A new way to date in Portland.
Hearth is starting in Portland. You talk to Ember, she gets to know you, and she introduces you to people nearby, the way a good friend would. When you're ready to meet, she plans the date somewhere in the city.
Core features are free · iPhone, on the App Store
One city at a time, starting here.
A dating app works when the people on it are close enough to meet. So instead of spreading thin across every city at once, Hearth is starting with Portland.
The people Ember introduces you to are nearby, and the dates she plans are at real places around the city. Tell her the vibe and she finds the spots, lays out the night, and adds it to your calendar.
No swiping. Just introductions.
You talk to Ember.
Tell her who you are and what you're looking for, by voice or text. No forms. No bio box.
She introduces you.
A couple of introductions a day, each one written for that specific match. Ask her about someone before you decide. Mutual interest creates a connection.
She plans the date.
Pick the vibe and she builds the evening around real venues, then adds it to your calendar. Plan it solo or together with your match.
- Everyone scans an ID to confirm they're 18+
- No anonymous profiles
- No endless feed
