Now forming — registration open

New York, meet differently.

In New York, the first move on Pepr is a real date: he makes an offer, she accepts, counters or passes. The community is forming — create your profile now.

Create your profile How Pepr works

What is Pepr?

Pepr is a dating app where the first move is a real date. Instead of swiping and small talk, a man opens with a first-date offer — a specific plan with a real amount attached — and the woman decides: accept, counter, or pass. Chat opens once a date is agreed, so every conversation starts with something to look forward to.

Pepr never handles money between members. Credits buy features in the app; what two people agree about a date is theirs alone.

New York is forming

Registration is open. You can create your account, choose New York as your community, build your profile and have it reviewed — everything that needs to be in place before the community opens.

Dating has not started. Nobody is browsing profiles, making offers or messaging yet; those arrive together when the community opens, and you'll hear from us when it does. There is no set opening date.

Dating in New York City

New York has more first-date options than any city on earth, which is exactly why a specific offer stands out. A table in the West Village, a Brooklyn wine bar after a walk across the bridge, oysters in Grand Central, a Lower East Side spot you’ve been meaning to try, a Long Island City rooftop on a summer evening — the offer names the plan, and the plan says what you’re like. Manhattan-to-Brooklyn is easy; Upper West Side to Bay Ridge on a weeknight is a real trip, and a good offer meets in the middle or says why not.

Members in the New York community can live in any borough or the close-in towns across the river and up the line; you choose your area when you build your profile so distance is clear before anyone commits. Pepr never shows your address, your workplace or your block.

New York is forming now. Registration is open, dating isn’t — browsing, offers and messaging begin when the community opens. Create your profile, have it reviewed, and be there from the first day.

Safety and expectations

Every date is arranged between two adults who decide for themselves. Pepr reviews every photo before it's shown, hides your email and date of birth, and lets you block or report anyone at any time — but it doesn't run background checks on members, and no app can guarantee who someone is. Meet in public, tell a friend, and keep your own plans for getting home.

New York questions

Is Pepr available in New York?: Pepr has a New York community. It's forming now: registration is open and dating starts when the community opens.
What does forming mean?: A forming community takes registrations and profiles before dating starts, so there are real people to meet from the first day it opens. While it's forming, nobody can browse, make offers or message.
Can I register now?: Yes. Registration in New York is open: create your account, build your profile and have it reviewed.
Can I make or receive offers now?: Not yet. Offers, browsing and messaging all start when the community opens. Until then, you can build your profile so you're ready.
What happens when the community opens?: Members with reviewed profiles can discover each other. Men make first-date offers; women accept, decline or counter. An accepted offer can unlock a conversation using Pepr Credits, and the two of you decide independently whether to meet. We'll let registered members know when that day comes — there's no fixed date.
What area does the New York community serve?: The New York community covers the five boroughs and the close-in commuter towns — Hoboken and Jersey City, Westchester and Long Island's nearest stops. Your profile shows your area, not an address.
How does Pepr protect my information?: Your email and date of birth are never shown to other members — they see your age, not your birthday. Every photo is reviewed by a person before it's shown, and you can block or report anyone at any time. Pepr never handles money between members and never shares your profile outside the app.
