01 profile build

compose yourself.

Your profile is a visual grid — 27 cells in 3 layers of nine. Be creative to get the best results. Your face sits at the centre. Everything else surrounds it.

Stack photos with boats for best results.

02 search set up

sail for love or friends.

Twenty-one cells, full ship control. Write what's actually true for you — the thing, the sentence. Set each one to friends, love, or both.

Boat meets land when someone else writes the same thing.

03 range

set your range.

Two dials — one for friends, one for love. Drag the distance. Pull the triangle tips to set the age range you want to filter by. On or off. Simple as that.

04 main interface

you'll know it when you see it.

You both side by side. See what fits for you, complete your cells, then make something together.

Complete to leave and take the conversation elsewhere.

05 settings

no hidden features, ever.

Control your visibility, manage your account, and set the boundaries that feel right for you. Paper Boat is for adults, and over.

Paper Boat is an honest attempt to fix something that's genuinely broken. The formats of most dating apps are the problem. The photo-first filter, the composed bio, the swipe, the boosts — these aren't neutral design choices. It's cruel. They make people feel disposable whilst on the end of a predatory business model. We built the whole thing again, from scratch.

The other apps need you to stay single. We don't. One price. Nothing hidden.
