We know—believe us, we know—how difficult modern dating can be. The swiping, the ghosting, the awkwardness…it was enough to make us want to throw our phones in the nearest body of water.
We wondered at first if we should build another dating app. Surely, we reasoned, there must be something these other apps are missing! After a bunch of research and feedback from real daters, however, we realized that the better path was to create an app that helps you become better at dating.
So Keepler, a dating SUPPORT app, was born! We swapped shallow swipe culture for deep self-growth and decision-making prowess. As it turns out, it works! In fact, our founder is proof of exactly that:
Hi! I’m Rachel, the founder of Keepler. I spent years—nay, decades—dating with no strategy, self-sabotaging at every turn, and twisting myself into knots to fit into relationships that were SO not right for me. It was only over pandemic (sigh) that I decided to try a different approach: I would date online, but I would use the core philosophy of what would become Keepler—that is, consciously avoiding the cheap dopamine hits in favor of intentional, authentic engagement—to get me what I wanted. I went from “Am I good enough? Does this person like me?” to “I am worthy of a fantastic, supportive relationship—how does this person make me feel? What do I need to listen to in my mind and body to make this decision?” If that seems intense, well, yeah, it was! It wasn’t easy, and I was not (and am not) perfect. But it helped me find my now-husband, and I have to say, when it’s right, it’s right.
...plus tons of research and interviews with daters like you who were awesome, but their experience wasn’t.
Over the course of many iterations, we discovered that a combo of progress tracking, personal and community encouragement, and actionable advice was the key to helping daters reach their goals. Features like our Dating Diary, the Keepler Community, and our Peer-to-Peer support system create a holistic experience for our members. We want you to use these features as you date, whether online or IRL, and watch how your experience of dating changes before your eyes. And we’re just getting started! Our aim is to build something for YOU, so if there is something you would like to see on Keepler, drop us a line at community@lovekeepler.com! We can’t wait to meet you.
