Every love story starts with a place.
Pick a real Chicago venue. See who else wants to go. Match with a plan, not a pen pal. Place and Time is the dating app that skips to the good part.
Launching in Chicago, April 2026
Dating, flipped.
Traditional dating apps: swipe, match, message, plan, maybe meet. Place and Time: pick a venue, see who's interested, show up.
Pick a place
Browse real Chicago venues — bars, coffee shops, parks, climbing gyms. Find somewhere you actually want to go.
See who's interested
Check out who else wants to go there. No endless swiping — just real people at a real place.
Show up
Match and get an automatic date proposal — day, time, place. No chat purgatory. Just show up.
Three ways to show up.
Whether you're looking for a date, a double date, or a climbing partner.

Dating apps didn't ruin dating.
The endless swiping did.
Somewhere along the way, "meeting someone" became a thumb workout. Swipe right 100 times. Match with 10. Message 5. Get ghosted by 4. Maybe, eventually, awkwardly meet the one who stuck around.
Place and Time skips all of that. Pick a place you actually want to go. See who else wants to go there. Match with a plan, not a pen pal. Show up, order a drink, and meet someone in real life.
We're the app that gets you off the app.
Made for Chicago. Starting in Chicago.
We're not launching everywhere at once. We're launching in the neighborhoods we know and love, with venues that make Chicago the best city for a first date.
