Meet through
taste.
Rast is a dating app where the first thing you see isn't a face. It's the film they keep rewatching and the song on repeat all week.
- Taste
- Film, series, music, books, games
- Photos
- Blurred until you match
- In chat
- Cards to break the ice
- Platforms
- Coming to Android and iOS
Match by frequency,
not by looks.
Dating apps taught us to judge in half a second. Rast slows that down. You log the films, series, music, books and games you love, and meet people through them.
Five shelves of taste.
Log what you love in any of them. The more your shelves overlap with someone's, the higher they come up in your deck.
Film
Match with someone moved by the same scene.
Series
Six seasons deep is a personality trait. Find someone who agrees.
Music
Your playlist, your best opening line.
Book
Meet someone who underlines the same sentences.
Game
Looking for player two.
Common Ground
Puts something you both have on one card: a title from both your shelves, your two ratings when you've both finished and rated it, and more you share underneath. There's nothing to answer. It's a place to start.
This or That
Two titles from your shelves — listed or logged — side by side. You each choose one. Their pick stays hidden until you make yours, and then you see whether you agree.
Let Rast Ask
A question for the two of you, built around what you have listed and logged. You both answer in your own words, and you only see their answer after you give yours. It never reads your chat.
- 01
Log what you loved
A rating, a line if you feel like it, #tags in your own words.
- 02
The shelf becomes a profile
What you watched, read and heard, and what you said about it.
- 03
The deck reads it
People who share your taste come up first, with a match percentage.
- 04
You both say yes
Photos open for each other and the conversation is waiting.
- 05
Cards, if you want them
Common Ground, This or That, Let Rast Ask or, in a music match, Shared Mix, from the Break the ice tray in the chat.
Cards are optional. A conversation that never plays one is a perfectly normal conversation.
Photos
Blurred in the deck and open the moment you match. Photos you send in a chat are seen only by the two of you.
Location
Optional. Stored rounded to about a kilometre, never your exact address, and used only for distance.
Block and report
On every profile and in every chat.
