The product

Three ways to meet
a car person

On the road, on your rear quarter, or in the app. All of it built around the thing you were going to talk about anyway.

Drive-by encounters

CarDate runs quietly while you drive. When another member is close enough for long enough — a red light, a servo, the same car park — the moment is logged. At home you scroll your day and swipe on who was actually there.

The QR badge

A designed, weatherproof badge cut for your rear quarter. Someone admires the build, scans, and lands on exactly as much of your profile as you chose to make public. No app needed to scan — only to swipe back.

Garage-first profiles

Lead with the build, not a gym mirror selfie. Your garage, your mods, your favourite road. Matching starts from something you actually want to talk about.

Never live location

An encounter only appears after it has passed, as a road and a suburb at a point in time. Repeat locations near home are filtered before anyone sees them.

Your day, replayed
