01
A matchmaker’s questionnaire
Values, life plans, pace, the way you love: around a hundred questions, designed like an interview at a matchmaking agency. You also tell us what you’re open to in someone else, and what truly matters to you.
The serious dating app · The date comes firstNo swiping.
No chatting.
A real date.
A matchmaking-agency questionnaire, one person chosen for you each week, and a first date that is already arranged: venue, theme, time.
Available on iPhone and Android.
Our stance
We removed everything that kept you from actually meeting.
Dating apps have you spend hours sorting through profiles and keeping alive conversations that fade away. Aparté does the opposite: less choice, more attention, and a date that really happens.
Read our manifestoHow it works
Five steps, one meeting.
From the questionnaire to the first drink, every step is designed so that all you have to do is show up.
02
One person, chosen for you
Every week, the algorithm forms the best pairs across the whole city. You receive one match, just one, with a compatibility score and three concrete reasons.
03
Your date is already arranged
No endless back-and-forth. Three venues to rank, a theme, a few time slots: you each choose on your own, and the app picks the first slot you share and the venue that suits you both best.
04
Five questions to break the ice
Before you meet, you each ask five questions chosen from a curated set. No free text, no contact details: just enough to make you want to meet.
05
The conversation opens afterwards, on a mutual yes
After the date, you each say privately whether you’d like to see the other person again. Messaging only opens if you both say yes. Nobody ever knows who said no.
What changes
The standards of an agency, the ease of an app.

Our algorithm
Compatibility that has to work both ways.
Your answers, what you’re open to in someone else and how much each criterion matters: compatibility is calculated in both directions. A match is only suggested if it suits you both.
Understand the algorithmThree concrete reasons
Every match comes with its score and three reasons, never drawn from a sensitive answer.
Your deal-breakers
Up to five non-negotiable criteria, respected in both directions.
No paid advantage
Subscribing changes nothing in the rankings: it lets you see your match and arrange the date.
Safety
Meet with peace of mind.
Verified profiles, carefully chosen public venues and a safety net on the day.
Verified profiles
A selfie compared with the photos by our team for every profile, and every photo moderated. The verified badge isn’t optional: it’s the condition for receiving a match.
Carefully chosen public venues
Dates take place in selected cafés, wine bars and cultural venues, less than twenty minutes from each of you.
No contact details before you meet
No phone numbers, no social media, no links before the date: a filter blocks contact details in both questions and answers.
A safety net on the day
Arrival confirmed on site, someone close to you informed if you wish, an alert button linked to 112, and a message afterwards to check that all is well.
Reporting in two taps
Every report is reviewed by a member of our team within 24 hours, within one hour if it is serious. The person reported never knows who reported them.
Reliability matters
Standing someone up has graduated consequences. The person who was left waiting is offered a free month and moves up the queue.
Pricing
You only pay once a match is waiting for you.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you were wondering.
Is Aparté just another dating app?
No. There is no swiping and no chatting before you meet: Aparté works like a matchmaking agency. You fill in an in-depth questionnaire, the algorithm introduces you to one person a week, and if you both accept, your first date is arranged for you.
Why can’t we chat before the date?
Written exchanges build expectations, then disappointment, and many conversations never lead to a meeting. Before you meet, you each ask five questions chosen from a curated set: enough to spark curiosity, not enough to say it all.
How much does Aparté cost?
Signing up, profile verification and the questionnaire are free. To see your match and arrange the date, the subscription is €19.99 per month with no commitment, or €199.99 per year (two months free). It is only offered once a match is waiting for you.
I was on the waitlist: how do I activate my offer?
The offer is reserved for email addresses that were on the waitlist before the public launch; it is no longer possible to join it. In the app, open Moi › Offre liste d’attente, enter that address, then open the confirmation link sent by email. Full conditions are in the Terms.
Are profiles verified?
Yes, all of them. Every profile is checked before it can receive a match: a selfie, compared with the profile photos by a member of our team, then deleted, and every photo is moderated.
Which cities is Aparté available in?
Aparté opens first in the Aix-Marseille area (Marseille, Aix-en-Provence and nearby towns), then city by city, so that every match is a fair one. Matching starts once a city has enough verified profiles: the first matches arrive within a few days to a few weeks, while the city fills up. Get the app and answer the questionnaire: your profile will be ready as soon as your city opens.
