About Heyoosh
Heyoosh is a dating app that positions itself against swipe-based services. A November 2022 press release described it as a "No Swipe" app with no public profiles. Users entered the time and place they met someone, or scanned each other's apps, to open a private chat. The same release said it debuted in Israel in 2021 and then launched in Italy, starting with Milan, and offered a free plan and a paid Limitless plan at 1.99 euros a month.
The app was introduced by Keepod, a London-based firm which the release said was led by Nissan Bahar and Francesco Imbesi. In 2024 Keepod announced "Heyoosh AI", which it describes as the world's first AI personal matchmaker. The App Store listing, published under Heyoosh Ltd, says the AI learns users' preferences, replaces profiles, uses encrypted chats and does not track users. It offers a free 7-day trial, then a subscription. Version 3.5.5, dated 14 July 2025, added screenshot blocking in private chats. Google Play lists a London address, and an Android tracker listed about 5,000 downloads for an earlier version.
Dating Industry Insights has covered Heyoosh as an anti-swipe, privacy-first launch, and noted that it has not released user numbers, funding or trust and safety details. DII's article describes the app as just launched with Ran Bar-On as co-founder. Other sources reviewed place the debut in 2021 and name different people, so that detail is not repeated here as fact.
