Connection First

You don't see them until you get them.

Blinder is a dating app where photos stay blurred until you answer questions your potential match has set for you. The more you both agree, the more you see. Attraction becomes the reward for resonance.

Earned Revelation

You don't study them. You find yourself in them. Each shared answer brings the photo—and the person—into focus.

1

The Silhouette

Profiles begin blurred. You see their thoughts, their values, and the shape of their life—before the details of their face.

2

Find Resonance

Answer questions about how you see the world. When you and your match share the same answer, the photo unblurs. You reveal yourselves to each other, one truth at a time.

3

Intentional Clarity

By the time the image is clear, you aren't looking at a stranger. You're looking at someone you already understand—and have 2 correct answers to swipe right.

Dating is broken by design

"Modern dating asks you to judge a soul in a split second. We swipe on surfaces, hoping to find depth—but the medium is the message. When you start with the face, the mind becomes an afterthought."
— The Blinder Philosophy

What changes when attraction is earned

The Pace

You remember people. Because unblurring a profile requires a moment of reflection, no one is disposable.

The Spark

Attraction feels different when it's earned. The reveal creates a genuine moment of excitement that swiping can't replicate.

💬

The Conversation

You never have to ask "how's your day?" You already know you both prefer dive bars and Sunday morning jazz.

Blinder is not for everyone. That's the point.

The fastest way to build something good is to make it for people who actually want it.

Blinder is for people who...

  • Believe personality is the ultimate aphrodisiac
  • Are exhausted by the "digital catalogue" feel of other apps
  • Want to be seen for more than their best lighting
  • Prefer slower, higher-intent connections

It's not for...

  • Rapid-fire swiping during commercial breaks
  • Instant gratification at the expense of quality
  • Endless collecting of matches without intent
  • Treating people like playing cards

See who you actually connect with

Stop swiping on surfaces. Start understanding the people you meet.
