Hookups near you

What is litnear?

litnear is an intent-first hookup app for adults 18 and over. Instead of endless swiping, you say what you're looking for (tonight, this weekend, friends with benefits, an ongoing thing) and the people whose intentions overlap yours come up first. Straight, gay, lesbian, bi, pan, trans and queer adults are all welcome.

Is litnear free to use?

Yes. Creating a profile, browsing, matching, chat, the forum and events are all free with no card required. An optional premium tier with Tonight Radar, a live view of members available right now near you, is coming soon.

How does matching work on litnear?

Matching is strictly mutual. Your orientation, intents, roles and kinks are compared with other members', and you're shown people who are compatible on both sides. Chat only opens once both people have liked each other, so every conversation starts with the logistics already half agreed.

Is litnear kink-friendly?

Yes. Kinks, roles and hard limits are structured parts of your profile rather than something to smuggle into a bio. Matches see where you overlap, your limits are always pinned on top, and ignoring someone's stated limit gets you banned.

Can other people see exactly where I am?

No. Other members only see your distance in kilometres, never your exact location or a pin on a map, and location data is stripped from every photo you upload.

Is my data encrypted?

Yes, at rest. Your messages, photos, videos, voice notes and every other file you upload, plus forum posts, private event addresses and reports, are stored encrypted with AES-256 and stay encrypted in our backups. The keys are held on our servers, so this protects stored data if a disk or backup ever leaked.

How is litnear's privacy different from other dating apps?

Many dating apps store chats as readable text and have staff or software look through them. On litnear every message, photo, video and voice note is stored encrypted, there's no screen for anyone here to browse your chats, and a moderator only sees the recent messages a member attaches to a report. Your profile and photos are only shown to signed-in members, and other members only ever see your distance, never where you are.

Are my chats private?

Chats open only between mutual matches and are stored encrypted. Not even our admins have a way to open your chats: there's no admin screen for them. The only messages a moderator ever sees are the recent ones someone in the conversation attaches to a report, plus your chat with the litnear team account itself.

How else does litnear protect my privacy?

No real names are required, and litnear never connects to your social accounts. Photos are served only to signed-in members, you can blur them until you choose to reveal them, and private albums open only to the matches you choose. You can go invisible for an hour, a day or a week, and deleting your account removes your profile, photos and posts for good.

Who can join litnear?

Anyone 18 or older, of every gender and orientation. Age is checked at signup and the platform is strictly adults-only. Members can report or block anyone; accounts reported by multiple different people are hidden automatically pending review.
