Introducing Encore
The one you
almost met.
For the people you noticed but never said hi to. Encore looks for the moment back — the same room, the same hour, two people who actually saw each other.
New York first. Early access this summer.
How it works
Three steps. Nothing else to learn.
- 01
You saw someone
A quiet bar. A long line. The corner of a gallery. You remember the moment — and you didn't say a word.
- 02
You log the room
Open Encore, log where you were. It scopes the search to the same place during the same hour.
- 03
You reconnect
If they remembered you too, you match. You take it from there.
What Encore is
Not another swipe app.
Encore is built around something that's already happened — a real room, a real moment, two people who actually saw each other. No infinite scroll. No strangers from across the city. Just the conversation you almost had.
Private by default
Your moment stays yours.
Your check-ins are invisible to other users until someone you saw remembers you too. We never share your location, and you only appear to people who were in the same room as you.
Early access
Encore opens in New York first.
We're starting with one neighborhood. Join the waitlist to be among the first invited when Encore opens near you.
Questions
Things people ask.
Encore is a mobile app for reconnecting with someone you noticed in real life — and never said hi to. You log where you were, Encore looks for overlap with people who were there at the same time, and if there's mutual interest, you match.
Most dating apps show you everyone who could theoretically be a match. Encore only shows you people you were actually in the same room as. There's no infinite scroll. No strangers from across the city. The person you almost spoke to is the only person Encore is interested in helping you find.
Yes. Encore only works when both people log the same place around the same time. It isn't a way to track someone down — it's a way to re-find someone who was already noticing you back.
Your check-ins are invisible to other users until they're matched with you. We never reveal who's at a venue, and we don't surface you to people who weren't there. For the full breakdown, read the privacy policy.
