Ember

Now accepting early members

Match with people who actually want to meet you.

Verified profiles. Fewer bots. No endless swiping.

Ember is a dating app built around verified profiles and real intent. Instead of endless swiping, we focus on connecting people who are genuinely looking to meet — with verification badges that build trust from the first message.

How it works

Three steps, in order.

01

Create your profile

Add a few photos and answer a handful of prompts. No character quizzes, no forced personality tests.

02

Get verified

A short selfie check confirms you're a real person and match your photos. It takes about a minute.

03

Start matching

See verified people nearby who share your intent — dating, not just chatting.

Verification tiers

Three badges. Real signals.

Basic

Gold VIP

$29.99 / month

The full Ember experience — unlimited everything, top profile placement, and exclusive verification status. Founding Gold members get first pick of the badge design.

Trust & safety

How we keep it real.

Verification isn't cosmetic

Every badge requires a live selfie matched against your profile photos. Accounts that fail verification can't message anyone.

Bots don't get in

New sign-ups run through device, behavior, and photo checks before they can appear in anyone's feed.

Report and block work instantly

Reports go to a human moderator within 24 hours. Blocks are one tap and mutual — they can't see you either.

You control your data

Delete your account and we remove your data within 30 days. We never sell it, ever.

FAQ

Straight answers.

How does matching work?+

You set what you're looking for (dating, long-term, casual) and we show you verified people nearby with compatible intent. No hidden score, no ranking.

What data do you collect?+

Your profile info, verification photo, and app usage. We don't sell it and we don't share it with advertisers. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

How do I cancel?+

Cancel anytime from Settings → Subscription. You keep access until the end of your billing period. No emails, no retention flow.

How do I report someone?+

Tap the ⋯ menu on any profile or chat and choose Report. A human reviews every report within 24 hours.

Is verification required?+

Yes. You can't message anyone until you complete the selfie check. That's the point — everyone in your feed has been verified too.
