Met without a dating app
No dating app? Keep how it started anyway.
Maybe it started with a text the morning after a party, a DM, or a number on a napkin. Maybe the best part was your first couple of dates. A Matchbook doesn't need a dating app: write in your first text messages with the day and time each was sent, then keep your first dates as memories.
How it works
- 1
Get a Matchbook
Building one by hand is included with a Matchbook. Pick the style that looks like where you talked: text messages, DMs or a group chat.
- 2
Write in your first messages
Add them one at a time, as either of you, each with the day and time it was sent. Copy them from your phone or write them the way you remember them. GIFs and reactions too.

Add your first dates
Each date becomes a memory: a photo, the place on a map, a voice note or a few words about what happened. Then write a letter and share it privately or print a QR card.
Planning a surprise? Build it on your own, then have it delivered on the day you pick.
Questions
- Can I import our text messages?
- Not yet. Our Matchbook imports Hinge and Tinder data; anything else you write in by hand, starting with the messages that matter most.
- Do we need to have met on a dating app?
- No. A Matchbook built by hand works the same way: your messages in the chat style you choose, your memories, a letter and a video.
- Is building it by hand free?
- Writing messages by hand is included with a Matchbook. The free Spark is for keeping a Hinge or Tinder conversation you import.
- Is it private?
- Yes. Your Matchbook is protected by a password, and only the people you share it with can open it.
