Known is invite-only during our early launch in Cape Town.

How it works

  1. 1

    Set your boundaries once

    Tell us who you're open to meeting and when. You only do this once.

  2. 2

    Your friends do the work

    Trusted matchmakers create your profile, talk to each other, and set up a date.

  3. 3

    Just show up

    You get a simple date card. No swiping, no endless texting. Just meet.

For singles

Peaceful and low-effort. Set your mandate, then relax while your friends do the choosing.

For matchmakers

Active and fun. You know them best — create their profile, browse, and set up someone worth meeting.

“I'm matchmaking for Daniel. I've known him for six years — steady, thoughtful, funny, and serious about his faith. I think he'd suit someone warm and grounded.”
