Clickable prototype — the dating app that engineers moments instead of computing matches.
Walk the main flow with the buttons in the phone, or jump to a screen:
Decades of research say no questionnaire can predict who you'll fall for. So we don't pretend. No swiping. No scores. No browsing.
Date one, you talk. With better questions than "so what do you do?"
Date two, you do something together.
Date three, you solve something together — an escape room, a cooking mission, a build.
Compatibility isn't found in a profile. It's built in moments like these.
In the research, most people who ended up happily together rated their first impression middling. Sparks are built, not struck. Arc is designed for exactly that — which is why decisions wait until the arc is done.
This is one of a handful of true dealbreakers. We filter on these — and almost nothing else.
A friend calls at 2 a.m. needing help and won't say why. How many questions do you ask before you're in the car?
Not a place — a moment. This never appears on your profile. It becomes a card the two of you open together, on a date, when the time is right.
Gut reactions to faces — and the model decides how many you need. Each photo is chosen to teach it the most about your type; when it's confident, the deck ends. Most people finish in 30–80 swipes.
It's completely private. Nobody is notified, ranked, or rejected. And it never comes back: this is calibration, not a catalog.
The model reached 91% confidence in 41 swipes — your reactions were decisive. Your taste diverged from the crowd on 16 of them; that disagreement is your real type, and it makes your pool bigger than any leaderboard would show.
From here on, attraction is a floor we guarantee, never a score we chase. Every match will be within your range — which is why you won't need photos to decide.
Match cards show avatars, not photos — attraction is already guaranteed by First Glance, so decisions can focus on what actually matters. Real photos unlock only when you both accept.
· Zero questions before getting in the car — the 2 a.m. call
· Makes it fun, doesn't care if it's built right — the IKEA test
· "Change the setting and give it another hour" — the flagging evening
Your card leads with your avatar. Real photos stay locked 🔒 until you and a match both accept.
Behavior leads. Photos confirm — later.
Thursday, July 9
We'd like you to meet 🌿 Maya — we think the two of you would be interesting in a room together.
Date 2 — Saturday 7pm
Night market cooking mission · Alder St.
Supper club — 2 seats left
8 people · Casa Nera · you've met 3 of them before
That's everything. Nothing to scroll. 🌱
· Took the keys from a stranger who'd had too many — and drove him home
· Quiet executor on a team, organizer with friends
· "Ask one much more personal question and see what happens" — the flagging evening
Honestly? We can't predict chemistry — nobody can. But you're both "better in person" people who go deeper when a date stalls, and you've never met anyone like each other. That's worth three dates.
Real photos unlock when you both accept. She's already within your First Glance range — decide on the rest.
You chose each other for how you show up. Here's who you'll meet.
Both answer, out loud, at the same time. No passing.
"What's a small, specific thing someone once did that made you feel completely understood?"
Sarah answered this in her interview. So did you. Tonight you find out in person — not over text.
Cards go deeper as the arc goes on — only as deep as you both set your dials.
Not a summary. Not a verdict. One moment.
And overall, tonight was…
You both answer privately. Answers reveal at the same moment — no one waits on read.
The research's strongest advice: be around the same people on repeated occasions. Guest lists stay hidden until you arrive.
8 seats · 3 people you've met before
10 people · co-hosted by member Dana
8 people · easy pace · dogs welcome
Hosts get free membership. The best-connected people in the research weren't the joiners — they were the ones who sent the email.
No profile views. No likes count. Those are popularity meters, and popularity has nothing to do with who you'll be happy with.
