Verification confirms your photos match you. It isn't a background check — but it keeps the fakes out.

Why I Built almost™

almost™ began with a missed connection at San Francisco International Airport. Twenty minutes with a stranger became a conversation I didn't want to end. Then I realized I was walking the wrong direction — and hurried off to catch my red-eye to Nashville. We parted without exchanging information. I spent two weeks searching. Nothing.

I don't have a tech background, and I had every reason to walk away. I built anyway.

almost™ turns missed connections into meaningful possibilities. Travelers add their trip and see who's about to cross their path — matched through shared airports and overlapping travel plans, never real-time location tracking. No swiping. No endless searching. Just real people whose paths might otherwise never cross.

I couldn't find that stranger. So I built a way for others to find theirs.

FAQ

almost™ is an 18+ travel connection app built around timing. It helps travelers discover people whose airport trips overlap and connect for professional, platonic, or romantic reasons.

Add your airport trips and travel dates. almost™ shows you eligible people whose travel overlaps with yours and who share compatible connection preferences. If there is mutual interest, you connect and can start a conversation.

almost™ is not a traditional dating app. It is a travel connection platform for professional, platonic, or romantic connections. You choose what you are open to.
