How it works
Add the options, such as restaurants or shows, and share one link.
Everyone swipes right on what they'd accept and left on what they wouldn't.
Any option approved by everyone becomes a match, and the group sees the results once you reveal them.
What is swipe match?
Swipe match turns a group decision into a quick swiping session instead of a scrolling debate. Each person swipes through the same list of options, right for anything they'd genuinely accept and left for anything they wouldn't, the same motion people already use on dating and shopping apps.
An option becomes a match only once everyone in the group has swiped right on it. That makes swipe match an approval-style method under the hood: there's no ranking and no single pick, just a fast yes-or-no per option per person. If nothing gets a full match, the results still show which options came closest.
It's built for the kind of decision that usually turns into an endless group chat thread: where to eat tonight, what to watch, which coffee shop to try. Swiping through a short list takes only a minute or two per person, and nobody has to be the one who finally picks.
Related ways to decide
Best for
Deciding where to eat with friends
Swipe through a shortlist of restaurants and land on the one place everyone would actually go.
Picking what to watch
Turn a movie picker for groups into a quick swipe session instead of a long debate in the group chat.
Small, casual groups
Works best with a handful of people who want a fast answer rather than a formal vote.
When to use something else
Swipe match is approval voting with a faster, more casual feel, which makes it a natural fit for low-stakes picks like food or movies. If the group wants a single clear winner ranked by preference instead of a match, ranked choice or this or that fit better. For a plain checklist without the swipe interaction, approval does the same underlying job.
