A dating app that starts with something they said.

Intime is for people who would rather write one good message than send a hundred openers. It's built for the United States, and only the United States, for now.

Why it exists

Most dating apps ask you to decide about a whole person in a second, from one photo. The result is a lot of matches, and not many conversations worth having.

Intime works the other way round. You like one thing someone shared, a photo or an answer to a question, and you write a line about why. If they like you back, that line is your first message, so every chat starts with something to talk about.

Like the thing, not just the face. Say why. Start there.

How it works

Each profile has up to 6 photos and answers to up to 3 questions, chosen from a list of 25. You like a particular photo or answer and add a comment. They see exactly what caught your eye.

A chat you've read but haven't answered stays marked Your turn until you reply. Chats that go quiet for two weeks move to Hidden, and one new message brings them back.

What we care about

Being yourself

Your photos and your answers, not a performance. The app rewards saying something real.

Real conversation

Every like points at something, so every match begins with something to talk about.

Safety

A face check done by a person, a location that stays private, and reporting that still works after an unmatch.

Meeting someone

We build for people who want to meet someone, not for how long anyone spends in the app.
