Global dating · 18+ · swimwear-mandatory

Show your swim. Skip the catfish.

Tanline is the dating app for adults who are done with the right angle and the AI portrait. Real swimwear, real bodies, verified before the first DM — so the dater on the other side of the screen is the dater on the date.

The manifesto

The mainstream apps optimize on the photo. Tanline optimizes on the meet-up.

That is a different product, a different pipeline, and a different category. The body-positive casual-encounter lane finally gets the platform it’s been asking for — one that takes the real body, the real age gate, and the honest intent tag seriously.

The four principles

What we will not compromise on.

  1. 01 · Honesty

    Show the body you bring to the date.

    Most apps ask for a face; we ask for the actual body, in swimwear, on day one. Catfish lives in the gap between the photo and the person. Closing that gap is the entire product.

  2. 02 · Adults only

    18+ is a hard gate, not a checkbox.

    Yoti, AgeChecker and Persona gate every profile before the first DM. The swimwear check + age-estimation API is how Tanline closes the loophole mainstream apps left open.

  3. 03 · Honest intent

    The line belongs to the user.

    Casual, one-night, short-term or longer — every new profile picks an intent tag, and the matching surfaces compatible tags first. The product does not set the line; the user does.

  4. 04 · Body-positive

    Body-diverse daters built the niche. We productized it.

    WooPlus and Bustr flirt with the lane; Tanline ships it. A $12B category for adults tired of being served with filters finally gets a platform that takes them seriously.

“Other apps let you hide behind an angle. Tanlinewants the real shape on the beach — that is what makes the date an actual date.”
