How it works.

Three steps. No noise.

01

Create your vibe

Orientation, pronouns, intent, interests. Show up as you, not a checklist.

02

See who and what's around

Radar surfaces people, communities and places nearby, in real time.

03

Connect for real

Chat and meet up, with tools that keep you in control.

Safety isn't fine print

You're always in control of who sees you.

Verified profiles

A selfie check confirms photos match the person behind them. Helpful, not a background check.

Block and report

One tap, in every chat and on every profile. Reports go straight to our Trust & Safety team.

Incognito

Browse without being seen. You decide who finds you.

Hide distance

Share your vibe, not your coordinates.

Discreet mode

Disguise the app on your home screen. Your business stays yours.

Our tools give you control. Your choices keep you safe. Meet in public, tell a friend, and trust your gut. Read our Safety Tips.

Free to discover. Premium to connect without limits.

Discovery stays open to everyone.

Explore people, places and communities without a paywall. Upgrade when you want unlimited new connections and more control over how you show up.

Good questions

The short answers.

How is Waimz different?

Most apps are a grid built for one thing. Waimz gives dating, community, and places-to-go equal weight: your whole queer life, not a swipe deck.

Who's it for?

LGBTQ+ adults, 18+, across the whole spectrum: gay, lesbian, bi, trans, non-binary, queer, questioning.

Is it safe?

Safety is a shared responsibility. We build the tools: selfie verification, block & report in every chat, incognito, hide distance and discreet mode. And we moderate with a mix of tech and real people. But no app can vet everyone or control what happens offline, and we don't run background checks. Meet in public, tell a friend, trust your gut, and read our Safety Tips.

Your people are out there.
Let's go find them.

Dating, community, and the best of queer nightlife, all in one app. Live now on iOS and Android. 18+.
