Dating apps are out-dated,
so we built Swerv.

What is swerv?

Swerv is a location-based dating tool designed to guide you to places you'll have a higher chance of meeting someone organically.

Imagine knowing the bar you're heading to only has 4 people that match with what you're looking for. But, the bar across the street has 23 matches. You just increased your chances of meeting someone.

traditional dating apps
are failing you

Electronic Interactions

We didn't evolve to interact with people electronically. There's no body language, emotion or personality. We're left to fill in the blanks.

Fake Profiles/Catfish

You don't really know who (or what) is on the other end of that profile you just matches with. AI bot profiles are stealing your personal info to hack your accounts.

Ghosting

We see ghosts daily now. You match with someone, then POOF, they're gone in 60 seconds.

Wasted Time

You match with someone, chat for a few days and then you meet. They aren't who you were expecting. Rinse & Repeat.

Profit Prioritized

Designed to be deleted? More like designed to take your money. A premium subscription IS NOT required to use Swerv.

Addiction & Fatigue

They want you endlessly swiping. Give your thumb a rest. Swerv is a tool used while you're out, not while you're alone on a couch.

No More
Ghosting.

Are you tired of talking to ghosts? So are we. You can't ghost people in person.

Real
Connection.

Meet people the right way, in-person. It's the best foundation for a successful relationship.

True First
Impressions.

Go back to meeting people the tried and true way. Swerv was built for it.

You are anonymous

When online, matches see you as an anonymous pin with basic info, so you can't be recognized. You can show or hide your photos anytime to control your privacy.

Location Delays

Your location updates at an interval of you're choice, not in real-time. This prevents anyone from knowing your exact location at any given time.

Movement Detection

Swerv automatically detects when you start walking or get in a car and automatically pauses your location. Another safety mechanism to protect your location at all times.

Privacy Areas

Swerv encourages you to set a privacy area around your home or any place you don't want to be visible. You will automatically be hidden when you enter inside these areas, even if the app is in the background.

Frequently
Asked Questions

What is Swerv?

Swerv is less of a dating app and more a tool to guide you back to meeting in person, organically. On Swerv, theres no profiles to endlessly swipe through because we don't want you wasting your time window shopping through unlimited profiles. You simply tell us about yourself and what you're looking for, then we plot your potential matches on a map (anonymously). You use this information to make informed decisions on where to go so you have a higher chance of meeting someone you might actually like. Remember, there may not be a lot of matches online at any given time, so check back often esp during the busy 'going out' times. We're growing fast, so more matches are joining every day!

Why Swerv?

Traditional online dating and apps have been damaging our social interactions, so we built Swerv. When you "match" on a regular dating app, you begin building a first impression of that person by how you interpret their messages. Messages are stripped of personality, tone and emotion, so the way you interpret it might be off just a bit. You eventually build a persona of that person based solely on the text messages you exchange and their photos, then when you finally meet in person, something seems "off". This is because a true first impression must happen in person. This is why we built Swerv.

How does it work?

It's Friday night. You start up the Swerv app and go "Online". You see that the bar you usually go to downtown has 4 potential matches. But, right across the street theres a bar with 24 potential matches. You decide to 'Swerv' your plans to the bar across the street with an added confidence boost knowing 24 matches there are looking for someone like you!

Is it safe?

Yes! we know it's a crazy world, so we've built Swerv with every aspect of our member's safety in mind. Privacy areas are places where even if you are online and you enter in them, your location will be hidden and you will not be visible to anyone. We recommend setting a privacy area around your home or work, so if you forget to go offline the app will automatically hide you at those places. Your location is also only updated once every few minutes, not real-time. When you go online, by default you are anonymous to other matches. They can only view basic info about you and how well you both match. You'll also notice while you are online if you start to move (walk, drive, etc.), the app pauses your location from updating to your matches.

Why is background location required?

This is required for the platform to function correctly, but it is only utilized while you are 'online' and not when you are 'offline' on the platform. When you go 'online', even if the app is in the background, your location is being updated every few minutes until you either go 'offline' or enter a privacy area you've set.

Dating apps are out-dated, so we built Swerv.
