Most dating apps are designed to keep you inside them. Bumper is designed to get you out.
Here's how it works:
Toggle on when you're physically out and open to meeting someone. See nearby people who are doing the same. Send a bump if someone catches your eye. If it's mutual, you get a light icebreaker and five messages to make something of it. Then you go meet them.
That's it. No swiping. No algorithm. No profile built to perform. Just presence, proximity, and a little mutual courage.
Why five messages?
Because the conversations that matter don't happen on a screen. The limit isn't a restriction, it's the design. Bumper pushes toward the moment that dating apps were supposed to lead to, but rarely do.
Profiles are minimal by choice.
One photo. An age range. A proximity signal. Enough to feel something, not enough to overthink it. Chemistry is real-time.
Bumper is for the person who's tired of the pipeline.
Match, chat, reschedule, disappear. We skipped all of that. If two people are in the same place at the same time and both want to say hello — that should be easy. Bumper makes it easy.
