Global Day of Unplugging starts March 1st. So, we created the Hinge Phonebook, a phone-shaped book filled with ideas to unplug. This is the year for getting offline and celebrating in-person connection. Personally, we can't wait for some celebrity-look-alike spotting. Need ideas?

About us
Hinge is the dating app designed to be deleted. In today’s digital world, singles are so focused on sending likes and looking through profiles that they’re not actually building meaningful connections and going on dates. Hinge is on a mission to change that by designing the most effective app experience. On Hinge, there are no rules, timers, or games. Instead, you’ll have unique conversations over the text, photos, and audio you’ve shared on your profile. And it’s resonating with daters. Hinge was the fastest-growing dating app in the US, UK, Canada and Australia in 2019 and 2020.

Conventional thinking would suggest leaders should stay abreast of what their direct competitors are doing to gain insight into their strategy. Justin McLeod, CEO of the dating app Hinge, doesn’t subscribe to this theory, stating in an interview with Fortune that he doesn’t use other dating apps for research purposes and hasn’t been on a competitor’s platform since 2016. “I don't really care what [others are] doing…because then you start narrowing your focus, and you start comparing yourself to your competitors,” he says.
