The adage says there are millions of fish in the sea, but you deserve better than the sharks and bottom feeders.
Hook was built from the ground up using thorough research and the feedback of vulnerable users to create a safer space for you to find a catch.
No one should have the fear in the back of their mind that they are falling for a facade with an agenda.
For those with a smart watch, we have a tool for you to help you gracefully exit a situation.
We're not smart enough to build a predictive AI to stop unwanted pics, but you can consent to receiving them.
There are dating apps available for all types of niche. Our thing? The safety and wellness of women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and all races and creeds.
Hook doesn't want to stand in the way of romance, but it does want to preemptively filter out individuals who want to prey on vulnerable users through harassment, cyberflashing, or worse. Our hope is that by building in programmatic defences, you will feel safer interacting with your catches.
With other dating apps, it is easy for serial offenders to avoid punishment by constantly making new accounts. Hook doesn't play that game. ID verification is required to be a Hook user and chat history is saved for moderator review.
On Hook, we want users to be able to control if they are interested in receiving pics or not. You can consent to receive them per each chat as you feel more comfortable and are ready for taking it to digital second base.
42% of survey respondents come into their first date with an escape plan. Some people have a friend call at an agreed time. Others would arrive first and talk to the staff. We want to give you another means of being able to safely leave a date in case it is becoming tense, uncomfortable, or unwanted.
How many spy movies have you seen where the hero has a watch that is able to deus ex machina out of a situation? We bring the same concept to you!
We highly recommend that the first dates you have are in a public place during the day, but sometimes the date needs a more delicate and diplomatic way to vacate. Escape Mode means that your phone will ring after holding on the watch face for five seconds, so you can answer it and leave.
We have a vast library of watch faces to choose from so you can find something that fits your aesthetic, vibe, or outfit. We want Escape Mode to be a part of you, not something that sticks out and looks artificial.
I think it's bs that when I get harassed online it gets treated that it's my fault for existing. Ok but I'm not the person being like "check out my junk, boo", I don't want to deal with that anymore, that's why I use Hook
I want to be respected. I don't want to be treated like a plaything. I was sceptical at first, but Hook chases out the creeps so they don't even bother joining.
I'm gay and even though it's easier than ever to be me it's still pretty terrifying. I have friends that thought they were about to meet a date but got jumped instead. No thanks. I don't want to be someone's punching bag because my being alive is abhorent to them. I've been telling my friends to join Hook because I feel SAFE and LOVED here.
So Hook doesn't have the most amount of people on it, but I know that the people using it are cool, considerate, and aren't going to make me feel pressured into anything. It feels civilized here after dealing with the wild west of other dating apps.
I didn't like feeling like the girls I was talking to felt like I was a heartbeat away from perving out on them. It didn't help that I would try to assure them that I was one of the good ones because guess what - that's what a pervo would say. So I joined Hook. Now the girls I talk to know that I'm serious about finding my soulmate and aren't going to keep me at arm's reach.
