beau. - gay dating & chat

beau. is the gay connection app that actually gets it. Built for friendship, dating, and the kinds of community queer people build for ourselves.

ONE PROFILE, MULTIPLE MODES. You don't have to be one thing on beau. Switch your mode with a tap and show up however you feel that day. Each mode has its own visibility rules so what you see, and who sees you, matches what you're actually here for.

REAL PROFILES. Phone-verified, photo-moderated, no fake-account farms. We block VOIP numbers at signup. We catch duplicate profiles. A real human admin reviews every report.

BLOCKING THAT MAKES SENSE. Three tiers, depending on the situation: • Not For Me. Silent removal from your feeds, fully reversible. • Block with reason. For people you've messaged. They see why ("met someone", "not feeling it", "I need space"). Closure, not ghosting. • Safety block. Silent, immediate, reportable. For when something's actually wrong.

SMART MATCHING. Match scoring uses your tags, identity, and vibe, not just photos. We tell you who's a good fit and let you decide.

EVENTS, NOT JUST CHATS. Discover queer events near you. Host your own. RSVPs gate the chat so it's only the people who are actually showing up.

OUT TODAY / OUT TONIGHT. Set a quick status when you're at a bar, coffee shop, or party. Local queers see it for the next few hours and can say hi.

PRIVACY-FIRST BY DEFAULT. • End-to-end encrypted DMs • Screenshot prevention app-wide • Hide-from-contacts blocks anyone in your phone book • No ads, no data sales, no tracking pixels
