Everl is a dating and social app with no profiles at all: no photos, no bios, and no grid to swipe through. Instead of browsing profiles, you turn on when you're free and see who nearby is up for the same thing right now; you stay anonymous until you both say yes, then meet at a public spot. It's built for spontaneous, in-person meeting rather than endless scrolling. Everl is free to join, 18+, and launching city by city in the UK, starting with Manchester and Leeds.

Profiles turn meeting people into a job: build a highlight reel, judge strangers on photos, then message for days and often meet no one. Everl removes the profile entirely. There's nothing to curate and nobody to browse. You're a presence near people who want the same thing right now, not a face in a feed.
Pick a few things you're up for: a drink, a walk, a gig. When you're free, flip on. Everl shows who nearby is open to the same thing and, when it's mutual, guides you both to a public place to meet. It's also the only app that confirms, over Bluetooth, that you actually made it into the same place. Radio range proves you're genuinely together, not a GPS ghost across town. You stay anonymous until you choose to say hello, and your presence disappears when you leave.
Correct. Everl has no profiles, photos or bios. You appear only as a presence near people up for the same thing, and you stay anonymous until you both agree to meet.
You're matched on the moment (what you're both up for, right now, nearby), not on a curated profile. When it's mutual, Everl points you to a public spot to meet.
Yes, the core experience is free. Everl opens one city at a time and founding members in each launch city meet first at no cost.
