A Matching App Made for Gay Men, Exclusively for Gay Men
"Matching apps are full of sketchy users — it makes me uneasy." "A surface-level profile doesn't really tell me who someone is." … Sound familiar? Viviste strips away every unnecessary feature to create an environment where gay men can focus on just one thing: meeting the right person. It's a matching app built to make finding a connection as direct as possible.
5 Reasons People Choose Viviste
1. Find people who share your interests with the Tags feature
Just register the things you love and your interests and preferences as tags, and it becomes much easier to find people who share your values. Tags let you naturally show off the "real you" — the part that's hard to convey through a profile bio alone.
2. Share your everyday life with the Posts feature
An SNS-style posting feature lets you share the small moments of your day and glimpses of your hobbies, so others can get to know your personality and daily life even before you match. It also makes it easy to find common ground and gives you natural openings to start a conversation.
3. A minimal design focused on actually meeting
No getting lost in complicated features. From matching to messaging, we've carefully included only the features you need to meet someone. Because it's simple, you can focus on connecting with the other person — and the pace toward actually meeting is completely different.
4. Mandatory identity verification for a safe, secure community
Every user is required to verify their identity with an official government-issued ID. (*You only need to submit the information necessary for age verification — a photo of your face and your name are not required.) We thoroughly remove fraudulent users such as commercial operators, fake accounts, and impersonators, providing a clean space where only trustworthy, real users can connect.
5. Screenshots disabled
To protect your privacy, screenshots cannot be taken on the Likes screen or the Messages screen.

Our Commitment to Safety and Security
