Launch · September 8, 2026 · Claudio
The iOS app has a date. Pre-order is open, founding prices end on launch day, and from 1 October premium is what the App Store says.
DudesChat is on the App Store. Pre-order opened today; the app releases on 30 September 2026. Tap pre-order and it downloads itself to your phone on launch day — free, no charge, no reminder needed.
The iOS app is the same DudesChat that 1,300+ of you have been using on the web since July — Discover, the Feed, Communities, messaging, moods — with the things a phone does better: photos straight from the camera, location from the device, notifications that actually arrive. Your web profile carries over; log in with the same details and everything is there.
Android follows. Sign up on the web today and your profile is waiting when it does.
Since May, backing the build has meant premium for less: Early Bird (CHF 59, a year), Pioneer (CHF 99, two years), Patron (CHF 199, five years), Founder (CHF 499, lifetime) — one-time, no renewals, plus a permanent badge on your profile. Those prices were always a thank-you for funding an app that didn't exist yet. On 30 September it will. So the founding tiers close at 23:59 CEST on 30 September, and from 1 October premium is what it says on the App Store: CHF 19 a month, CHF 30 for three months, CHF 99 a year.
If you've been meaning to back it: this is the last three weeks. If you already have: your code works in the app from day one, badge included.
The cover photo competition winner goes on the App Store listing, the home page, and the launch — revealed on the 30th. Every entry is still on the wall.
Nothing today, everything on the 30th. Apple charges nothing (the app is free), you can cancel any time before release, and on launch morning the app appears on your home screen. That's it.
Meet Dudes. Match Moods. 30 September.

BHOC highlighted a DudesChat feature that came out of its NiceAF research: a report stays possible for seven days after someone blocks you or deletes their account. Why a block should never decide whether harm can be reported.
Read →DudesChat is on Google Play from 12 October 2026: free, ad-free, every member a verified adult. Same login as the web app and the iPhone app.
Read →Faces are optional, but a face you see is real. Photos in a chat are taken live, never uploaded. Blocking never takes away your right to report. And where you are is an area, never a pin. Here's why we built it this way.
Read →DudesChat went live on the App Store on 30 September 2026. Nearly 900 Dudes signed up that day, almost 700 were approved by the next morning, and about 800 sign-ups since July have not passed review. The numbers, and what each one counts.
