About UNIQ
A dating app for people that dating apps were not built for
Most dating apps are built for speed. Scroll fast, decide fast, reply fast. If you
need another moment to think, if you would rather write for a while before meeting,
or if you simply want to know that someone is looking after the space — you get left
outside. UNIQ was built for exactly that gap.
It runs in your browser, on Android and on iPhone, it is designed around different
needs, and the support comes from a professional team — before the first message,
before the meeting, and after it.
Where UNIQ comes from
UNIQ was founded in Israel by Shani Mor Aviv, a clinical social
worker, after years of working with people with disabilities and people living with
mental health conditions. One question kept coming back in the therapy room:
“and what about a relationship?” The mainstream apps had no answer for the
people asking it, so she built one — with a professional team behind it and a
personal introduction call before anyone joins. UNIQ opened in 2026 and is available
in the browser, on Google Play and on the App Store.
Who UNIQ is for
Adults aged 18 and over: neurodivergent people, people with disabilities, and people
living with mental health conditions — as well as anyone who finds that the pace, the
noise and the unwritten rules of other apps just do not fit them.
You do not need a diagnosis or any medical paperwork to join.
What is different here
- Joining goes through a personal introduction call with our professional team — so everyone inside came through the same door.
- You set the pace: write for as long as you need before meeting, with no pressure about who replied when.
- The interface is accessible and quiet, without unnecessary clutter on the screen.
- Professional services can be booked alongside the app — profile building, date preparation, a pre-date conversation for two, or emotional support.
Free to join
Creating a profile, being verified, browsing and matching are free. The professional
services listed above are optional and paid for separately.
