Three ways to find your people.
A real map with real pins. A swipeable reel that feels like a slot machine. A photo grid for browsing. Switch between them with one tap.
🗺️

Live Map

See who's nearby on an interactive map with clustered pins. Zoom in to street level, pan around, search any area. LGBTQ+ business pins show friendly venues nearby with hours, directions, and open/closed status.

🎰

The Reel

A gamified card-swipe discovery mode that feels like a slot machine. Spin through profiles with sound effects, animations, and jackpot matches. Wave, message, or favorite with one tap. No other app has this.

📷

Photo Grid

Classic grid view with large photo cells. Quick-scan who's nearby, tap to open full profiles with photo carousels, bio, interests, and action buttons.

Connect
Every way to reach out.
Message, wave, favorite, match, share albums, share your location, link your partner. All free, all real-time.
💬

Real-Time Chat

Instant messaging with typing indicators, read receipts, photo sharing, location sharing, and unsend. Messages auto-expire on your terms (1–14 days). No message limits, no "upgrade to reply."

📸

Albums + Private Sharing

Create photo albums with a built-in crop tool and share them privately in chat. Set expiry timers so albums disappear after 1 hour or 24 hours. You control who sees what, and for how long.

👋

Waves + Favorites + Matches

Wave at someone to show interest. Favorite profiles to keep track. When you both favorite each other, it's a match with a celebration animation. See your admirers, waves, and matches in dedicated tabs.

💍

Partner Linking

Link your profile to your partner's with a two-way approval flow. Your partner shows on your profile for everyone to see. Request, accept, or remove at any time.

📅

Events + Groups

Discover local LGBTQ+ events, RSVP as interested or going, and see who else is attending. Create or join groups with cover images, broadcasts, and member lists.

Flashes

Post ephemeral photos that disappear after 24 hours. One tap to post, visible in the flash bar above your inbox. Reactions let people respond without starting a conversation.

Explore
Go anywhere. For free.
Browse profiles in any city before you arrive. Other apps charge $15–$23/mo for this. We don't.
✈️

Trip Planner

Tap a city and you're there. See who's around, plan ahead, roam virtually for up to 24 hours. Cities sorted by distance from you with live profile counts.

🌐

Live Translation

Profiles and chats auto-detect language. Tap the globe to translate bios, headlines, and messages into your language instantly. Works across all 20 supported languages.

📡

Smart Radius

Automatically widens your search until it finds people near you. Works in big cities and small towns alike. Fuzzy distance display protects everyone's exact location.

Dark Room
A second persona. Fully anonymous.
Your Dark Room identity has its own name, emoji avatar, bio, and albums. Complete firewall between your two personas. Available exclusively on the web app.
🌑

Anonymous Persona

Choose an emoji avatar and a separate nickname. Nobody can connect your Dark Room identity to your Radar profile. Chat, share albums, and browse without revealing who you are.

🚽

Stall Wall

An anonymous shout board for the Dark Room. Post short messages visible to everyone nearby. Like bathroom-wall graffiti, but digital and ephemeral.

👻

Ghost Mode

Hide your distance, hide from profile views, go fully invisible. Privacy controls that are actually free, not locked behind a paywall like everywhere else.

Your Profile
Show exactly who you are.
Rich profiles with photos, interests, identity fields, and more. No character limits on bios. Built-in crop tool for photos.
🎨

Interests + Identity

38 interest pills (cycling, gaming, vinyl, drag, and more), identity tags, pronouns, relationship status, and a "looking for" multi-select. Profiles feel complete, not like a form.

🔑

Passkey Login

Sign in with your face or fingerprint. No email, no password, no phone number. Your biometrics never leave your device. Syncs securely across all your Apple or Google devices.

🌍

20 Languages

Every screen, every button, every label. English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino, Hebrew, Dutch, Swedish, and Polish.

We don't want your data. Seriously.
Other apps profit from your personal information. We built Trick Dash so that even if our entire database were stolen, attackers would find almost nothing usable.
📍

Location Is Fuzzy

Your exact GPS coordinates are never stored. We offset your position with a cryptographic hash before it touches the database. Not even we know where you are.

🔐

Health Data Encrypted

HIV status and safer-sex preferences are AES-256 encrypted before storage. A raw database export reveals only meaningless ciphertext.

🎂

No Birth Date Stored

We only store your age as a number, never your date of birth. Your birthday stays on your device and never leaves it.

📧

No Email Stored

If you use email login, we store a one-way hash, not your actual address. We literally cannot read it back.

💬

Messages Auto-Expire

When you're both online, messages fly through instantly via real-time WebSocket. Otherwise, our server holds them just long enough for delivery. You choose how long: 1 to 14 days, then they're permanently deleted.

🗑️

Full Data Control

Export everything we have on you, or delete your account entirely with one tap. Deletion is real and immediate, not a 30-day hold.
