Splashd: Gay Dating & Cruising

Looking for a gay dating app that actually works without nickel-and-diming you? Splashd helps you meet gay men nearby with a unique dual-view design: browse profiles in a classic grid or switch to a real-time map to see who's around you right now.

Whether you're wondering "where can I find gay guys near me" or planning your next trip and want to scope out the local scene first, Splashd makes it easy to connect with men looking for the same things you are—dates, friendships, casual fun, or something more.

SEE WHO'S NEARBY WITH MAP + GRID VIEW
Splashd is the only gay dating app that lets you instantly toggle between two ways to discover men. Grid View shows profiles sorted by distance or who's online now. Tap once to switch to Map View and see exactly where guys are—at the gym, in your neighborhood, or across town. Planning a trip? Browse guys in other cities before you even pack.

FREE VIDEO CHAT—NO LIMITS, NO CATCHES
Tired of apps that charge extra just to video call? Splashd includes unlimited video and voice chat at no cost. See who you're really talking to, hear his voice, and know he's real before you meet. It's the best way to avoid catfishing and feel confident about who's on the other end.

FIND EXACTLY YOUR TYPE
Use detailed filters to match with men you're actually into. Search by body type, relationship status, what you're looking for, and sexual health info, including HIV status and PrEP usage. Whether you're a bear seeking other bears, a twink into daddies, or a masc guy looking for the same, Splashd helps you skip the endless scrolling.

DISCOVER LOCAL GAY EVENTS
Stop missing out on what's happening in your city. Browse local parties, meetups, and LGBTQ gatherings all in one place. Check guest lists, join event chats, or host your own. Use Travel Mode to find the best spots and line up plans wherever you're headed.

KEEP YOUR PRIVATE PICS PRIVATE
Create multiple Private Albums and share them only with guys you trust. Changed your mind? Revoke access anytime. You stay in control of who sees what.

CHAT THAT KEEPS YOU ORGANIZED
Finally, a gay chat app that doesn't turn into chaos. Create custom lists—Gym Crush, New in Town, whatever works for you—to keep track of the guys you like. Send photos, voice notes, and your location instantly.

KNOW WHO'S CHECKING YOU OUT
See who viewed your profile, who Splashed you, and who shared an album with you. No more guessing who's interested.
