Swipe app alternative

An alternative to the swipe apps, built for real life.

Swipe less. Go out more.

Waimz™ is the LGBTQ+ app for places, friends and dating. Instead of a stack of profiles to sort, you get people nearby you can say hi to, LGBTQ+ friendly places to go and communities to join. If dating apps have started to feel tiring, this is a different way in.

What changes when you stop swiping

No stacks of profiles to sort. See who's around on Radar and start the chat yourself.
No waiting to be picked. Replies are always free.
Smart ranking shows people who fit what you are looking for first, so you scroll less.

Fewer, better conversations

Endless profiles, chats that go nowhere, evenings spent on the phone. If that sounds familiar, you are not the only one. Waimz is built for fewer, better conversations and more time out in the world.

Places and friends, not just profiles

Places shows LGBTQ+ friendly bars, cafés and events near you. Communities help you meet people around what you love, from run clubs to book clubs. Many of the best first dates start at a place you both already know.

Dating is optional

Switch dating off and you leave Radar, while your chats, communities and places stay. Switch it back on any time.

Safety tools, free for everyone

Photo check, block and report in every chat, hide distance and discreet mode. Orientation, gender identity and pronouns are optional and never used for advertising.
