Cool way to date with deeper connection
Such a cool and interesting dating app!! Nothing like ive seen before
Seriously this is the only app that doesn’t waste your time. Been on 2 dates so far and I just deleted hinge bc it doesn’t feel worth it anymore. Ty Known🩷
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.

Can someone else handle the planning?
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.
More than a questionnaire?
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.
What will it feel like in person?
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.
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.
Ready for something beyond an inbox?
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.
Do you want to browse, or be introduced?
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.

This app is incredible. I love how it works, it’s a great UI and really pairs you with someone you actually would be compatible with. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to get set up the same way you’d get set up by mutuals.
Great experience, found a date in around 2 weeks!
the setup process was pretty quick and i think this app is more genuine than most dating apps
Some of our favorite places
Where Known dates take place
Cole Valley / San Francisco
Zazie
Zazie gives you two different dates in one Cole Valley bistro: an American-style brunch or a Provençal dinner. Choose the former when you have a leisurely morning, the latter when you want to put an actual reservation in the calendar.

Madi
A San Diego brunch restaurant on Adams Avenue. Choose this when a proper sit-down meal sounds better than a hurried coffee.

Point Loma / San Diego
Sunset Cliffs
The bluffs along Point Loma face straight into the Pacific, making Sunset Cliffs one of the easiest places in the city to turn an ordinary evening into a date. Park near Ladera Street, walk along the cliffs, and find a spot to sit before the sun starts to drop.
