Made with love

We built the opposite
of a dating app.

Swiping made us lonely. Endless text threads that go nowhere. Matches that never meet. Profiles that feel like résumés. We're all tired of it.

Found is not another dating app. It's a matchmaker — a quiet one that lives on your phone and pays attention to the world around you.

When you open Found, you tell us who you are, what you value, and what you're really looking for. Our AI learns the shape of your heart — not just your height and hobbies. Then it waits.

Two strangers crossing paths on a busy city street — the Found moment

And then one day, something magical happens.

You're at your favourite café. You're walking the coast. You're just living your life. Your phone quietly notices someone nearby — someone whose values, humour, and intentions match yours. Not because they swiped right. Because they're actually the one you've been looking for.

They appear in your Waiting Room. You hear their voice before you see their face. You have only a few messages — not hundreds — because we believe real connection happens in person, not on a screen.

Meet in person. Or let them go. No pressure. No endless scrolling. No performing for strangers. Just real life, made a little more magical.

AI that understands you

Our matchmaking engine learns who you are — not just what you look like — and finds people who truly fit.

📍

GPS-powered serendipity

When someone compatible crosses your path in real life, Found notices — and gently lets you know.

A few words, not a thousand

Limited messages by design. Real connection belongs in person — not in endless text threads.

Meet in real life

Found exists to get you off your phone and across the table from someone who actually matters.

The moment Found was made for.

A glimpse

This is how it feels
when you stop swiping.

90 seconds of the world Found was made for.

🌊 Born in Manly · Built for the world
"Found was born from one simple belief — that the person you're looking for is already walking past you. We're just here to notice."
— The Found Team

Found isn't just a dating app.
It's the friend who has your back.

We know what it feels like to be tired. Tired of swiping. Tired of performing. Tired of wondering if there's something wrong with you because nothing has worked. Tired of hoping, and then being let down again.

We built Found because you deserve better. You deserve a space that understands you, remembers what you're looking for, and quietly works in your corner — even when you forget to.

Found is your personal matchmaker,
your quiet cheerleader,
your wise friend at 2am,
and the person who notices the one you almost missed.

AI that knows your heart

Found's intelligent matchmaker learns the shape of who you are — your values, your humour, the way you love. Then it searches the world for the one who fits.

A coach in your corner

Not sure what to say? Stuck on a date? Found's AI coach is right there with gentle, personalised advice — like a friend who's been there, without the judgement.

Honest insights, gentle growth

Pulse checks track how each connection feels — the magic, the doubts, the red flags. Found helps you see clearly, so you can choose wisely.

Voice before photos

A voice carries more truth than any filter ever could. Hear someone's warmth, their humour, their soul — before you ever see their face.

Question cards that go deep

Beautiful prompts that skip the small talk and take you somewhere real. Found helps you find the courage to ask what actually matters.

We're here until the end

First date butterflies, hard conversations, moments of doubt — Found walks with you through every step. Not just until you match. Until you find the one.

Don't look far away
for the one you're looking for.

They're not in another city. They're not across an ocean.
They're on your morning walk. In the café where you get your coffee.
In the queue at your local bookshop. On the train you take every day.

They're already in your world —
you just haven't noticed them yet.

Found is built for your daily life. Your everyday routine.
The person waiting for you is closer than you think.

A quiet hopeful moment — the feeling Found was built to give you

"Whatever you've been through,
whatever dating apps have done to your heart —
we've got you now."

— Our promise

"The best connections aren't found on a screen.
They happen when two people are brave enough
to exist in the same moment."
— The Found Philosophy

The honest answers.

Everything you might be wondering before you download.

Is Found really free?

Yes. Your first match is completely free — no trial countdown, no credit card. You can hear voice intros, see who's crossed your path, and unlock your first connection at no cost. Premium plans unlock unlimited matches, AI coaching, and deeper insights.

How does the "crossing paths" feature work?

Found uses your phone's location quietly in the background. When someone whose values, intentions, and personality match yours is physically nearby — at the same café, walking the same beach, on the same train — our AI matchmaker recognises the moment and gently lets you know. No pings, no spam. Just the right person at the right time.

Is my location data private?

Always. Found never shares your exact location with anyone — not other users, not advertisers, never. Matching happens through anonymised proximity signals. Your privacy is the foundation of everything we build.

Why are messages limited?

Because real connection doesn't happen in text threads. We give you just enough words to break the ice — then we trust you to take it offline. No more weeks of back-and-forth that leads nowhere. Found is built to get you across a real table, not a glowing screen.
