How Woven works

Most dating apps are built to keep you scrolling. Woven is built to get you off the app and across a table from someone worth knowing. Here's exactly how that happens.

Step 1

Tell us who you actually are

Our profile builder asks better questions than most apps: how you spend a free Saturday, what you're building, what you'd never compromise on. It takes about eight minutes and it's the reason Woven profiles read like people rather than adverts.

Step 2

Design a header that's unmistakably yours

Choose a photograph, a colour, a gradient, or hand us your own pictures and we'll weave them into one soft-edged banner. Your header sits above everything else on your profile, so it should set the tone before anyone reads a word.

Step 3

Meet matches with a reason attached

We compare values, lifestyle and interests, then show you the score and the working behind it. If you're an 88% match on values but a 40% match on pace of life, you'll see that too — honesty beats a flattering number.

Step 4

Open with something real

Every match comes with three suggested openers pulled from their prompts and photos. Use one, edit one, or write your own — just never send 'hey' again.

Every header option, explained

Your profile header is a full-width image at the top of your page. Pick whatever says the most about you — you can change it whenever you like.

Your own photos, woven together

Your own photos, woven together

Every picture you've uploaded, blended into one seamless banner with soft transitions — no grid, no hard edges.

A plain colour or gradient

Sometimes the quietest option is the strongest. Choose any colour from our palette, or blend two into a gradient that matches your photos.

Our story

Woven started in 2019 with a simple frustration: dating apps had become slot machines. We wanted something calmer — a place where a profile could be interesting enough to read twice, and a match came with a reason attached.

Six years later we're a team of forty-one across three cities, and more than two million people have built a profile here. We still read every piece of feedback, and we still measure success by dates that happen, not minutes spent scrolling.
