Things we probably shouldn't say.

But someone had to.

“I don't want to be reverse looked up after just meeting.”
“Met on Friday, gone by Monday.”
“Keep the mystery. Lose the oversharing.”
“Talk your talk. Hide your digits.”
“Not every stranger needs to become a contact.”
“For the plot, not the paper trail.”
“I don't want my number shared then 'somehow' get spam messages.”
“Let them wonder a little.”
“Because late-night decisions shouldn’t mean permanent baggage.”
“Give them butterflies, not your entire digital footprint.”
“You’re allowed to be a mystery.”
“Some connections deserve an expiration date.”

The moment you know the feeling

Sometimes you like them. You just don't know them yet.

The awkward ask

Great conversation, then the pause. “Can I get your number?” You want to keep talking. You don't want to hand over your whole life to do it.

The quiet scroll

Trading socials means they can see your photos, your friends and your past before you've even said goodnight or that embarassing fake profile you use. That's a lot to give on a first hello.

The easy exit

If it doesn't go anywhere, you can end it cleanly. No number to block, no profile to hide from. Just a connection you chose, and one you can close.

End-to-end encrypted

Messages are scrambled so only you and the person you're talking to can read them.

One-time QR codes

A fresh code each time. Scan it in person to connect.

No discovery

No search. No swiping. No one can find you.

Questions

Can people find me in the app?

No. There is no search and no browsing. The only way someone can connect with you is if you show them your QR code, or scan theirs.

Do I have to give my phone number to the person I meet?

No. You verify your phone number with us once so we can confirm you're a real person with a real number. The people you connect with only ever see your display name and/or username.

Can you read my messages?

No. Messages are end-to-end encrypted, and your chats are stored on your phone, not on our servers. Our servers only pass along scrambled messages so they can reach the other person.

What if someone is bothering me?

You can mute, block or disconnect from anyone at any time, and you can report them. Reporting is always your choice.

Who can use NotYet?

Anyone 18 or older in the United States.

How much does it cost?

The app is free to download. An optional Premium plan unlocks extra profile customization and post connection features for $1.99/month. Billing and refunds are handled by Apple or Google. See our refund policy.

Real connections. No strings attached.

Your privacy. Your choice. Always.
