He's out there. And he's closer than you think.

That rush when your phone lights up and it's him. The nervous smile before you hit send. The coffee that turns into a whole afternoon. It all starts with one hello, and on HUNTR, the guy worth saying it to is just around the corner.

Meet up

That moment you finally see each other.

You've been talking for days. Tonight's the night. Share your location live, watch each other get closer on the map, and skip the awkward "where are you?" texts. Just look up, and there he is.

  • Live, togetherOnce he says yes, you both watch each other heading to the same spot.
  • See both of you at onceOne tap fits you both on the map, so you know who's almost there.
  • Or just drop a pinLet him know exactly which café you're waiting at.
  • You're always in controlSharing stops the second you tap stop, or if you go offline.

Album trades

Show me yours, I'll show you mine.

Trust goes both ways. Offer one of your private albums for one of his, and neither of you sees a thing until you both say yes. Fair, playful, and always your choice.

  • Nothing opens until you both tradeUntil then, it's just a name and a cover. The anticipation is half the fun.
  • You decide what to shareOffer any of your private albums, or change your mind before he accepts.
  • Here, then goneA traded album disappears a while after you close it. Some moments are meant to stay between you two.
  • Felt a spark?Tell him quietly. He only finds out if you want him to, and if he feels it too, you'll both know.
