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. 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.
