Why it matters

Dating apps are broken.

Rome is built for the moments that already meant something: a look across the room, a conversation in line, or someone you wish you had approached.

Most dating apps optimise for endless browsing, paid boosts, and decisions made from a handful of photos.

Judging people based on profiles is flawed. We think that some of the best indicators of compatibility are often found before anyone opens an app — eye contact on the train, a quick conversation in line, or dancing next to someone for hours at a festival.

Rome uses privacy-first Bluetooth proximity and event attendance to help you revisit and connect with people you have genuinely crossed paths with.
