Watch our Demo Video below to see how TerriTie offers a unique experience focused on real-life connections and user experience.
The Loneliness and Dissatisfaction Problem with Traditional Dating Apps
Modern dating apps are contributing to the rise of loneliness and dissatisfaction:
- Loneliness Epidemic: 60% of adults report feeling lonely, with younger adults experiencing this at even higher rates, nearing 80%.
- High Dissatisfaction: 45% of current online dating users are dissatisfied, mainly due to the emphasis on digital interactions and the low rate of translating matches into real-life meetings. This far exceeds industry standards of 5% or less.
- Rampant Fake Profiles: 20-30% of dating profiles contain false information, contributing to over $1.3 BILLION in annual scam losses.
- Decision Paralysis: Gen Z users swipe through an average of 3,525 profiles before finding a match, while Baby Boomers swipe up to 6,200 times, leading to a sense of overwhelm and decision fatigue.
- Low Success Rates: On average, it takes 60 matches to arrange just ONE real-life meetup.
Unlike subscription-based apps that focus on keeping users online, TerriTie eliminates charges for sending requests or viewing who liked your profile. Instead, we prioritize real-life connections by encouraging in-person meetings, shifting the focus from endless digital interactions to meaningful, face-to-face experiences.
Testimonial Video
We’ve hosted several social events to showcase TerriTie and gather valuable feedback for improving the app. As we grow, our goal is to expand these events globally, fostering real-life connections worldwide. Hear firsthand the excitement from participants in our Testimonial Video.
How TerriTie Works
- Pick a Place: Choose a location that suits you—whether it’s a cinema, restaurant, or climbing gym.
- And a Face: Match based on your preferences for dating or friendship.
- Book to Connect: Texting is restricted until both parties confirm a booking.
- Prioritize Safety: Meet in public spaces. Our safety features ensure a secure experience.
Why Confirming a Booking Before Unlocking Texting Matters
TerriTie encourages commitment and genuine interactions through a booking confirmation process. This approach:
- Encourages Real Interaction: It promotes face-to-face interactions during the actual date instead of prolonged virtual communication.
- Enhances Enjoyment: By focusing on enjoying the event and the experience, users can fully immerse themselves in the moment and appreciate the time spent together.
- Builds Anticipation: By restricting communication, it builds excitement and anticipation for the actual date.
- Strengthens social skills: Digital communication can weaken social skills. TerriTie’s in-person focus helps build real-world confidence and effective communication, which are harder to develop online.
- Reduces Miscommunication: With limited texting time, users are encouraged to communicate more effectively and avoid potential misunderstandings.
- scams and catfishing: Requiring booking confirmations and promoting in-person meetings add a layer of verification, greatly reducing the risk of encountering fake profiles or scams.
Gamified Social Badges and XP Points
Our app uniquely gamifies social interactions by awarding social badges and XP points based on real-life activities. Examples include Social Terrifly, TerriNature, and TerriCaffe badges, making socializing more engaging and fun.
Note: Badge display is optional based on your privacy settings.
Relationship Styles (Optional Test!)
At TerriTie, we offer an optional Relationship Styles Test grounded in research that links relationship styles to attachment patterns. Based on the award-winning framework from our book Unveiling 11 Relationship Styles, this test provides personalized insights to help you better understand your relationship preferences and patterns.
While the test is not required to use the app, many users find it valuable for enhancing their self-awareness and improving their connections with others. If you’re interested, you can take the test at TerriTie.com and discover more about your unique relationship style.
TerriTie’s in-person focus and optional face verification aim to combat these issues by fostering genuine, safe, and authentic connections.
Track Record of Success
Our app is built on the principles from the multi-award-winning book Unveiling 11 Relationship Styles, which has received accolades from the Next Generation Indie Book Awards and the National Indie Excellence Awards in the relationship category.

What’s Ready, What’s Next, and How Funding Will Help!
Our Beta app is ready for download, and all features shown in the demo videos above are functional, including the core matching flow and safety features. We’re thrilled with the progress so far, but we need your support to build out even more exciting features:
- Build Group Activities and Event Features: We aim to make it easier for users to organize group activities and events within the app, helping foster real-life connections in a seamless way.
- Integrate Event Coordination Tools: Simplify the process of scheduling dates and group meetings with a new interface that allows users to select times and coordinate events effortlessly.
- Enhance Matching Algorithms: Improve our matching algorithms based on the 11 Relationship Styles framework to create more accurate and meaningful connections.
- Finalize App Design and Features: Continue refining the design and adding features that elevate the user experience.
- Improve User Experience Based on Feedback: Incorporate community feedback to ensure a smoother, more intuitive app experience.
- Conduct Extensive Testing for Safety and Reliability: Thoroughly test all aspects of the app to ensure security, reliability, and performance.
- Prepare the App for Full-Scale Launch on App Stores: Once these features are complete, we’ll be ready to launch TerriTie globally.
How Your Funding Will Be Used:
We aim to raise funds to complete the following critical aspects of the app:
- Amazon AWS Rekognition for optional face verification.
- Google Maps APIs and SDKs for location-based services.
- Design and feature improvements, including the group activities, event features, and matching algorithm enhancements.
Due to the high costs of scaling and expanding to different regions, additional funding through stretch goals will help us bring TerriTie to more countries sooner. Exceeding our goal will allow us to enhance the overall experience of in-person connections, which are increasingly necessary in today’s society, given the imbalance created by digital-focused apps. We truly appreciate your support!

About the Founder
“I’m Ahmad Aljazeeri, founder of TerriTie. After numerous negative online experiences, including a challenging five-year purely online relationship, I realized how technology often makes it harder for people to meet authentically. Even though I am still working my 9-5 job as a medical imaging technologist, I was determined that I will do something to change this issue that’s affecting millions around the world. I have put my plans of buying a house on hold and used all my savings to provide a business solution that I believe will solve a lot of our problems. I engaged in market research in the streets of Auckland, performed extensive research on relationships and dating apps, and started working on my book and app simultaneously. That’s how the 11 Relationship Styles framework and TerriTie were born. My dream is to see TerriTie contributes to solving the loneliness epidemic.”
Our Global Ambition: Connecting People, Respecting Cultures
TerriTie is proudly based in New Zealand, and while we’re starting locally, our mission is to connect people around the world in meaningful ways. Our expansion plans are driven by our commitment to understanding and respecting the diverse cultures and values of different communities. We aim to be more than just an app; we strive to create a platform that adapts and evolves based on the unique needs of each region.
We’re focused on growing TerriTie into the most popular app to meet friends and the best dating app for serious relationships in countries like the USA, UK, Australia, and throughout Europe. We also have a vision to tailor our approach for communities in Asia, South America, and beyond, ensuring that our platform is culturally relevant and meaningful to users worldwide.
Our ambition is not just about expanding globally; it’s about fostering authentic connections in places where our research shows people need it the most. We’re dedicated to gathering feedback from friends, partners, and communities in these countries, so we can create a safe, inclusive, and culturally sensitive platform that meets the social needs of each region.
We believe that by actively listening and integrating the values and preferences of diverse cultures, TerriTie can become a trusted relationship and friendship app that supports real-life connections wherever you are, bringing people closer together while honoring what makes each community unique.
