Welcome to Ensō

The app that turns being in the same place into something meaningful.

YOUR QUICK-START GUIDE

What Is Enso?

Real connections start with
real proximity.

Enso is a social platform where you discover and connect with people who are near you right now — people who share your interests and intentions.

No swiping. No infinite scrolling. Just real people, nearby, open to the same things you are. When you both signal interest, a time-limited conversation called a "collision" begins.

A Collision Is...

A mutual, time-limited chat that happens when two nearby people signal interest in each other. The countdown creates urgency to connect in person — not just type forever.

Step 1

Tell Enso what you're open to.

Before you discover anyone, you choose your intent. This tells Enso what kind of connection you're looking for right now — so you only see people who are aligned.

🤝 Networking
💬 Socializing
💡 Collaborating
❤️ Dating
☕ Coffee Chat
🎮 Gaming

💡 Pro Tip

You can change your intent anytime. Heading to a networking event? Switch to Networking. Just out for the night? Switch to Socializing. Your intent shapes who you discover.

Step 2

Discover people nearby.

Hit "Start Colliding" and Enso finds other active users near you with compatible intent. You'll see their profile, shared interests, and how close they are.

Everyone you see is nearby and open to connecting. No catfishing across cities. No dead profiles. These are real people, right here, right now.

What You'll See

Alex, 28
Networking · 0.2mi · 4 shared interests
Jordan, 25
Socializing · 0.1mi · 6 shared interests
Sam, 31
Collaborating · 0.3mi · 3 shared interests

Step 3

Send a signal.

See someone interesting? Send them a signal. It's anonymous until they signal back — meaning they won't know you're interested unless they are too.

📡

You Signal Alex

Alex doesn't know yet. Your interest is private until mutual.

💥

Alex Signals You Back

Mutual match! A collision is created and your chat window opens with a countdown.

🔒 Built on Consent

No one can message you without mutual interest. Both people must independently signal before any conversation happens. This is safety by design, not by policy.

Step 4

Collide — and make it count.

Once you're in a collision, you have a live chat with a countdown timer. The clock creates real urgency to go beyond texting — share your location, exchange contact info, or just walk over and say hi.

💬

Chat

Real-time messaging. Break the ice, find common ground, make a plan.

📍

Share Location

Opt in to share your approximate location so you can actually find each other.

📇

Exchange Info

Share phone, email, Instagram, or other socials — on your terms, when you're ready.

⏱️

Extend

Need more time? Extend the collision. Free users get 3 extensions; Premium gets unlimited.

🤖

Cue AI

Stuck on what to say? Cue AI suggests conversation starters based on shared interests.

Rate

After a collision ends, rate the experience. Build your collision reputation over time.

Beyond Collisions

Discover events nearby.

Enso isn't just one-on-one connections. Local creators and venues host events on the platform — concerts, meetups, networking nights, fitness classes — and you can discover them based on proximity and your interests.

🎪

Browse & RSVP

See events happening near you on the events map. Filter by interest, distance, and date. Purchase tickets or RSVP directly in the app.

💥

Collide at Events

At events, Enso's collision system comes alive. Everyone there shares a common interest — making signals and matches even more meaningful.

Your Safety

Built to protect you,
by design.

🔐

Mutual Consent Only

No one can message you unless you both signal interest. Period.

📍

Approximate Location

Discovery shows rough proximity, never your exact location. Location sharing is always opt-in.

🚫

Block & Report

One-tap blocking removes someone completely. Report tools are always available in every collision.

⏱️

Time Limits

Collisions expire naturally. No lingering, no staleness, no obligation to keep chatting.

👁️

You Control Visibility

You're only discoverable when you choose to be. Stop colliding anytime and you disappear from discovery.

🌙

Dark Mode

For your eyes and your vibes. Full dark mode available system-wide.

🎪

Event Safety

At partnered events and venues, additional moderation tools add an extra layer of community safety.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Is Enso a dating app?
Enso is a multi-intent social platform. Dating is one option, but so is networking, socializing, collaborating, and more. You choose what you're open to.
Can someone see my exact location?
No. Discovery shows approximate proximity only. You can optionally share your location within a collision, but it's always your choice.
What happens when a collision expires?
The chat closes. If you've exchanged contact info, you can continue outside the app. If not, the moment passes — and that's okay. New collisions happen every day.
Do I need Premium?
The core experience — discovering, signaling, and colliding — is free. Premium unlocks unlimited extensions, advanced filters, full analytics, and Cue AI for $9.99/month.
How is this different from Bumble or Tinder?
Three ways: real-time proximity (not location filtering), declared intent (not just swiping), and time-limited collisions (not infinite chat). Plus Enso isn't just for dating.

You're ready.
Start colliding.

The best connections happen when you're already there. Open Enso and see who's around.
