IRL Intros is still in its early stages, and our goal is to get as many people trying it as possible. Charging or showing ads right now would slow that down, so it’s completely free while we grow and learn.
Nope — that’s not our business model. Your data isn’t something we sell or share. We’re focused on helping people connect, not collecting information about them. You can read more in our Privacy Policy.
IRL Intros officially launched in 2025. It’s a brand-new way to meet people for shared experiences, and we’re constantly improving it.
The team behind IRL Intros is based in San Diego, California, but the app is built for people everywhere in the US.
When you find someone who shares your interests, go to their profile and tap Schedule Intro. From there, you can propose a time for a quick video Intro. You’ll meet face-to-face online first, before deciding to meet IRL (in real life).
Right now, you can send a message to anyone while we’re growing our user base. Soon, we’ll require a video Intro before messaging is unlocked, which helps keep conversations safe and genuine.
Connections expire after 14 days if no Intro is scheduled. This helps keep the app fresh and ensures people are active and serious about meeting.
By requiring a video Intro before in-app messaging (coming soon), IRL Intros makes it harder for scammers to hide behind fake profiles. We also review activity closely, and additional safety features are on the way.
IRL Intros works everywhere, but our plan is to roll out city-by-city over time to make sure local communities have enough members to thrive.
IRL Intros was created by a father and son team (Mo and Bas) based in San Diego. Feel free to learn more About Us.
IRL Intros is for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account.
