Say what you’re open to. Meet people who are too.
Now I’m Open connects like-minded people over ideas, plans and shared interests: a coffee chat about starting a café, a run at East Coast, company in Seoul, or a date. You choose who sees you, we only ever show your area, and photos stay hidden until you both say yes.

How it works
Post an open card
“Open to a walk at MacRitchie”, “Open to talking about a career switch”. Pick a mode, an area and a rough time.
See who’s open nearby
Cards from people in your city who chose to be seen. You see their idea, first name and area, never their exact spot.
Say yes to the right people
Anyone can ask to join; you decide. Photos and profiles open up only when you both say yes.
Meet somewhere public
Chat for 7 days to set a time. Once you’ve both replied, the chat stays open.
Ideas
Talk through something you care about: a business idea, a book, longevity, faith, a career change. No pitching, just good conversation.
Friends
Company for the things you’d rather not do alone: a hike, a gig, a hawker crawl, a new city. Women-only cards if you prefer.
Date
Open to romance, with intentions stated up front. Date cards only reach people who chose Date mode too.
On your own, somewhere new?
Check in to a city for the days you’re there. Travellers and locals who chose to be seen can join your plans: dinner, a market, a museum, a walk. Your city shows; your hotel doesn’t.
Privacy built in, not bolted on
- Area, never your spot. No coordinates or distances, so no one can pinpoint you.
- Mutual. You see people nearby only while they can see you.
- Ideas before looks. Photos appear after you both say yes.
- Check-ins expire on their own and are deleted within 72 hours.
- Scam warnings when a chat mentions money, crypto or moving apps.
- One-tap block and report, reviewed by a person.
A few good picks, every day at noon
Besides the cards nearby, up to six people who share your interests arrive at 12:00. People who already said yes to you come first. No endless scrolling.

Questions
What is Now I'm Open?
A free way to meet like-minded people. You post short cards about what you're open to, like a coffee chat about an idea, a run, company while travelling or a date. People nearby who share your interests can ask to join, and you choose who to say yes to.
Is it a dating app?
It can be, but it doesn't have to be. There are three modes: Ideas, Friends and Date. You pick which ones you're open to, and a Date card never reaches someone who only chose Ideas or Friends.
Can people see where I am?
No one sees your exact location. We only show an area, such as Tiong Bahru or Seoul. You see people nearby only while they can see you, and check-ins expire on their own.
Why are photos hidden?
So people connect over ideas first. Your photos and full profile appear only after you both say yes. It keeps things kinder and takes the judgement out of it.
Does it work when I travel?
Yes. Check in to a city for the days you're there, and you'll see cards from travellers and locals in that city who chose to be seen. It works in 46 cities at launch, plus 39 areas of Singapore.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Everything is free while we launch.
