Your path to meaningful connections starts here
Make a great first impression with a profile that showcases the real you.
Upload 3-6 photos that show different aspects of your life. Include a clear face photo, full-body shot, and photos of you doing things you love.
Tell your story in a few sentences. What makes you unique? What are you passionate about? What are you looking for?
Choose from fun prompts like "My ideal Sunday" or "I'm looking for someone who..." to give matches conversation starters.
Tell us what you're looking for - age range, distance, interests, lifestyle choices, and relationship goals.
Complete photo verification to get a verified badge and build trust with potential matches.
Hookt shows you the people who match what you're looking for — and who are looking for someone like you.
Swipe through profiles of people near you. See their photos, bio, interests, and what they're looking for.
Swipe right to like someone, left to pass. You can also send a "super like" to show extra interest.
When you both like each other, it's a match! You'll be notified and can start chatting immediately.
The more you tap, swipe, and message, the better Hookt understands what you actually go for — not just what you said in your settings.
Use advanced filters to narrow down matches by specific criteria like education, lifestyle, or relationship goals.
Connect with your matches through engaging conversations.
Use our conversation starters based on shared interests, or craft your own unique opening message.
Chat in real-time with instant messaging. Share photos, GIFs, and more to make conversations fun and engaging.
Before meeting in person, consider a video call to verify they match their photos and build comfort.
There's no rush. Get to know someone at your own pace before deciding to meet in person.
Keep conversations in the app until you feel comfortable. Never share sensitive personal information too early.
Use Hookt's built-in date planning tools to coordinate the perfect meetup.
When you're ready to meet, suggest a date directly in the chat. Choose a time, place, and activity.
Browse personalized venue recommendations based on your location and preferences - coffee shops, restaurants, activities, and more.
Work together to find a time and place that works for both of you. The app keeps all details organized in one place.
Save the date to your phone's calendar with all the details - time, location, and any notes.
Receive timely reminders before your date so you never forget or show up late.
Hookt's signature safety feature - share your live location with trusted friends during your date.
Before your date, turn on live location tracking with one tap. It only shares when you want it to.
Generate a unique tracking link and send it to trusted friends via text, email, or any messaging app.
Your friends can see your live location on an interactive map without downloading the app. It updates every 10 seconds.
Friends can send you quick check-in messages through the tracking link to make sure everything's going well.
Designate emergency contacts who can be alerted instantly if you need help.
When your date ends, simply turn off location sharing. You have complete control at all times.
Relax, be yourself, and enjoy getting to know someone new.
Put your phone away (except for safety check-ins) and focus on the person in front of you.
Trust your instincts. If something feels off, it's okay to end the date early.
Dating should be enjoyable! Be yourself, ask questions, and see if there's a connection.
After the date, send a message letting them know you had a good time (if you did!). Honesty is always appreciated.
If there's chemistry, don't wait too long to plan a second date. Strike while the iron is hot!
Yes! Hookt is free to download and use. All core features including matching, messaging, and location tracking are available for free.

No! Location tracking is completely optional and only active when you turn it on. You have full control over when and with whom you share your location.
No! Friends can track your location through a web link in any browser. They don't need to download Hookt.
