Veil
Date human, not AI — an anonymous dating app with AI humanness verification, avatar-based matching, and mutual-consent reveal.
The problem
Modern dating is overrun with bots, catfishing, and looks-first matching, on platforms tuned for engagement over connection. Veil verifies you're human, hides identity behind an avatar until both sides consent to reveal, and matches on values rather than appearance.
Mutual-consent reveal
Identity stays masked until both sides opt in (state 00 → 11). Toggle both to walk the gate. Conceptual UI.
Blind match — state 00
Both people appear as verified avatars with stat badges. No real faces. Connection forms through conversation alone.
state 00One side clicks Reveal
Consent is recorded and that side's photo key is marked for conditional unlock. State becomes 10.
The other is notified
Keys exchanged on mutual consent
Identities locked in
Architecture
- Gatekeeper verification: an AI liveness + uniqueness check from a video selfie produces a SkinHash without storing facial biometrics, so duplicates can't re-enter
- Four-state mutual-reveal gate (00 → 11) where encrypted photos unlock only after both sides click Reveal
- Logic-first matching: a symbolic engine honours hard dealbreakers absolutely (a non-smoker never sees a smoker) instead of engagement-driven ranking
- Avatars with verified stat badges stand in for photos during the blind-match phase
- Supabase-backed waitlist with row-level security; email-only signup and a remaining-spots counter
- Roadmap toward WebSocket chat, the reveal state machine, and Safe-Zone date coordination with handshake codes
Highlights
Verified human, not surveilled
Liveness detection proves a real person and hashes the proof — facial data is never stored — so bots and catfish don't make it in.
Mutual-consent reveal
Photos stay encrypted until both sides opt in; if one declines, the match stays anonymous. Privacy is the default, not a setting.
Logic-first matching
A symbolic engine respects dealbreakers absolutely and prioritises values and lifestyle over looks.
