People nearby.
On your terms.

AlongHere helps you discover mutual interest with people who are already around you — without starting from a public people-radar or giving away your profile first.

Love · Sport · Business · Friends · local-first · no AlongHere account required

One app. Four reasons to connect.

AlongHere separates intent instead of mixing every interaction into one feed.

Love

Discover romantic potential without exposing a public dating profile first.

Sport

Find someone nearby for movement, training or a spontaneous activity.

Business

Meet collaborators, founders, specialists or useful local contacts.

Friends

Turn proximity into low-pressure social opportunities and shared interests.

A connection flow that does not begin with oversharing.

01

Presence

Know that another AlongHere user is around.

02

Private check

Check compatibility inside an encrypted exchange.

03

Mutual match

Both devices must qualify.

04

Verify

Optional face-to-face QR pairing with a safety code.

05

Reveal

Share name, bio or interests only when you choose.

06

Build

Use Connection Journey to move forward mutually.

The match is the beginning, not the product.

Connection Journey gives two people useful things to do after they match, while keeping progression mutual and deliberate.

Mutual Connection Levels

Say Hi → Talk → Play → Personal → Private. The shared level is always the lower choice of both people.

Comfort Intersection

Both choose what feels comfortable. The standard UI shows the overlap instead of exposing where one person would have gone further.

Conversation Cards

Mode- and level-aware prompts make the first real conversation easier.

A/B

This or That

Quick choices become a compatibility result without putting every answer into a public profile.

DNA

Connection DNA

Compare eight local dimensions: personality, social energy, communication, dating intent, adventure, sport style, work style and relationship style.

🎲

Seven Connection Games

Icebreaker, Would You Rather, Guess My Answer, Two Truths & a Lie, Compatibility Challenge, 5-Minute Adventure and Question Roulette.

Connection Library

Articles, visual/video-style guides, spoken mini-podcasts and a private planning calendar keep the connection useful after discovery.

Connection Mode

Both people can turn a match into an ongoing paired connection with shared milestones and activities.

Face-to-face QR pairing

A short-lived QR can establish a verified connection in person without putting profile or location data into the code.

Forward-secret chat

Encrypted ratcheted chat, disappearing-message options, unmatch and device-key blocking are built into the connection.

Privacy is an interaction model, not a slogan.

AlongHere tries to minimize what has to exist on a server in the first place.

Local profile by default

Profile, interests, boundaries, matches, journey state and chat history stay on the device unless a feature explicitly shares something with a matched peer.

Coarse optional presence

Server-assisted discovery is opt-in. Browser coordinates are rounded to three decimals before presence is sent and rounded again server-side.

Short-lived transport

Presence and relay records use short TTLs. Public nearby handles rotate; matched peers use a private relay route shared inside the encrypted handshake.

Security note: AlongHere uses Web Crypto, P-256 ECDH, AES-GCM and a forward-secret ratchet for new chat messages, but it is not presented as Signal Protocol and has not yet undergone an independent production security audit. Comfort and compatibility now use an experimental blinded, padded commutative set-comparison inside the encrypted matched-peer channel so the standard UI receives shared or aggregate results rather than raw selections. It is still not a formally verified or independently audited private-set-intersection protocol.

Interesting people may already be around you.

AlongHere helps you find the overlap — and leaves the next step to both of you.
