Relationship-first dating for the whole LGBTQ+ spectrum

Kindrd is a relationship-first dating app for the whole LGBTQ+ spectrum — lesbian, gay, bi, pan, trans, non-binary, ace and questioning. Instead of an endless swipe deck: a small daily set of genuinely compatible people, matched on identity, intent and values. Prompts do the talking. Matching and messaging are free forever. Privacy is structural — city-centre distance only, per-field identity hiding, text-only chat. Kindrd+: 7 days free, then £7.99/mo. Founding Member: £50 once, lifetime.
The prompts-first approach is really refreshing, but a small thing would help: a shared "looking for" field that's visible on profiles so you can instantly see whether someone's after dating, friendship or something more casual. Saves a lot of guessing when the prompts are playful and the intent is left implicit.
@ratkca43150 This is exactly how Kindrd already works 🙌 Every profile shows the person's relationship style + what they're hoping for right on the card — so intent is visible before a word is exchanged, no guessing from the prompts. You've homed in on something I care a lot about.
love the prompts-over-photos angle, feels way more real than the swipe grind. one thing that would actually help me as a user though: a "pause" option for your profile. like if i'm traveling or just not in a headspace to chat, i can hide from the daily set for a week or two without losing my matches or having to delete the app. would make it feel a lot less pressured honestly
@sema1l0d You just described a feature that's already in there 💛 It's called "Take a break" in Settings — you vanish from everyone's daily set, keep all your matches and chats, and flip back on whenever you like. There's also a lighter "discreet mode" if you'd rather browse and reach out first without showing up in sets. Exactly the no-pressure thing you're after.
Love the daily small match idea and the text-only privacy angle, feels much calmer than the usual swipe chaos. One thing I'd love to see is a "dealbreaker" toggle during onboarding (like monogamous vs open, or sober-curious vs not) so the daily set filters those out automatically instead of finding out three prompts in. Would save a lot of mismatched intros for everyone.
Love the anti-swipe vibe and the privacy setup. One thing I'd suggest: let us pin or favorite a profile we're not quite ready to match with yet. Sometimes I want to come back to someone a day or two later, and right now I'd worry they'd vanish from my daily set.
The "per-field identity hiding" is a great idea, but I'd love a way to control who sees what beyond just a blanket hide — maybe let me share being trans with people who also identify as trans, but keep it private from others. Gives more nuance than one toggle per field.
love that the daily set replaces the infinite swipe—feels way more intentional and respectful of everyone's time.
@hacer358337 Thank you 🧡 That's the whole thesis — a small, intentional daily set instead of a slot machine. Really glad it lands.
