How it works

Four steps. Then matches.

Piaar is fast on purpose. You're done setting up before your coffee gets cold.

Pick what you offer

Three to ten skills you can teach, help with, or get paid for. Specific beats generic every time.

Pick what you want

Three to ten skills you're looking to learn or hire for. Piaar reads both sides.

Set your radius

10 km by default. Tight enough to actually meet, wide enough for a real city.

Message or connect

Light ask: send a message request. Big ask: invite into your Trusted Network.

What's inside

Six things most apps get wrong.

Piaar is deliberate about every one.

Semantic, not keyword

"Machine learning" finds people who wrote "neural networks". Real understanding, no tag spam.

Offer + looking-for, in one profile

Two colors, two roles. Teal for what you bring. Coral for what you need. You're never just one or the other.

List view + real map

See matches as ranked cards or as pins on an OpenStreetMap. Same data, your choice of geometry. Tap a pin, read the peek, decide.

⊟ List ⊙ Map 30 matches near you

Graduated connection

Message request first, full connection second. No swipes, no matches that vanish.

Quiet by default

No feed, no streaks, no notifications begging you back. The app earns its open by being useful.

Built in Sweden

GDPR is home turf. The privacy model isn't a bolt-on, it's the architecture.

Responsible AI

Built for trust, not for harvest.

Privacy isn't a settings page. It's how the matching engine was designed in the first place.

EU AI Act aligned

Explainable matching

Every score traces back to the skills that generated it. No hidden weights. No shadow profiling. You see why a match surfaced, every time.

GDPR-first design

Consent over collection

We collect what's needed to match you well, and nothing else. Discoverable-off in one tap. Precise location is optional. Your data leaves with you.

Privacy by architecture

No scraping. No resale.

Piaar doesn't ingest public profiles, doesn't sell skills data, doesn't follow you between events. The platform answers to you.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Piaar free?

Yes, during beta. We're still figuring out long-term pricing. When that changes, current users will be told months in advance, with grandfather pricing on the table.

How is this different from LinkedIn?

LinkedIn shows you who's already in your orbit. Piaar shows you people whose looking-for matches your offer, and vice versa, within your city. It's a different problem and a different shape of network.

How does the matching actually work?

Semantic embeddings on both sides of every profile. "Machine learning" and "neural networks" are understood to be neighbors. The score is mutual fit, weighted by skill specificity and category overlap. We can explain any specific score on request — that's the EU AI Act commitment.

Where is my data stored?

Firebase, with EU region pinning. We retain only what's needed for matching. Profile deletion removes your row in 24 hours and your matches downstream within 7 days.

Can I hide from specific people?

Block and mute are on the roadmap. Today, you can go fully non-discoverable in one tap, and we use OpenStreetMap with optional 1km location-grid obfuscation if you don't want pin-accurate placement.

Is the app on iOS and Android?

Yes — Piaar is built in Flutter, so the same app ships to both. Web is on the roadmap but not yet live.
