The two mechanics that are Horst — try them
Step 1 of 2 · your flags
You write three red flags before a single photo. The coach won't let you hide behind a cute one.
Horst's actual IP. AI runs the coaching — it rejects the lazy or trauma-dump version and pushes for specific, self-aware honesty. It never writes the flag for you.
↑ type, or tap "lazy" / "raw dump" / "a real one"
The pond · Berlin
Her photo stays locked until you tap "I can live with this." It's reciprocal — your card unlocks for her too. You opt into the flaw before you ever see the face.
↑ tap "I can live with this"
The rest of the loop — waitlist → verify → match → chat → exit → profile
You're on the list · Berlin
The Berlin pond opens the day it fills. No empty ponds — everyone dives in at once.
Scarcity is the product. One city, capped, opens only when liquid.
One quick thing
A quick liveness check keeps bots and catfish out of the pond.
1-to-1 check only · we never guess
your type from your face
Verified humans only. GDPR-minimal; no orientation inference (EU AI Act line).
It's mutual
You each read the other's red flags first. No surprises. Say something honest.
A match means both sides revealed. Reciprocity by design.
Mara · 🚩 read
The app nudges consistency — the real early trust-builder, per the research.
Un-match
Leaving costs one honest line. Private, just to them. It's the whole brand — honesty includes the goodbye.
One-line reason, rate-limited & moderated. Dignity, not a harassment vector.
