Your question opens the chat.
You choose the question at the end of your profile. Anyone who wants to talk to you answers it first.
Read someone before you see them.
Unblurred is a dating app where you get to know someone through their words first. Your photos unblur for each other once you connect.
The problem
Most matches end at hey.
Most apps show you too many faces and ask you to decide in a second. You match, someone writes hey, nothing happens, and you start again.
A better way to start
Start with their question.
Everyone has a question you can answer. Answering it gives you an easier way to break the ice and create a meaningful first impression.
How Unblurred works
Read the profile first.
You turn pages as if you were reading a book.
Answer their question.
Your answer goes to them as a request. They read it before they decide.
Connect deeper.
As you progress in the relationship, your chat moves from stage 0 to stage 5. This helps you see where you are putting effort.

Unblur their photo as you connect deeper with them.
Built for people who read to the end.

A note from the founder
Getting to know someone shouldn’t start and end with a photo. We kept watching it happen anyway: a face, a decision in a second, a hey that went nowhere.
We spent two years building Unblurred around a different order. You read someone, answer the question they chose, and talk. We never wanted the photo to feel like a prize, so the conversation carries the weight, and the photo arrives once you’ve both chosen it.
Before we built it, we asked people across Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East what they wanted from a dating app. One wish kept coming back: show me this isn’t one-sided. So you both answer, you both put in effort, and both photos unblur at the same moment.
