People are obsessed with Tinder. Since its launch in 2012, the dating app has become a household name, with an estimated 50 million active users and 26 million daily matches.
These days, every other new matchmaking app looks like it was inspired by Tinder's simple interface: Swipe right to indicate a "like," swipe left for "dislike." There's a Tinder-like service for dog owners, for millionaires and even for for pot lovers.
But not all these matchmaking apps have anything to do with sex, dating or finding love. You can swipe right for baby names, new apartments, local parties and much more. Here are 7 of our favorite relationship-free Tinder clones:
If you're totally over Seamless and GrubHub, Nibbly might be the solution. This app allows you to flip through local restaurants and bars, view menus and make reservations. Your next meal might be just a few swipes away.
What can be more stressful than dating? Apartment hunting, obviously. HomeSwipe promises to help you "enjoy the process of finding your new home." The app lets you swipe through verified listings in your area and even chat with an agent instantly.
Need a cute pup in your life? BarkBuddy connects pet-seekers with dogs that need a home. You can swipe through thousands of dogs' profiles in your area and reach out to rescue organizations by phone or email.
Remember when you had to print out a copy of your resume and bring it with you for job interviews? With Switch, there's no need to spend time scouring job listings or writing cover letters: All you have to do is sync the app to your LinkedIn, swipe on the jobs you like and wait to get matched.
If you want to kick off your Friday night with a rager, KickOn's got a plan for you. You can request invites to joint parties nearby, or create your own events.
