Alex is open to meeting

You're both still at Bondi Social

Say Hi
Our story
One

You walk into a place.

A café, a gym, a gig, a rooftop bar. Somewhere you were already going.

Two

You don't know who's open to meeting.

The people around you could be lifelong friends, business partners, travel companions, or someone special. You just can't see it.

Three

Yonda changes that.

We got tired of matching with people we'd never actually meet. So we built the app we wished existed, the Yonda team.

How it works

Five moments, start to finish.

Scene 01

Turn Yonda on

You're somewhere you were going anyway. One tap makes you visible to the people around you, and only them.

9:41●●●●

Yonda is on

Visible at Bondi Social

Scene 02

See who's around

A calm list, not a swipe deck. The venue, how many are here, and what each person is actually up for tonight, with how far away they are.

Scene 03

Make a connection

A nod is the lowest-stakes gesture there is. If it's mutual, you've crossed, and you already know they're interested before you walk over.

9:41●●●●

Alex is open to meeting

You're both still here

Say Yonda
Scene 04

A short window, not a forever list

Once you cross, you get a few minutes to say something while you're both still there. If neither of you acts on it, nothing is saved. That's the point: no graveyard of thousands of matches you never spoke to.

9:41●●●●
4:12

Your window is open

Say hi while you're both still at Bondi Social.

If nothing happens, this quietly disappears. Nothing is stored.
Scene 05

After you've met, you decide

Later, Yonda asks one quiet question: keep them, or not. Choose "Don't show again" and you won't appear to each other again, even at the same venue on the same night. Your call, always, and they're never told.

9:41●●●●

How'd it go with Alex?

Only you see this. Alex is never told what you choose.

Keep in sight
Maybe next time
Don't show again
Tonight, out yonda

Why Yonda

It is not a dating app.

A gym partner, a travel companion, a friend, someone to talk to at the gig, or yes, sometimes something more. Yonda is real-time and venue-based, so you only ever see people who are actually here, right now.

01

Real-time, not a request

No connection requests sitting unanswered, no swipe that might get seen next week. Yonda only shows you people who are in view right now, at the same place, at the same time.

02

No missed windows

Someone a kilometre away on another app could like you back a week from now, long after the moment's gone. On Yonda, if you're both here, you both know it's live.

03

Test the water first

Shy, or just not the type to walk up cold? Send a nod before you approach. If it's mutual, you already know they're interested, no awkward first move required.

04

No stockpiled matches

No endless list of people you'll never actually meet. If you don't connect while you're both there, it drifts, no guilt, no pile-up, no thousands of dead matches.

Privacy by design

Your world. Your rules.

Yonda never shows your exact location, only the venue, and only while you choose to be in view. Nothing tracks you in the background, and when you step out, Yonda quietly steps out too.

Venue-level only, never exact location
No background tracking, ever
Visible only when you choose

Yonda goes live.

No spam. One email when we launch in your city. Your details are never shown to other users.

Questions

Is this a dating app?

No. Yonda is for anyone you might want to meet, a gym partner, a travel companion, a friend, someone to talk to at the gig, or yes, sometimes something more. Romance is one use case among many, not the whole point.

How does Yonda know where I am?

Yonda only knows which venue you're in while you're in view, never your exact location, and never in the background. Step out, and you're invisible again.

Who can see my profile?

Nobody, until you go in view at a venue. Your profile and photos appear only when you decide they do.

What happens if I don't want to see someone again?

After you've crossed with someone, Yonda asks whether to keep them. If you choose not to, you simply won't appear to each other again, even at the same venue on the same night. They're never told, and nothing is shared.

Do I need photos?

No. Photos are optional throughout. You can participate fully without ever adding one.

When does Yonda launch?

We're launching first in Sydney and Melbourne. Join the waitlist to be notified the moment we go live.
