How it works

Meeting someone is only the beginning.

  1. Find your people.

    Join groups for the things you enjoy: running, board games, cooking, culture. Started by people from your city.

  2. Show up.

    A meetup of your group, a dinner night, an event in town. You see in advance who is coming — and who you already know.

  3. Stay in touch.

    Connect with the people you have met. What they are up to next is the first thing you see when you open lingr.

Groups

Find people through what you love.

A running club, a game night or new in town: in a group you get to know people through a shared hobby instead of a photo. If your group doesn't exist yet, start it yourself and invite friends with a link.

Meetups

What are you up for?

Host a dinner night or join the Sunday run. As the host, you decide who comes along. The exact place is only visible to the people who are in — and only once there are at least three of you.

  • Running

    Together instead of alone, at your own pace.

  • Dinner night

    Everyone brings something, everyone eats together.

  • Game night

    Board games, cards, quizzes – and lots of laughs.

  • Movie night

    Couch, a film, good company.

  • Bar

    A drink in your neighbourhood.

Events

What is on in your city this week.

Pride, club nights, readings, concerts: your city's queer events in one place. Before you head out, you see who is going and who of them you already know. Going alone doesn't feel like going alone anymore.

People

What you share comes first.

Every day, lingr shows you people you have something in common with: a group, a meetup, an event. Always with the reason. No map, no distance — just what connects you.

Profile

You decide who sees how much.

Your profile shows what makes you you: interests, a few questions, what you are here for. Your age, your social media and more photos are only visible to the people you share them with — for a day, a week or until you take it back.

Hide from contacts Right at sign-up

No unwanted outing.

A colleague, your brother-in-law, the neighbour downstairs: pick them from your address book, and you don't see each other on lingr. You can do this right at sign-up, before anyone sees you at all. Nobody is notified.

More about hiding from contacts →

Safe-Meet Optional

Someone looks out for you without learning a thing.

Before a meetup you note where you are and by when you want to be back. Your trusted person sees none of it — only that something is going on. If you check in on time, everything is deleted. If you don't, they get the details automatically.

More about Safe-Meet →

Authenticity status

You can see who is real.

People who know you can confirm that your profile is real. The more confirmations someone has, the surer you can be. Only your connections can confirm you — and every confirmation can be taken back.

Why lingr

What lingr does differently.

What you share, not distance.

No grid sorted by metres: you see people you share a group, a meetup or an event with. Others only see your city and district.

Nobody gets filtered out.

No filters by body or background. Profile texts that shut others out don't go through — and there is zero tolerance for hate.

Safety never costs extra.

Hiding from contacts, Safe-Meet and who can find you: on lingr, safety and visibility are never for sale.

No ads, no tracking.

No ads, nothing for advertisers. Your data is stored on servers in Germany, and you can delete your account yourself at any time.

How it looks

Nobody gets filtered out

This is how you filter on lingr: by what someone is here for and by interests. Body measurements and background are not filters — lingr doesn't even ask for them.

Frequently asked questions

Who is lingr for?

For queer, gay and bisexual men aged 18 and over, cis and trans, who want to meet new people and do things together.

Can others see where I am?

No. There is no map of people and no distance. Others only see your city and district.

When and where does lingr launch?

In early 2027. The app will be available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with groups and meetups starting in Munich. Everyone on the waiting list hears the date first.

What does lingr cost?

Nothing. If something paid is added later, we will say so openly. Safety and visibility will never cost anything.

All questions →

We'll let you know as soon as it starts.

One email when the app is out. After that, only when there is really something to say.
