Ignite
your city.
Host or join Meetups, explore venues, meet people nearby - all in one app built for the LGBTQ+ community.
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
Flare puts the power back in your hands - browse, connect, and meet on your terms.
Meetups
Host or join coffee, drinks, a walk or a night out nearby. Every host is ID-verified, you approve who comes, and the exact spot is shared only with them.
Instant Chat
Message people instantly, then hop on a voice or video call to say hi before you meet. Read receipts and message requests built in.
Live Map
See real-time activity around you. LGBTQ+ venues, community spots, and live meetups - all on an interactive map.
Safety Check-ins
Set a check-in time and share a link with someone you trust. Miss it, and Flare escalates for you. No app needed on their side.
Passport & Travel
