Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Shyne — from getting started to safety, privacy, and venues.

Shyne helps you meet people in real life. When you're at a bar, club, festival, or event, you check in and become visible to others in the same space. See someone you'd like to talk to? Send them a signal. They choose how to respond before anything happens face to face. It's not a dating app or a social network — it's the thing that makes walking up to someone way less nerve-wracking.

Open Shyne and tap "Where are you?" on the home screen. Search for a nearby venue, pick it, and you're in. You can see how many people are already there before you check in, so there are no surprises. And don't worry — Shyne never checks you in automatically.

Yep! Shyne is completely free to download and use. Everything — checking in, sending and receiving signals, responding, chatting — is available at no cost.

Shyne works at any real-world venue — bars, clubs, festivals, campus events, you name it. Just search for a place and check in. We're adding more cities and event types as we grow.
