Get the app
Short answer: you cannot download it yet. The app is still being built, for iOS and Android, and it is in neither store today. What follows is not a date — it is why we cannot give one.
When is it coming?
We do not know. If we printed a date you would plan around it, and the day we missed it every other sentence on this site would be worth less. So instead of a date, here is what we are waiting on.
Two things stand between the current build and a store listing. One is ours, one is not.
- Ours: closing the gaps on the safety side. Blocking, reporting, photo moderation and in-app account deletion already work. The list in the next section does not exist yet.
- Not ours: store review. Apple and Google review submissions on their own schedule, and if the first one comes back with changes, the cycle starts again. That part cannot be estimated from here.
You will not find a countdown, a “in a few weeks”, or a pre-registration form on this page. The day the app is live in the stores, this is the first page that changes.
What we are waiting to finish
None of this exists in the product today. Some of it has to ship before launch, some can follow later.
Selfie verificationOn the way
The flow that confirms there is a real person behind a profile. The database side of the badge is in place; the steps inside the app have not been written.
Incoming requests screenOn the way
One place to see the connection requests sent to you, and accept or decline them.
Density mapOn the way
The crowd view free users see instead of individual people. The query exists, but nothing feeds it yet, so today it comes back empty.
Exporting your dataOn the way
Downloading a machine-readable copy of what your account holds. Deleting your account from inside the app works today; export does not.
Where it will be
Two platforms. There is no third one.
iPhone
Through the App Store. The app currently targets iOS 13 and above.
Android
Through Google Play. We will settle the minimum supported version closer to launch and publish it on the store listing.
No web version
ruhesi.net is an information site. Signing up, matching and messaging will only happen in the app; a browser version is not planned.
How you will hear about it
For now the most direct route is an email to destek@ruhesi.net. One line is enough.
Why there is no form here: a proper waiting list means storing your address and sending you commercial email. In Turkey that requires registration with the national message management system, and that registration requires a registered company. Collecting addresses before it is in place would not be right. Once it is, a real waiting list will appear on this page.
Whatever you send stays in the support inbox. You are not added to a marketing list, and nothing is passed on to anyone else.
In the meantime
If you are going to wait, wait knowing how the thing works.
How it works
The maths behind the percentage: a two-way score, a confidence factor, and rarity weighting.
Location privacy
Why your real position never appears in a response; cell size, the fixed offset, and distance buckets.
Pricing
What you can do for free, and what paying speeds up.
Safety
Moderation, blocking, reporting and deleting your account.
Common questions
Can I join the beta?
There is no public test build right now. If we open a TestFlight or Play test channel, we will say so here. There is no application form to fill in.
Can I use it in a browser?
No. Ruh Eşi is a mobile app; ruhesi.net only carries the explanations and the legal texts. A web version is not planned.
Which devices will it run on?
iPhones and Android phones. The app currently targets iOS 13 and above; the Android minimum will be listed on the store page. There is no separate tablet layout.
Will it cost anything?
Downloading and using it is free. Answering questions and seeing your compatibility stay on the free side. On the free plan you can start one conversation a week; replying to a message you receive is never capped. Ruh Eşi+ and one-off tokens lift that limit; the breakdown is on the pricing page.
Meet people who like what you like
Ruh Eşi is not a dating app. It exists so you can meet people to hike with, listen to the same band with, and talk about the same thing for hours — and your exact location is never shown on the map.
