites, matches, and admirers
Wave, favorite, swipe, match, see profile views, and see likes without opening your wallet every six seconds.
📅
Events and groups
Discover LGBTQ+ events, RSVP, and connect around actual plans. Create or join groups for your scene, your crew, or your next very well organized night out.
⚡
Flashes
Share a quick update that disappears in 24 hours. A little moment, not a whole press conference.
💍
Partner linking
Link your profile to your partner's with two way approval. Cute, clear, and not accidentally chaotic.
Explore
Land with a plan.
Use Trick Dash to understand a city's LGBTQ+ scene before a trip, with community profiles, venues, events, and local context in one place.
✈️
Trip Planner
Choose a city and preview the local scene before you arrive. Venues, events, community activity, and travel context, all before you start packing the wrong shoes.
📡
Smart Radius
When your local scene is quieter, Trick Dash widens the view so the app stays useful without exposing exact locations.
🔗
A profile you can actually share
Your profile gets a real URL. Add it to your bio, send it in a message, or share it before a trip. It even unfurls a preview card, because we live in society.
Shareable
One link. Everywhere.
Your profile lives at trickdash.com/@yourname. Put it in your bio, send it in a message, or casually drop it like you are very organized.

Your Profile
A profile with a little range.
Photos, interests, identity fields, and enough room to sound like yourself. Revolutionary concept.
🎨
Interests and identity
Add interests, pronouns, gender, relationship status, and the details that make a profile feel like a person, not a form.
❤️🩹
Sexual health
Share your status if you want to. It is stored encrypted, and only ever shown the way you choose.
🌍
20 languages
Menus, buttons, labels, and live translation across 20 languages. Your vacation Spanish can finally rest.
Privacy
We know less because we ask for less.
No name. No email. No phone number. No password. Your account is tied to a unique passkey login, and your profile only shows what you choose to share. Privacy starts with minding our business.
📍
Location stays fuzzy
Your exact GPS is never stored. Your position is offset before it reaches our servers.
🔐
Health data, encrypted
HIV status and prevention preferences are encrypted before they hit the database, and only ever shown the way you choose.
📧
No email, ever
We never ask for your email, so there is nothing to store, leak, sell, or spam. A bold new era for your inbox.
🔑
Passkey login
Sign in with Face ID, Touch ID, or your fingerprint. No password to forget. No inbox required.
🎂
No birth date
We only store your age as a number, never your date of birth. Your birthday stays on your device.
💬
Messages on your timer
Choose how long messages stick around, from 1 to 14 days. Some things do not need a permanent archive.
🗑️
Delete in one tap
Export everything we have on you, or delete your account entirely. Real and immediate, not a 30 day hold.
🤳
ID free age check
Where required by law, we verify your age with an anonymous selfie processed by Didit, or with Apple's built in age check. No ID upload. We never receive the biometric template. How age verification works.
🛡️
Photo screening before posting
Photos run through automated screening before they go live. Reports are reviewed before serious action is taken, and edge cases get human review. How moderation works.
Safety
Safety is not a premium feature.
The protections that keep you safe are on for everyone, free, from the very first tap.
🔞
Verified, 18 and up
Age is verified at signup with an anonymous check. You control the adult content settings yourself.
🛡️
Every photo screened
Photos run through automated moderation before they go live. Real people review the edge cases.
🚫
Zero tolerance for abuse
Intimate image abuse is taken seriously, escalated when appropriate, and can lead to removal or account bans.
✈️
Safer travel
In places where LGBTQ+ visibility may create serious risk, Trick Dash can limit map access and visibility to help avoid exposing people.
📜
Rules in plain language
Community guidelines you can actually read in five minutes. No 40 page agreement written to bore you.
🆘
Help when you need it
Reports are easy to send and designed for human review when context matters.

The business model
How can it be free?
Fair question. Suspicious, but fair.
🪶
Built to run light
Trick Dash is built to run lean, so the core experience can stay free without turning every useful feature into an upgrade.
📍
Local businesses, not data brokers
Venues, promoters, and community businesses can pay for relevant visibility in the map and events stream. They reach the right audience. You keep the core app free.
🚫
No third party ad networks
No banner ads. No interstitials. No ad network following you around. Promoted venues or events may appear where they are relevant to the community map.
Who's behind it
Built independently. Community first.
No third party ad network. No data brokerage. No pressure to turn every useful feature into a paid upgrade. Trick Dash is built by Bunk Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation operating out of Toronto, by people who would also like the apps to be less exhausting.
Yes. Core features are free for everyone. No subscription wall, no locked tiers, and no third party ad network.
Will Trick Dash be active where I live?
Trick Dash is new, so some cities are busier than others. The map also shows LGBTQ+ venues and events, so it is useful even before your local community grows. Every new profile makes the scene around it better.
Do I need an email or phone number?
No. You sign in with a passkey using Face ID, Touch ID, or your fingerprint. Your inbox remains blissfully uninvolved.
Is it only for dating?
No. It is for dating, making friends, discovering events, traveling, and community. Use it for the version of your social life that actually exists.
Which cities does it cover?
Trick Dash works wherever community profiles are active, plus more than 2,400 curated LGBTQ+ venues across 290 cities. You can also explore cities before you travel.
Can I use it on iPhone and Android?
Use Trick Dash on the web right now or get the Android app on Google Play. The iPhone app is coming soon.
How private is it?
Very. We do not ask for your name, email, phone number, or password. Your account is tied to a unique passkey login, not an inbox or phone number. Your profile only shows what you choose to share. Your location is fuzzed before it leaves your device, health data is encrypted, and messages delete on your timer.
Come as you are. Leave your inbox out of it.
No email. No phone number. No subscription wall. No exact location stored.
