Members-only · Safety-first dating

Date people who've actually been vetted.

SMITN verifies every member with a criminal record check and a real LinkedIn identity before they ever reach your feed. Then Hitch, your private AI dating coach, helps you turn good matches into something real. Built first for the safety of women.

Why SMITN exists

Safety isn't a setting. It's the whole foundation.

Most dating apps optimize for volume. SMITN optimizes for trust. Every person you see has cleared a background check, signed in with a verified professional identity, and agreed to a community where ghosting and bad behaviour carry real consequences.

We built it for women first — the people who carry the most risk on a first date — and for the high-quality professionals who'd rather meet fewer, better people than swipe through thousands of strangers. When everyone is verified, everyone can relax a little.

Getting in

Membership is earned, then verified.

Joining SMITN is a deliberate, three-part process. It's why your matches can trust you — and why you can trust them.

Step 01

Sign in with LinkedIn

No throwaway emails or recycled Instagram handles. SMITN uses LinkedIn single sign-on, so every member arrives with a real, professional identity behind their profile.

Step 02

Complete your safety check

A one-time $149 setup includes a criminal record check. Your record is never shared or shown — it simply unlocks your green Safety check when you meet our standards.

Step 03

Add optional checks

Want to stand out further? Complete the optional financial questionnaire for a blue check. Every verification you add makes you more visible across the app.

The check marks

Two badges. One simple promise.

Green · Included with setup

The Safety check

Confirms a member has never been charged with a violent, sexual, fraud, or identity-theft offence. The record itself stays private — only the verified result is ever shown.

Blue · Optional

The Financial check

An optional questionnaire that confirms financial stability — no recent bankruptcy, for instance. Private by design, and a quiet signal of reliability for those who choose it.

The more verifications you complete, the more often you appear in other members' feeds. Trust is the algorithm.

How did the date with Daniel go last night?
Good! Easy to talk to. He did bring up his ex a lot though.
Noted as something to watch. What felt like a green flag?
He asked great questions and walked me to my car.
Lovely. Since small talk felt like work early on, this might help:

Accountability, built in

A community that keeps dating kind.

SMITN closes the gaps where dating usually goes wrong — the ghosting, the disappearing acts, the people who behave badly without consequence.

No-ghosting feedback loop

Closure, not silence.

Go quiet after a match, leave a chat untouched too long, or choose to unmatch — and a feedback loop opens. You pick from honest, guardrailed options or write your own, and your match can respond in kind.

Once both sides share, the thread closes for good. No lingering, no reopening — just a clean, respectful goodbye.

Private safety scorecard

Patterns the whole community can see.

After a date, you're privately asked whether anything made you uncomfortable — and how. It's never shown to the other person. But repeated, serious concerns don't go unnoticed.

Concerns from different members trigger a SMITN team review.

Safe first-date venues

Meet somewhere that has your back.

SMITN partners with cafés, bars, and restaurants that complete our safety training — so a first date happens somewhere prepared to help.

  • Staff trained to recognize a discreet safe word and step in
  • Clear policies for helping a member get home safely
  • Certified, listed in-app, and given window decals to display
A member who feels unsafe can quietly ask staff for their chosen safe word — and a trained team member takes it from there.

Worth doing properly.

Membership that means something

Cancel whenever you like — but SMITN isn't a revolving door. Re-joining means a 3–6 month wait and completing the full setup and verification again. It keeps the community made of people who are genuinely here.

For partners & sponsors

Reach people, right when it matters.

Date-spot advertising

Be the obvious choice

Restaurants, activities, and experiences can reach members at the precise moment they're deciding where a first date should happen.

Brands aligned with safety, wellness, and connection can support SMITN events and features that bring the community together.

Certified venues

Join the safe-date network

Get trained, get listed, and welcome members who already know your venue is a place that takes their safety seriously.

By invitation

Be smitten — safely.

Request your invite and we'll walk you through verification. The community grows slowly, and on purpose.

No spam. We'll only reach out about your membership.
