Find people who like what you like
Ruh Esi is not a dating app. It exists so you can meet people to hike with, listen to the same band with, and talk about the same thing for hours.
How it works
Four steps. None of them share your real location.
- 1
Answer questions
Questions grouped into categories. You do not have to finish them in one sitting — open any category whenever you like. The more you answer, the sharper your matches get.
- 2
Pick your interests
From climbing to pottery, chess to freediving. Rare interests count for more: something everyone picks does not distinguish you, something you actually do does.
- 3
See your compatibility
Compatibility is two-way. It is not enough that you like their answers — they have to like yours too. If you set boundaries (smoking, pet allergies), a mismatch there ends the match entirely.
- 4
Meet
See compatible people nearby on the map, send a connection request, start talking.
Your location is not shown on the map
This is not a marketing line, it is how the system works. Your location is rounded to roughly a 3 km area, and the point shown on the map is placed inside that area with a fixed offset unique to you. However many times you open the app, you appear at the same point — so nobody can take several readings and work out where you really are.
Privacy Policy →- Your real coordinates never appear in any API response
- Distance is shown as a range like "~3 km", never a decimal
- Location updates only when you open the app — no background tracking
- Free users see a density map, not individual people
- You can disappear from the map entirely whenever you want
Safety
Photo moderation
Every photo is reviewed before it goes live.
Selfie verification
A selfie in a requested pose confirms the profile is real.
Block and report
One tap away on every screen. Blocking works both ways.
Delete your account
In the app, in one step. You have 30 days to change your mind.
