Something happened before hello.

A new approach to dating, launching first in the United States.

Ghosted? Your Ticket comes back.

  1. This is a Ticket.

    You need one to start a conversation. Tickets are the only thing we sell, and they don’t expire.

  2. You start a conversation.

    When you both like each other, it’s a soft match, and either of you can start a conversation with a Ticket. A soft match lasts 21 days. A conversation that uses a Ticket makes it a hard match, which doesn’t expire.

  3. Then it goes one of two ways.

    Here are both, side by side.

  4. A week goes by.

    If they don’t reply in 7 days, the Ticket comes back to you, automatically. If they reply, you have until the later of 7 days after you started and 48 hours after their reply to reply back.

  5. Used only when you both reply.

    No reply: your Ticket came back, ready to use again, and either of you can start over with a Ticket. They replied and you replied back: the Ticket is used, it’s a hard match, and you keep talking without another Ticket.

We put the fine print in big print.

What is Curtains?

A new dating app for iPhone, for adults 18 and older in the United States. There are no subscriptions and no ads.

Is it free?

Creating an account is free. Tickets are the only thing we sell, in bundles through Apple’s in-app purchase. There are no subscriptions, and you’re never charged again automatically.

How do Tickets work?

You need a Ticket to start a conversation, and it’s used only if they reply and you reply back before the deadline (the later of 7 days after you start and 48 hours after their reply); otherwise it comes back to you automatically.

How Tickets work, with examples
Do Tickets expire?

No. Tickets you buy don’t expire. They can’t be transferred and have no cash value.

Can I cancel a purchase?

Yes. You can cancel any Ticket purchase within 3 business days for a full refund.

Is the face check identity verification?

No. At sign-up, your phone compares a selfie with your profile photos. The check runs on your phone, there’s no badge, and it doesn’t tell anyone who you are.
