For Immediate Release
Gettit's 'Who's Out Tonight' Feature Lets You See Who's Actually Available Right Now
March 31, 2026
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW YORK, NY — APRIL 2026
Gettit, the privacy-first dating app launching in New York City this spring, today announced one of its most buzzworthy features: Who’s Out Tonight — a real-time availability toggle that lets users signal they’re open to meeting up right now, not just browsing.
The feature targets one of the most persistent frustrations in modern dating: the gap between being online and being actually available. Traditional apps like Tinder, Grindr, Bumble, and Hinge show presence indicators, but none offer a dedicated intent signal — a way for users to say “I’m out, I’m open, come find me.”
How Who’s Out Tonight Works
When a user activates the toggle, a distinctive “Out Tonight” pill badge appears on their profile card in the real-time proximity grid. Other users can filter the grid to show only people who are out, dramatically reducing the signal-to-noise ratio on evenings and weekends.
A modal prompt surfaces when the feature is toggled on, letting users optionally specify what they’re looking for — coffee, drinks, a walk, or whatever fits the moment. A dedicated filter chip in the grid makes it easy to surface only those who’ve signaled availability.
“People don’t just want to match — they want to actually meet. Who’s Out Tonight is our answer to the endless swiping loop. It’s a tap that says: I’m here, I’m real, let’s go.” — Jax Sterling, CEO & Co-Founder, Gettit
Why This Matters: The Competition Gap
- Tinder’s Explore tab surfaces content, not intent — it’s a scroll experience, not an availability signal
- Grindr’s “Right Now” feature shows proximity but lacks explicit intent or activity-type context
- Bumble’s BFF Mode and Date Mode separate intent at the app level — Who’s Out Tonight does it in real time, within the same grid
- Hinge has no real-time availability system at all — its daily picks model is the opposite of live
Who’s Out Tonight works alongside Gettit’s real-time presence system, which already shows online status via our secure chat integration. Together, they create the richest signal in the market: this person is nearby, they’re online, and they’re explicitly open to meeting right now.
The Privacy Layer
Consistent with Gettit’s neighborhood-level location fuzzing, Who’s Out Tonight never exposes precise location. The feature signals intent and proximity — not an exact address. Users control when the badge appears and can deactivate it at any time.
Who’s Out Tonight is available to all Gettit users at no additional charge — it’s a core Basic-plan feature, not a Plus upgrade.
