About Radius

Web App

Radius is a lifestyle-focused matchmaking platform built around meaningful in-person connections. Unlike traditional dating apps centered on prolonged digital interaction, Radius helps users discover and connect with people who are physically present in the same shared space. The platform is designed for settings such as cafes, parks, gyms, bars, restaurants, and other social venues, where users can express interest, confirm mutual interest, and move directly toward real-world interaction. Its experience emphasizes proximity, privacy, simplicity, and authentic face-to-face engagement.

Project Scope

The project focused on building a location-restricted, real-time matchmaking platform for users within the same physical venue or shared space. The scope covered product strategy, UX/UI design, native iOS development, backend and API development, admin panel development, real-time location processing, authentication, notifications, testing, and cloud deployment. The platform was structured around an interaction-first model with no chat functionality, allowing users to confirm mutual interest and move directly toward in-person connection.
