The best private gay hookup app
Most apps treat privacy as a feature you have to go hunting for — a toggle buried in settings, a paid tier, a checkbox you didn't know existed. Meanwhile the defaults quietly leak your precise location, keep your photos on other people's phones, and tie everything back to a name or a login you'd rather not attach to a hookup app.
dipnzip inverts that. Privacy is the default, not the upsell. Your exact coordinates never leave our servers — matches see proximity, not a pin on your door. Photos are one-view and watermarked. You never hand over a real name. And the architecture is queer-built, by people who understand that for our community, a data leak isn't an inconvenience, it's a danger.

FAQ
Does dipnzip share my exact location?
No. Location is fuzzed and your exact coordinates never leave our servers — matches only see approximate proximity.
Do my photos stay on someone's phone?
One-view photos burn after a single view and are watermarked to discourage screenshots.
