Frequently asked questions

Which dating app is best for a serious relationship?

Apps built around a large swipe feed reward volume, not commitment. Apps built around fewer, intentional introductions tend to fit people who want something serious. The honest test is whether the design rewards the outcome you actually want.

Are dating apps worth it?

For many people the apps work, but the infinite-feed model also produces real burnout. The question is not whether apps work in general, but whether the specific app's design matches what you are dating for.

Five curated introductions a day.

Kindex is built for people who want something real, not an endless feed. Your matchmaker chooses five people a day, for mutual interest, and tells you why. Founding members join free.
