Why Waimz™

Our community is everywhere. It's just hard to find.

It lives in group chats, Instagram stories, word of mouth and apps built for one thing. So when you move, travel or just want something new, you start from zero. Waimz™ puts the people, groups and places of LGBTQ+ life on one map, in every city.

New in town

Find your crowd and your spots from day one.

Traveling or on a work trip

See what's queer and close, wherever you land.

Ready for more than the grid

Friends, community and dates, each in its own lane.

How it works.

Three steps. No noise.

01

Say what you're here for

Dating, friends, community, or all three. Add pronouns and interests if you like.

02

See what's around you

Radar shows people, communities and places nearby, at home or away.

03

Meet for real

Start the chat, join the meetup, go out. You stay in control.

Good questions

The short answers.

What is Waimz™?

Waimz™ is a real-world social app for LGBTQ+ adults (18+). It helps you find queer-friendly places, LGBTQ+ communities and dates near you, at home or while traveling. Waimz™ is a brand of Humainz, Inc. and is coming soon to iOS and Android.

Is Waimz™ a dating app?

Partly. Dating is one of three equal parts of Waimz™, next to communities and places to go. Many people use Waimz™ only for friends, community and nights out. Your profile shows what you're here for, so friendship and dating stay clear.

Can I use Waimz™ just to make LGBTQ+ friends?

Yes. On Waimz™, join communities built around interests and identities, from run clubs and book clubs to parents' groups and support circles, and meet people at real-life meetups. You never have to use dating.

How do I find LGBTQ+ community when I move to a new city?

Open Waimz™ in your new city. Radar shows the people, communities and LGBTQ+-friendly places around you, and the Waimz™ city guide lists bars, cafés and community spaces in 12 cities to start with.

How can I find gay bars and queer-friendly places when I travel?

Waimz™ Places shows LGBTQ+-friendly bars, clubs, cafés and events near you, wherever you are. Before a trip, browse the Waimz™ city guide. With Premium, Travel mode lets you set your location before you arrive.

Is Waimz™ free?

Yes. On Waimz™, Discovery is free and unlimited, including Map, List, Discover and Radar, and so are Communities, Places and safety tools. Free members can start a limited number of new chats each month. Replies and incoming chats are always unlimited.

What does Waimz™ Premium include?

Waimz™ Premium costs 19 USD per month after a 7-day free trial and auto-renews until cancelled. It includes unlimited new connections, including inside Communities, featured placement in Discover, Instagram on your profile, Travel mode to change your home location and the W Premium badge.

Is Waimz™ safe?

On Waimz™, safety is a shared responsibility. We build the tools: selfie verification, block & report in every chat, 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.

Find your people.
Wherever you are.

Places, communities and dating, in one app. Coming soon to iOS and Android. 18+.
