By Poliamore Team Published Updated Reading time 5 minutes

Short answer

Poliamore lets you create an individual or couple profile, Discover people nearby, match, chat with protected photos, join community Plans and browse Places with reviews. Adults 18+ only.

Discover and profiles

In Discover you see individual or couple profiles, with filters for distance, age, profile type, identity and orientation. Exact location is never shown—only approximate distance, which you can hide.

The product is built for relationships and community within polyamory and ethical non-monogamy—not impersonal casual encounters framed as dating.

Matches, likes and chat

When you match, chat opens only between those people. You get likes with a message (one free per day). Chat photos arrive protected (blurred until tapped).

Plans and Places

With Plans, any user can propose a community meetup; the organizer approves attendees and there is a group chat. Poliamore does not run official brand events.

Places is a directory of friendly venues with community reviews.

Privacy and control

You can report or block confidentially, pause your profile, download your data and delete your account in the app. More on our safety 18+ page.

Where to get it

Android is on Google Play. On iPhone, request TestFlight beta via [email protected] while the public App Store listing is not live. You can also open it in the browser at app.poliamore.app. See the FAQ and guides.
