Overview
Compass is a free, open-source platform to help people form deep, meaningful, and lasting connections — whether platonic, romantic, or collaborative. It’s made possible by contributions from the community, including code, ideas, feedback, and donations. Unlike typical apps, Compass prioritizes values, interests, and personality over swipes and ads, giving you full control over who you discover and how you connect. Why is Compass different from other meeting apps? Keyword Search: Find people who share your niche interests (e.g., “Minimalism”, “Thinking, Fast and Slow”, “Indie film”). Transparent Database: See all profiles, apply filters, and search freely — no hidden algorithms. Notification System: Get alerts when new people match your searches — no endless scrolling required. Personality-Centered: Values and ideas first. Photos stay secondary. Democratic & Open Source: Built by the community, for the community — no ads, no hidden monetization.
