Ether Dating

Swipe fatigue? Meet real people through short, honest videos. No filters. No curated grids. Just you, on camera, being genuine.

Ether is dating without the filters. Instead of a grid of curated photos, everyone's profile starts with a short video intro — because the way someone speaks, laughs, and carries themselves tells you more in 15 seconds than a dozen still images ever could.

HOW IT WORKS

Browse the Discover feed straight away. Every profile is a video — real faces, real voices, and every single one age-verified. A face on camera is the one thing a bot can't fake, so that's all you'll find here: no photo grids, no catfish, no endless swiping.

When you want to reach someone, record your own short video intro — answer a rotating prompt, or freestyle. It takes about 30 seconds, and it's all it takes to start sparking.

Spark someone you like. If they spark you back, it's mutual — and you can start chatting.

Not into their intro but want to say something? Send a short video reply instead. Sometimes that's the best way to stand out.

WHAT MAKES ETHER DIFFERENT

• Video-first: no airbrushed photo grids, no copy-paste bios • Age-verified: every user passes facial age verification • Safety-led: all content is scanned for explicit material before publishing, and we participate in UK CSAM reporting obligations • No algorithmic feed trickery — intros sorted by recency and distance, your filters, your preferences • No bots, no padding: if there's nothing new, your inbox says so

PRIVACY AND TRUST

• All media is stored on private, signed-URL storage — your video isn't indexable, scrapable, or shareable outside the app • We're UK-based, subject to UK GDPR and the Online Safety Act 2023 • You can export or delete your data at any time from Settings > Privacy Centre

PRICING

Ether is completely free right now — browsing, intros, sparks, and chat. No paywalls, no subscriptions, no coins. We'd rather you spend your energy on people, not purchases.
