Unofficial Grindr client. Free, open source client with no ads, no trackers and no paywalls, driven by the community.

I’ve been working on reverse-engineering Grindr and creating an open source client implementation for it since March.

When GrindrPlus closed, my project turned out to be its de-facto successor and immediatelly several thousands of people started following it. Now it has 70k+ downloads on Forgejo and the authorship is dedicated to public domain :)

  • MIT licensed, no ads, no analytics, no trackers, no diagnostics, no statistics, no telemetry, only opt-in updates checking
  • Signed releases, reproducible builds on all four platforms, full transparency
  • And it’s now in Google Play (for the time being) and being reviewed for F-Droid!

Already applied for Apple developer enrollment and going to publish this to EU alt stores as well as in the TestFlight. Then a classic unsigned ipa and also going to attempt Apple AppStore just for completeness.

You need an existing Grindr account. Downloads: https://opengrind.org/download

    What am I going to say to my constituents?

    You don’t have to be gay to use a gay app.

    That probably works.

      This makes sense. I’ll have to come clean… What??? What happened?? I’m not a politician anymore!
