Flare is the LGBTQ+ app for dating and meeting people near you — built safety-first, so you can be yourself without worrying about who's watching.
❤️ MEET PEOPLE NEARBY
See who's around you on the grid, filter by what matters to you, or swipe when you're in the mood. Tap to break the ice, match, and take it from there.
⚡ OPEN — WHO'S FREE RIGHT NOW
Flip yourself to "Open" and see who's up for something now, tonight, or soon — coffee, drinks, a date, or just company.
🗺️ A LIVE MAP OF YOUR SCENE
Explore LGBTQ+ venues and community spots around you, see where things are busy, and find sexual-health services nearby when you need them.
🎉 REAL MEETUPS
Join meetups and gatherings hosted by people in your community — or host your own, approve who joins, and keep the location private until you're ready to share it.
💬 CHAT THAT PROTECTS YOU
Photos, voice messages, reactions, and replies — plus private albums you control. Share an album for a limited time, see when it's opened, revoke access anytime. Screenshots of private content are blocked, and if someone tries, you'll know.
🛡️ SAFETY ISN'T A PREMIUM FEATURE
• Age verification on every account
• AI-assisted photo and content moderation
• Block and report anywhere, reviewed by real people
• Watermarked private media that traces leaks
• Stealth options for when discretion matters
Flare is made for the whole LGBTQ+ community — every identity, every letter, everywhere on the spectrum. Zero tolerance for hate, harassment, or discrimination.
Flare is for adults 18+ only.
Some features are enhanced with Flare Plus and Premium subscriptions. Flare is free to download and use.
