NoGhosts is your online dating wingman. We know it's hard for online connections to become IRL ones, and you wouldn't exactly send calendar invites on a dating app. That's where NoGhosts comes in with a simple way to smooth out this bumpy road.
Appearance requests are the NoGhosts way to ask people to meet IRL.
It’s pretty easy.
1. Hit the + button on the home screen to start a new appearance request.
If you know someone who’s a fellow NoGhoster like you- great! You can find them by their username or number.
If not- no problem at all- just tick the box for “Someone not yet a NoGhoster” and enter a name or nickname of the person you’d like to invite to meet you IRL.
2. From there, you can pick a title and select a date. If you don’t have a place or time picked out yet, no problem, you can add that later.
3. Then tap “generate” and you’ll have a link you can share with anyone, anywhere. On a dating app, via a DM or wherever you're connected.
Appearance requests are a call to action.
You might send a meeting invite to your colleague or a client, but let's be real, you're not doing that with someone you just matched with on an app.
Meanwhile, dating apps and most of the places we connect with new people aren’t emphasizing meeting but rather matching and keeping people on the hamster wheel of what we call the "cycle of chatter."
This can be endless without clarity on whether people want to meet or conversations being lost because there isn’t a call to action.
You can control when a request expires, and if someone accepts an appearance request, you can focus the conversation on plans to meet.
Privacy? Check.
You don’t have to give out your phone number or social media. No need to follow or be followed by people you may never meet.
The NoGhosts app will let users chat until they meet without having to share those details.
Points and badges
By sending and responding to appearance requests, you earn points along the way. So, just by being communicative or meeting IRL, you’ll earn points towards new badges on the app.
We think this is a helpful way for people to be recognized for keeping their personal life organized and communicating well with new people. The more actions you take over time, the more badges you unlock.
