Manchester · the North West
Manchester, all at once.
Ether is a dating app made of ten-second videos instead of profiles. One night a week, everyone here who’s counted in opens it at the same time, instead of one by one.
You put your name down in the app.

How a Night works
Count yourself in.
On the Nights tab in the app, for your region’s next night. You do it each week, and the count is public and real.
Go live the way you always do.
Record your ten-second intro from your profile, before the night or on it. Nothing about going live changes.
Doors open an hour before the start.
Until it closes later that evening, the room shows everyone in your region who goes live, plus anyone counted in whose intro is already up. The start is when everyone turns up.
Watch, spark, and see how it went.
Watching needs no intro, and nobody can start a chat with you unless you say yes. The next morning, the app shows how the night went. Real numbers, or nothing.
Discover works as it always does. A night just means everyone near you is on at the same time.
What you’re walking into
Ten seconds of video, not photos.
You see and hear someone before anything else. There’s no old photo to be surprised by.
Everyone’s age is checked.
Every account passes a facial age check before it can see anyone. It checks age, not identity.
Nobody can start a chat with you unless you say yes.
A chat opens only when you accept someone’s video or reply to it. Ignore it and it goes nowhere.
Free. Not a trial, not a tier.
There’s nothing to buy. The first fifty people in the North West never pay, whatever we charge later. It’s in our terms.
It’s small. We publish exactly how small.
Most apps hide how many people are on them. We print ours, live, and right now it’s small. You’d be early.
See the live mapYou can watch first.
You don’t have to record anything to watch. When you’re ready, your intro is ten seconds, and it comes down on its own. If you spark someone before then, it waits until your intro is up.
Better with a mate.
Send this to a friend in Manchester and you’ll both be there.
Plainly.
The night runs whatever the count.
Busy or quiet, it happens every week. If nobody goes live, the app says so the next morning, with the next date.
You count yourself in each week.
The count is people who said yes to that week’s night. It starts again after every night.
The count is people, nothing else.
We never show who’s in, and never how many men or women.
UK only.
Ether is for people in the UK.
