How it works

1

Set Your Filters and Create Your Profile

Set filters for who can match with you to reduce inbox fatigue. Start with the basics today — it's free. We're rolling out city by city. As your city grows, we’ll invite you to add more detail and fine-tune your profile for that perfect match. Once your city hits 500 members you can download the app and start reviewing your matches.

2

Set and forget - we’ll notify you of matches

Unlike Wall Street swiping apps designed to trap you in 'slot machine' dopamine loops, Typ works quietly in the background. Our servers constantly evaluate your profile against others and send you curated, high-quality matches with a clear match score. Think of Typ as your personal matchmaker — right in your pocket — without the matchmaker price tag.

Voice chat to arrange a date

When there’s a mutual like, skip the endless texting. Typ lets you swap short voice messages — real, human, and no AI-washing. It’s the fastest and most authentic way to get a vibe check and lock in your first date.

Free to joinNo commitmentNo gamification, just a Back-to-Basics dating app

Reclaim your sanity. It's time to break up with swiping apps.

Finding your match shouldn’t feel like a slot machine. Typ is the back-to-basics dating app for busy people — built by an indie startup, not a Wall Street boardroom.

Quality over quantity

You won’t be flooded with likes or lost in the crowd. Your filters set a boundary for who can match with you.

Set and forget

Our algorithms work day and night to match you with people who are just your typ(e). We'll notify you when a new match comes along.

Voice chat

No endless texting or AI-rehearsed questions. Our voice message chat exchange lets you get a vibe check without a phone call.

Safe & verified

Designed with safety in mind. All profiles are selfie-verified before they can match. Live support chat if any inappropriate behaviour.

Frequently asked questions

Typ is an underdog indie startup built in a spare bedroom, not a Wall Street boardroom. As singles we are frustrated with swipe-based apps that feel like dopamine slot machines designed to keep us hooked, not help us find someone. Our WHY is simple: build a Back-to-Basics dating app that puts women in control, values time over swipes, and creates real connections instead of endless distractions.

We're built for busy women who value their time. No endless swiping, no gimmicks, no boosts or roses. You set your filters to decide who can match with you. Just Back-to-Basics dating before the apps were broken.

The first 500 members in each city become Founding Members and enjoy Typ free of the monthly membership fee for their first year. After that, or if you join as member 501+, the standard membership is just $5/month. Founding Membership is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis — claim your spot today.

You won't be charged at signup. Founding Members get their first year free. If you join after the first 500 in your city, billing starts once your city goes live and the member pool is large enough for quality matching.

Each city needs to reach a minimum pool (around 500 members with completed profiles) before high-quality, balanced matching is possible. When we hit that threshold, your city goes live and we will invite you to download our app to begin reviewing curated matches.

• Free membership for your first year

• Full access to curated matches

• Founding Member status in your city

• Priority invite when your city goes live

Yes. We may add premium options in the future, but every Founding Member already enjoys a full-featured experience in their first year. For now, our focus is on expanding city by city.

You'll remain on the waitlist until your city reaches launch size. We'll send progress updates (for example, “Melbourne is 78% to launch”) and share tips to help your city get there faster. No charges occur until launch.

Yes. We use selfie verification and review profiles before introductions. We also use voice messages instead of text chats to get a real vibe check and reduce AI-generated conversations.

Absolutely. Typ is inclusive and welcomes all orientations and identities. You set your preferences during signup.

Quality > quantity. Typ is designed to filter out noise. You'll get fewer but better introductions based on a higher match score, and your feedback helps refine future matches.

You can cancel anytime after your city is live. Founding Members never pay the monthly membership fee during their first year. After that, or if you join as member 501+, the standard membership is $5/month. Optional extras like events or workshops may carry separate fees, but your core membership fee is always free in year one if you’re a Founding Member. Standard members can cancel with no hidden fees—cancellations take effect at the end of your billing period.
