She makes the first move
Women decide who they’d like to meet, and what he learns and when. A man sees a woman only once she has chosen him.

Why BothReady
A dating app built for meeting in person
Less time on your phone, more time with someone real. Everything in BothReady leads to a meeting at a public place, on terms that feel right for both of you.
Real meetings, in public
Every introduction happens face to face, at a public place: a café, a bar, an event. No pen pals.
Your location stays yours
No maps, no distances, no tracking in the background. Your position is used only when you tap, and is never shown to anyone.
Fair and transparent
Women don’t pay to meet. Men pay €5 for each real opportunity to meet someone: for the opportunity, not the outcome.
How it works
Three ways to meet. One simple idea.
Whether it’s right now, at an event or on a date she plans, she decides first and you meet in person.
Spontaneous
Here: meet now, nearby
Turn on Here for up to three hours wherever you are. If someone you share a like with is nearby, she’s told first and decides: approach him herself, let him see her, or not now. Then a 30-minute chat helps you find each other.
- Visible only when you choose, for up to 3 hours
- He learns only what she decides
- No map and no distance, ever
Organised
BothReady events
Our team sets up events at known public places. Say “I’m going” for free, and at the venue tap “I’m here”. She sees who has come and decides, just like in Here.
- A known place and time
- “I’m going” is free for everyone
- Her marks stay private
Planned by her
Dates she organises
She chooses the place and the time, writes a short note and invites up to five men who suit her. The first to accept gets the date. He never sees her photo: she’s the one who recognises him.
- Her place, her time, her note
- Up to five invitations, the first to accept
- Free cancellation up to 6 hours before

Getting started
From profile to first meeting
-
Create your profile
Sign in with your mobile number and take your photos with the app’s camera. Every profile is checked before it’s shown.
-
Show interest
She taps “Like” on the men she’d like to meet. He can answer “I like you too”.
-
Meet in person
In Here, at an event or on a date she organises. Always at a public place.
-
Meet again?
The next day you’re each asked privately. Only a mutual yes opens the contact card.
Safety and privacy
Built in, not added on
Meeting someone new should feel safe. These are rules of the app, not settings you have to find.
- Real photos. Taken only with the app’s camera and checked before anyone sees them.
- No maps or distances. No one ever sees where another member is.
- Location only on a tap. Never tracked in the background.
- Report and block everywhere. The other person isn’t told.
- Contact details only by mutual consent, shown for 24 hours.
- Your data, your call. Download a copy or delete your account from the app.
Pricing
Simple, fair and upfront
A prepaid balance in euros. No subscriptions, no debt, nothing charged without your balance.
For women
Free
- Here, events and likes cost nothing
- Organising a date: a €5 deposit, back in your balance when you show up
For men
€5 per opportunity to meet
- You pay for the opportunity, not the outcome: when she decides to meet you in Here or at an event, or for a date you accepted
- Top up €5, €15 or €25; refunds always go back to your balance
During the pilot, top-ups use a test card: no real money is charged.

Download BothReady for Android
- You sign in with a code sent by SMS to a mobile number from Cyprus (+357) or Greece (+30).
- There is no iPhone version yet.
- Updates come through the app: when a new version is ready, BothReady asks you to install it. Your account stays as it is.
How to install the app
The wording on your phone may differ a little from what is shown here.
- Open this page on your phone, in Chrome, and tap the download button.
- If Chrome asks whether you want to keep the file, tap ‘Download’.
- Open the file BothReady.apk from the download notification, or from ‘Files’ → ‘Downloads’.
- The first time, Android asks for permission to install apps from Chrome: tap ‘Settings’, switch on ‘Allow from this source’, go back and tap ‘Install’.
- If Google Play Protect warns you that it doesn’t recognise the app or its developer, tap ‘More details’ and then ‘Install anyway’. You see this because the app is not on Google Play yet.
- Open BothReady and enter your mobile number, then the code you receive by SMS.
New versions: the app checks whenever you open it. Tap ‘Install the new version’, then ‘Update’ on Android’s screen. The first time, Android asks you to allow BothReady to install apps: tap ‘Settings’, switch on ‘Allow from this source’ and go back. If you have version 0.3.0, download the new version from this page once; from then on, the app updates itself.
Optional file check: the SHA-256 checksum of BothReady.apk is 3940928824c03bb78679e9a4cbf8734f50584193154d49f5f559acfd865859da

Questions
Good to know
Who can join right now?
BothReady is in a small, closed pilot, by invitation. If you’ve been invited, download the Android app above and sign in with your mobile number from Cyprus or Greece.
Which cities?
Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca and Paphos in Cyprus; Athens and Thessaloniki in Greece.
Does anyone see where I am?
No. Your position is used only when you tap, to check that you’re at the place or in the same area. No one sees a distance, a map or your location.
Is there a chat?
Not for getting to know each other: you do that in person. The only exception is a short chat in Here, for 30 minutes after her decision, so that you can find each other. She writes first, and the messages are deleted when it closes.
Is there an iPhone version?
Not yet. During the pilot, BothReady is available for Android only.
How do I get a new version?
The app tells you: when a new version is ready, BothReady shows it as soon as you open the app. Tap ‘Install the new version’, then ‘Update’ on Android’s screen; your account stays as it is. Only with version 0.3.0, download the new version from this page once.

Το BothReady είναι εφαρμογή γνωριμιών για γνωριμίες από κοντά, σε δημόσια σημεία, στην Κύπρο και την Ελλάδα.

Σήμερα δοκιμάζεται σε μια μικρή, κλειστή ομάδα, μόνο με πρόσκληση. Ο οδηγός χρήσης στα ελληνικά.
