The whole tour — from matching to the moment you walk in the door safely.
We ask you what you actually want, and we use it. No mystery deck full of randos.
You only see people who fit what you're looking for — and who are looking for someone like you. Both sides have to want it.
Men, women, trans men, trans women, non-binary, trans — pick any of them on either side, in any combination. Pick "everyone" if that's you.
Opt in to a short set of questions about attachment style, lifestyle, and what you want long-term. Your matches start surfacing with a compatibility score and a quick "why this person" note.
Age range, distance, dealbreakers — change them anytime. It re-ranks immediately.
Concerts. Comedy. Sports. Theater. Festivals. All pulled live from venues around you, with the people who said they'd be there.
Synced from venue ticketing data, refreshed daily. Map view to browse a city; list view if you'd rather scroll.
Type something like "country shows this weekend" or "comedy in Brooklyn Friday." The app figures out what you meant and shows you results — no clicking through filters.
Tap "I'm going." If a match RSVPs to the same thing, they show up with an EVENT tag in your chat list. Opening line writes itself.
If nothing's happening right where you are, we automatically widen the search and show what's worth a short drive.
Looking for indie rock specifically? Or stand-up over musicals? Hookt filters by sub-genre, not just "concert" or "theater."
Tell a friend when and where you're going. They can see you on a map and message you while you're out. The link expires when the date does.
You hit "share my date" inside the app. Your friend gets a link. Nothing else to set up.
Your location updates automatically as you move. They always see where you are, not where you were an hour ago.
They can check in. You can reply. All from the same link — no extra app for them to download.
End the date and the link goes dark immediately. No background tracking ever.
You can also track a friend who's out — they share a link with you, you watch from inside the app.
Don't swap numbers until you want to. You can do everything inside Hookt first.
Read receipts, typing indicators, photo replies — works the way you'd expect from a chat app, because that's what it is.
Tap call inside any chat. Voice or video, both work. No third-party app, no number trade.
Stuck on what to say first? Hookt will suggest something based on what you have in common — but only if you ask.
One tap. They never see you again, and a moderator looks at the report.
No more "when works for you" loops. Pick the place, lock the time, share it. Done.
You and your match plan in the same chat. No screenshots back and forth.
Coffee, dinner, drinks, an activity — Hookt suggests spots near you both. Tap one to propose it.
Some venues let you book straight from the chat. Others you'll have to call, but the link's right there.
It pings you before the date — so you don't realize at 6:55 that you said 7.
We do the boring grown-up stuff so the rest of it feels lighter.
Verify with a government ID and a selfie. You get a verified badge. Photos go through automated moderation before they're public.
One tap blocks. One tap reports. Moderators review reports — most within a day.
You choose what shows up on your profile, you choose what's visible on the events you RSVP to, and date tracking only runs when you start it.
Tips and what-to-do guides right where you'd think to look — Settings → Safety.
Match, message, your date is tomorrow — you'll get pinged. You won't get pinged every time someone you've never met logs in.
For the curious: see why Hookt thinks a particular person might fit, broken down by category.
Adjust how far you're willing to look. Pull it in for a Tuesday night, push it out for a weekend.
Better than a one-line bio. Pick from a set of questions and answer in your own words.
Because late-night swiping shouldn't be a retina situation.
Granular privacy. Easy account export. Real delete (not "we'll hold onto your data anyway"). It's your account.
Hookt is launching on iOS soon. Drop us a line if you want a heads-up when it goes live.
