Connected to Trade RC — a dating & chat app for gay and queer adults. 18+.
Talk first.
Match later.
IRC-style chat rooms meet a modern dating app. Join a room, talk before anyone swipes, match when it's actually mutual.
iOS & macOS · Free · Plus and Premium optional
Rooms with real IRC bones.
Topic channels with sigils you can read at a glance — #room names, +voice, @op. The old commands still work. Lurk first, jump in when you're ready — your call.

A handful a day, with reasons.
Every day Trade RC surfaces a few compatibility matches with a clear breakdown of why you fit. Icebreakers are generated on-device with Apple's Foundation Models — your match data never leaves your phone for AI suggestions.
