Alternative to BiCupid
Choose a connection that fits your intentions.
BiCupid makes room for bisexual and bicurious singles and couples to explore. If you'd like to try a personal one-on-one introduction too, meet Known. Tell us about yourself and what you're looking for. We'll get to know you and help plan the date when you're both interested. You decide whether you'd like to see where it goes.
At first I thought this was cap and all marketing hype, but I finally got to do the call today and it was a cool XP. Now I just gotta see if they actually got somebody for me 🤣
Beautiful UI, such a clean user experience with great haptic feedback that makes the app come alive. Definitely recommending to friends in search of a dating app!
I was actually surprised at the AI aspect for matching, because my first date from Known could not have been more fun!!
How Known works
A little more personal.
Swipeless dating.
You don't browse people. You're introduced to them.
Known starts by getting to know you. Not just your profile, but how you think, what you value, and who you're drawn to.
From there, we introduce you to one person at a time. Someone chosen with intention. Someone worth meeting.
Try it now
No endless options. No small talk.
If there's mutual interest, we set the date. Time, place, everything handled. All you have to do is show up.
Try it now
It gets better over time.
After each date, Known learns. What felt right. What didn't. What surprised you.
So every introduction becomes more accurate. More natural. More you.
Less searching. More knowing.
Try it nowHow is Known different?
Want a date with a plan?
We make the date happen
When you and your match are ready to meet, Known finds a time that works for both of you, picks a spot nearby, books the reservation, and sends you the details. We take care of everything so you don’t have to.
What kind of connection are you seeking?
Skip the pen-pal phase
We believe chemistry is best discovered in person, not over a screen. Known skips the endless small talk and conversations that go nowhere, so you can see if there’s a spark in person. Once you both say yes to an introduction, Known finds a time that works and plans the date. Save the real getting-to-know-you part for when you meet.
Would clearer intentions help?
Meet people looking for what you are
Known is a community of intentional daters who are ready for a real relationship. Whether you’re newly single, divorced, have been dating for a while, or simply ready to find your person - our matchmaker gets to know you and what you’re looking for so we can find the same in the people we introduce you to.
Want a date that fits your life?
Your preferences matter.
Your match, preferences, and availability help shape the date. Known looks for a place that fits, not just somewhere to meet.
Looking for a different pace?
Dating that cares about your time
Known is searching for your match every day, so you don’t have to spend hours swiping or checking for someone new. When we find someone you want to meet, we plan the date and send you the details. You just have to show up.
Want room for the whole person?
Meet someone chosen for you
There’s a lot about you that could never fit into a dating profile. At Known, we get to know all the little things that make you, you - your quirks, values, aspirations, and what you’re looking for in a relationship. We do the same with your potential matches, so we can introduce you to someone we believe you’ll have real compatibility with.

Some of our favorite places
Where Known dates take place

Birba
Birba is an intimate wine bar on Grove Street with a covered, string-lit garden out back, making it a quieter spot to get to know your date. The wine list mixes old-world classics with natural bottles you can pull straight from the shelf.

The Interval at Long Now
The Interval provides its own conversation starters: towering bookshelves, a drawing robot and exhibits about thinking on a very long timescale. The Fort Mason space is both a café and cocktail bar, so it works whether your date calls for coffee or something stronger.

Zuni Café
Zuni Café has been a San Francisco institution since 1979, with big windows overlooking Market Street and a copper wood-fired oven at the back of the room. The classic order is the roast chicken for two, which takes about an hour to prepare and arrives over a warm bread salad.
