The last dating app you'll need.

Closed beta. Southern California first.

We're starting small on purpose. More cities follow as the beta proves out, and signups are how we choose the next one. Not in Southern California? Join anyway.

A dating pool only works when it's balanced.

Most dating apps let everyone in at once. The pools go lopsided: a few people get overwhelmed, most get ignored, and nearly everyone comes away frustrated. Last does the opposite: it admits people gradually so local pools stay balanced, which means everyone who's in has a realistic shot at matching with someone compatible nearby. You might wait briefly to get in. Once you are, the experience is the point.

Waitlist privacy: We collect your phone number and the form information you submit to contact you, prevent duplicate or fraudulent submissions, administer the waitlist/Beta, and bind any invitation to the applicable verified phone. Your gender and genders-sought selections may reveal or allow us to infer sexual orientation. If the pre-launch interest counter is enabled, your validated interest record may be included in the exact number of qualifying pre-launch interest records within 100 km shown publicly; this is not a count of active Last users or profiles. A waiting submission is deleted 180 days after the latest of its submission, its latest consent refresh and any invitation sent to it, unless the invitation is redeemed first; verified Remove Me requests are deleted within 30 days. To limit abuse, the database keeps a one-way code derived from your network address for up to about three hours, never the address itself. Last tracks and analyzes use of its website: if you open one of Last's source links (addresses beginning lastdating.app/r/), the website sets a cookie for 30 days that records which link you came through, the form sends it with your submission, and Last counts visits and submissions by link. Submitting does not create an account or guarantee Beta or launch admission. Read the Waitlist Privacy Notice · Remove me

Questions

What is Last?

Last is a dating app built around one idea: a dating pool only works when it's balanced. Most apps let everyone in at once, which creates lopsided pools where most people get ignored and a few get overwhelmed. Last admits people gradually to keep local dating pools healthy, so that everyone who's in has a realistic chance of matching with someone compatible nearby.

How is Last different from other dating apps?

Three main ways. First, admission is gradual: you may briefly wait before entering, but once you're in, the pool around you is healthy and active rather than overwhelmed. Second, matches on Last are meant to go somewhere: there are gentle rules that keep conversations alive or free both people up. Third, your like count is real. If Last says three people liked you, exactly three people liked you.

What is the waitlist?

When more people want to join than the local pool can support in a balanced way, new members wait briefly in an admission queue. You'll get a notification the moment you're in. This is a core part of how Last works, not a marketing gimmick and not a sign anything is wrong with your account.

How long will I wait?

It varies by area, and we can't give exact timelines. Some people get in immediately; others wait longer, depending on conditions in their local pool. Join the waitlist below and watch your email so you don't miss your spot.

Can I speed up my admission?

Not during the closed beta: there's no way to pay or trick your way in. At paid launch, Premium may give you priority among people who are already eligible, but it never guarantees admission or gets around the balance, verification or safety rules. The best things you can do are sign up with accurate info and watch your email.

Is Last free?

Joining the waitlist is free, and so is the app's free tier. Identity verification is free during the closed beta; after it, there's a one-time verification charge, shown before you pay. The free tier may include clearly labeled ads; active Premium is ad-free. An optional Premium subscription adds extra features. At paid launch, Premium is $19.99/month plus applicable sales tax on Google Play or $23.99/month plus applicable tax on the App Store.

How old do I have to be?

You must be 18 or older to use Last. There are no exceptions.

Where is Last available?

Last's closed beta starts in Southern California, from San Diego to Los Angeles. More regions open as the beta proves out, and waitlist signups are how we choose which city comes next, so joining from anywhere genuinely helps. Request access using the form above.

The full story

Most dating apps have the same problem, and it's structural. They let everyone in at once. The result is a lopsided pool: a small number of people are overwhelmed with attention while most are ignored, and almost everyone comes away frustrated. The math never had a chance.

Last starts from a different premise: that a dating pool only works when it's balanced. Instead of opening the doors to everyone at the same time, Last admits people gradually, so the pool in your area stays healthy. You might wait briefly before you're in. But once you're in, you're part of something that actually functions: enough activity to matter, not so much that you disappear into it. Everyone who's in has a realistic shot.

Using Last is meant to feel honest. Matches are built to go somewhere: gentle rules keep a conversation alive or free both people up to move on, so you focus on one conversation at a time instead of juggling dozens that lead nowhere. When you want something different, there are optional modes: Blind Date puts personality first and reveals photos only after you've met in person and both confirm; Brave Mode is an opt-in space for genuinely unconventional tastes; Travel Mode lets you place yourself where you're headed.

The honesty runs deeper than features. Many dating apps inflate interest and send bait notifications to sell subscriptions. Last doesn't. Your like count is real: if it says three people liked you, exactly three people liked you. Every notification is a real event, never bait. When something isn't public yet, we say so instead of pretending. And the pricing is plain: Last is free to use, and at paid launch Premium is $19.99/month plus applicable sales tax on Google Play or $23.99/month plus applicable tax on the App Store. The free tier may include clearly labeled ads; active Premium is ad-free. You never pay to match, and no purchase gets around the balance, verification or safety rules.

If any of that sounds like what you've been waiting for, join the waitlist and watch your email. That's the only way in, and it's the same for everyone.

We named it Last because it should be the last dating app you download, and because what you find here should last.
