About

Dating apps became pen pals with photos

We built DateNight to get back to the part that matters: actually meeting. Instead of swiping through profiles, you browse real plans posted by real people and ask to join the ones you'd enjoy.

What we believe

  • A plan says more than a profile. What someone wants to do on a Thursday night tells you a lot about whether you'll get along.
  • Less texting, more meeting. Three messages, then the date. The rest of the conversation happens in person.
  • Safety and privacy aren't features. They're the floor. Read how we approach them on our safety page.

Where we are

DateNight is in beta in Toronto and Vienna. It's free while we build, and we're growing one city at a time so each has enough people and plans to be worth opening.
