Alternative to Muslima
Let your values guide the introduction.
Muslima brings together Muslim singles looking for lasting relationships. If you're exploring personal matchmaking too, Known starts by listening to what matters to you. Tell us about your values, your life and who you're hoping to meet. We'll make an introduction and help plan the date if you both say yes. Give the conversation a little room to grow.
Really polished and easy-to-use interface. Everything feels clean, intuitive, and thoughtfully designed. I enjoyed exploring the app and was truly impressed by how seamless and modern the experience feels. It’s clear a lot of care has gone into design and usability, and I appreciate how approachable everything is. Excited to see how known continues to evolve and grow!!
Love this concept!
Different than other apps and it really feels more personal
How is Known different?
Can someone else handle the planning?
We make the date happen
When you and your match are ready to meet, Known finds a time that works for both of you, picks a spot nearby, books the reservation, and sends you the details. We take care of everything so you don’t have to.
Ready for something beyond an inbox?
Meet people looking for what you are
Known is a community of intentional daters who are ready for a real relationship. Whether you’re newly single, divorced, have been dating for a while, or simply ready to find your person - our matchmaker gets to know you and what you’re looking for so we can find the same in the people we introduce you to.
Want a date that fits your life?
Your preferences matter.
Your match, preferences, and availability help shape the date. Known looks for a place that fits, not just somewhere to meet.
What will it feel like in person?
Skip the pen-pal phase
We believe chemistry is best discovered in person, not over a screen. Known skips the endless small talk and conversations that go nowhere, so you can see if there’s a spark in person. Once you both say yes to an introduction, Known finds a time that works and plans the date. Save the real getting-to-know-you part for when you meet.
More than a questionnaire?
Meet someone chosen for you
There’s a lot about you that could never fit into a dating profile. At Known, we get to know all the little things that make you, you - your quirks, values, aspirations, and what you’re looking for in a relationship. We do the same with your potential matches, so we can introduce you to someone we believe you’ll have real compatibility with.
Do you want to browse, or be introduced?
Dating that cares about your time
Known is searching for your match every day, so you don’t have to spend hours swiping or checking for someone new. When we find someone you want to meet, we plan the date and send you the details. You just have to show up.
Known vs Muslima
The starting point
Muslima is oriented toward Muslim singles seeking lasting relationships and marriage.
Known starts with a conversation about your values, preferences and relationship goals.
Getting to know someone
Search filters include location, lifestyle and dating intention, supported by detailed profiles.
When both people want to meet, Known helps plan the date and its practical details.
Your phone
Muslima has listings on both the US App Store and Google Play.
Known is available on iOS and Android, so you can choose the same matchmaking service on either phone.
So glad this app exists, I’m already being matched with such perfect dates, I’m so excited
It feels tailored in a world of swiping. Definitely worth the wait for them to find you a match.
Goodbye hinge, this so so much better
How Known Works
A little more personal.
Swipeless dating.
You don't browse people. You're introduced to them.
Known starts by getting to know you. Not just your profile, but how you think, what you value, and who you're drawn to.
From there, we introduce you to one person at a time. Someone chosen with intention. Someone worth meeting.
No endless options. No small talk.
If there's mutual interest, we set the date. Time, place, everything handled. All you have to do is show up.
It gets better over time.
After each date, Known learns. What felt right. What didn't. What surprised you.
So every introduction becomes more accurate. More natural. More you.
Less searching. More knowing.
Some of our favorite places
Where Known dates take place
Pacific Heights / San Francisco
Jane on Fillmore
Jane on Fillmore works for a coffee that quietly turns into lunch. There’s counter and table seating, an all-day breakfast menu, and enough pastries to make ordering a second thing feel inevitable.

Marina / San Francisco
Palace of Fine Arts
Take a walk around the Palace of Fine Arts just before sunset, when the light hits the rotunda and reflects across the lagoon. The loop itself only takes about 15 minutes, so pair it with coffee, wine, or dinner nearby if you want to make a night of it.

Fort Mason / San Francisco
The Interval at Long Now
The Interval provides its own conversation starters: towering bookshelves, a drawing robot and exhibits about thinking on a very long timescale. The Fort Mason space is both a café and cocktail bar, so it works whether your date calls for coffee or something stronger.
