The matchup app built for Göttingen — genuinely free, actually private, only us.
We open the doors when 1,000 of us are in. No empty app, no randos, no paywall on saying hi.

Claim your spot
Your university or research email is the door key — @uni-goettingen.de, @gwdg.de, @mpinat.mpg.de, @hawk.de, @dlr.de and more. We verify it, count you, and never spam you.
By joining you agree we store your email for the waitlist — that's it. No marketing drip, no sharing, delete any time. The full plain-language deal: our data manifest.
A permanent, numbered Founding Member badge on your profile. You were here first — everyone will know. After that, you're just early.
The plan
When does it launch?
The day we hit 1,000. That's the whole mechanic — nobody swipes in an empty room.
Who can join?
Anyone 18+ with a verified Göttingen-area university or research email — @uni-goettingen.de, @gwdg.de, @mpinat.mpg.de, @hawk.de, @dlr.de, and more. We check your email once at the door, so we're never stuck depending on it still working later — and as shloop grows, we'll layer on more ways to verify you're really you.
Is it really free?
The core — matching and messaging — yes, forever. Premium is extra niceties (like seeing who already liked you), never the basics.
Is it really private?
We don't track or sell you. Don't take our word for it: read the data manifest — what we collect, what we never collect, in plain language.
What about other universities?
Göttingen first. If it works here, we bring it to the next campus — each one gets its own threshold, its own launch, its own flavor. No generic global soup.
What's a shloop?
The sound it makes when you match. You'll see.
