UAE's first ever friendship app

Find Your People.

UAE has 3.5 million people. Somehow you still can't find your people. GLYTCH is here to fix that. Not a dating app. Not LinkedIn. A real friendship app. Built for here.

What is GLYTCH

A friendship app.
Built for real life.

Dubai is one of the most connected cities on earth. But somehow, millions of people here still feel like they haven't found their crowd. Their people. The ones who just get it.

GLYTCH was built for that exact feeling. Not to replace your existing friendships. To help you finally find the ones you haven't made yet.

3
unique modes. Each one solves a different kind of lonely.
Three ways to connect

The Modes.

Three ways to meet someone real. Each one does something the others can't.

01
Drop Mode
Right Now.
Two Hours Only.

You're heading to JBR at 6pm and you don't want to go alone. Post a Drop. Someone nearby sees it and says they're in. Two hours later it's gone. Because the best plans are the ones that happen before you talk yourself out of it.

Expires in 2 hours. Spontaneous or nothing.

Nice. That took 10 seconds.

Someone out there is already looking for exactly this plan. They just need to see your Drop. That happens in the app.

02
Match Mode
Not 500 strangers.
Just 3 people.

Tell GLYTCH what you're about. Your interests, your hobbies, how you spend your weekends. We give you 3 people who match you almost exactly. No scrolling through profiles. No swiping into the void. Just three real people who actually get it.

Pick as many as you want. The more you pick, the closer the match.

scanning UAE for your people...
We found them.

3 people. Real ones. They share your interests, they're in UAE, and they're already on the waitlist. Their names unlock in the app.

your friends are already waiting for you
03
Spark Mode
You're not the
only one.

New city and nobody around who gets what you're going through? Write it down. Completely anonymous. GLYTCH finds someone going through the exact same thing right now, and someone who already got through it and came out the other side. Your name stays yours. Unless you both want to change that.

100% anonymous. You decide if you ever reveal yourself.

write something. no one knows it's you ↓
posting as anonymous
They're already here.

Two people are waiting on the other side of this. One knows exactly how you feel right now. The other has been through it and wants to help. They're in the app.

Who it's for

Every single one of you.

UAE has 200 nationalities in one place. GLYTCH was built for every single one of them.

The new expat

You just landed. You know nobody. The city feels massive and you feel small. We built this for exactly that feeling.

The student

Same uni, 3,000 people, and you still eat alone sometimes. Your campus has your people. We help you find them.

The housewife

You want a friend who speaks your language, shares your culture, gets your life. She's in UAE right now. GLYTCH finds her.

The founder

You're building something and need people who think the way you do. Your co-founder might already be on the waitlist.

The creative

You need someone who actually gets the obsession. The 2am ideas, the weird projects, the drive. We know you exist. We find each other.

The local

Born here, watching the city change around you. Find people who feel what you feel about this place.

Why UAE needs this

The loneliness no one talks about.

Moving to a new country is exciting. It's also one of the loneliest things a person can do.

01
90% of UAE residents are expats

Almost everyone here came from somewhere else. Which means almost everyone has had to start from scratch, socially. GLYTCH is built for that exact reset.

02
Existing apps aren't built for friendship

Dating apps feel wrong. LinkedIn is transactional. Facebook groups are dead. There has genuinely never been a proper friendship app for people in UAE. GLYTCH is the first.

03
Cultural comfort matters here

UAE is an Islamic country and people have different comfort levels when it comes to meeting strangers. GLYTCH is built with that in mind — women-only, men-only, or mixed. You choose.

04
Dubai moves fast

People come and go. Friendships here can feel surface level because everyone's always in transit. GLYTCH cuts through that. Drop Mode, Match Mode and Spark Mode are built for real, lasting connection.

Your comfort first

Your circle, your rules.

You choose who you want to meet. Connection only works when you feel completely comfortable.

Women connecting with women

A safe, private space just for women in UAE. Whether you want a gym buddy, a coffee friend, or someone from back home who just gets it. She is here.

Full filters unlock in the app

Open to everyone

200 nationalities, one city, zero good ways to actually meet them. Until now. Mixed mode is for people who want the full UAE experience.

Full filters unlock in the app

Men connecting with men

Real friendships, not just contacts. Gym partners, late night food runs, people who pick up when you call. That kind of friend. GLYTCH finds them.
