A dating app designed to keep you single.
You write the flattering version of yourself. We publish what you meant. The rest is a dating app: profiles you scroll, specific things you like, compatibility scores, suggested openers. All of it honest, and some of the profiles are not people.

| The feature | Every other app | Cringe |
|---|---|---|
| Your profile | What you meant | |
| The algorithm | Built against them | |
| Compatibility | Opens at 12, and falls | |
| Notifications | Stay in tonight | |
| Openers | Written to end one | |
| Who is real | Not all of them. Disclosed. | |
| The paid tier | Free, and it does less |
Some of the people here are not people.
We put AI profiles in the deck on purpose. The law says we have to say so. We would have anyway. Accuse any match and we will tell you if you are right. Not before you ask.
You read all of this and you are still here.
About four seconds to start. We will not ask why.
