Your match could be one init away.

HOW IT WORKS

Simple. Private. Powerful.

Four steps to finding out what you've always wondered.

1
You
You open Init and pick someone — let's say Alex.

You select the categories that describe what you feel:

☕ Hangout 💫 Date ❤️ Love
🔒 Your interest is saved privately. Alex sees nothing.
2
Alex
Separately, Alex opens Init and picks you — without knowing you did.

Alex selects their own categories independently:

☕ Hangout 💼 Business 💍 Marriage
🔒 Alex's interest is also private. You can't see it. Alex can't see yours.
✦
Init quietly checks for overlapping categories...

Mutual Match!
Both of you are notified at the exact same moment. Neither of you knew before right now.

🔒
Your secret stays yours. Forever.
Alex didn't select Hangout. Nothing happens. Alex never knows you expressed interest. You'll never know they didn't.
No awkwardness. No damaged friendship.
🔒 PRIVACY FIRST

Your feelings are yours — until the universe decides otherwise.

We built Init from the ground up with one principle: your feelings are your most private thing. We treat them that way.
