How it works

Three steps to a real date

No games, no endless swiping. Just a shorter path from “hello” to “see you at seven”.

01

Create your vibe

Build a profile that actually feels like you — a few photos, a couple of prompts, and what you’re looking for. Three minutes, no résumé required.

02

Match on what matters

Our vibe-check pairs you with nearby singles who share your interests and intentions. Fewer profiles, better ones.

03

Meet in the real world

One tap turns a match into a plan — Solstice suggests date spots you’ll both love, right between your two neighborhoods.

Why Solstice

Built for chemistry, not mindless swiping

Vibe Check

A 60-second video prompt before you match — hear their voice, catch their smile, skip the small talk. No catfish, no surprises.

Meeting someone new should feel exciting — never risky. Here’s what runs quietly in the background.

AI triage plus a real human team, around the clock, in your language.

We never sell personal data, and your exact location always stays private.

Good questions

Frequently asked

Is Solstice free to use?

Yes. Creating a profile, matching, and chatting are free, forever. An optional Solstice Plus adds perks like seeing who liked you and unlimited Golden Hour Mode.

How does photo verification work?

When you sign up, we ask for a short selfie video following a random pose. Our AI compares it with your photos, and a human reviewer confirms. Verified members get the blue badge — most are approved in minutes.

What makes Solstice different from other dating apps?

Three things: intention-first profiles, video Vibe Checks before you match, and suggested real-world dates. We optimize for fewer, better matches — people who actually want to meet.

Is my data safe?

Your messages are encrypted in transit and at rest, we never sell personal data, and you can export or delete everything from Settings in two taps. Fully GDPR and CCPA compliant.

I’m on Android — can I join too?

Absolutely. Solstice is available on both the App Store and Google Play, with full feature parity. Your matches and chats sync across devices.

How do I delete my account?

Settings → Account → Delete. Two taps, no guilt trip. Your data is erased from our servers within 30 days.
