Stop swiping.
Start dating.
Vanity is a dating app built against endless swiping. Each week you get a small, hand-picked slate — and you can see exactly why each person is there. No infinite feed. No hidden algorithm. Built to be deleted.
Request your city
Your weekly slate
See why, every time
Real, verified people
A different kind of dating app
We took the parts everyone hates — the firehose, the black box, the forever-scroll — and removed them.
Fewer, better options
A handful of well-matched people each week, not an endless feed. Scarcity by design, so every option actually means something.
An algorithm you can read
Every person on your slate comes with the reason they're there. The same rules for everyone — and the matching is open source. No black box.
Built to be deleted
Connections are meant to leave the app. Each week your chats expire unless you keep one. We want you to meet someone and go.
Honest by default
People describe themselves, everyone matches by mutual preference, and profiles are ID-verified. No games, no bots.
The matching algorithm is open source
Most apps hide how matching works. We published ours — the exact v3 ruleset that builds your weekly slate, readable and runnable in ten seconds. No black box, no secret scoring.
How the launch works
Dating apps only work when there are real people near you. So we open one city at a time — and yours opens when enough people nearby have joined.
Join the list
Tell us your city and who you'd like to meet. Thirty seconds.
We launch where it's dense
When enough balanced sign-ups gather near you, your city goes live.
Meet your weekly slate
A few great matches, chosen in the open — every single week.
You're on the list.
We'll email you the moment Vanity opens near you.
