Every night, you scroll.

And every night, your algorithm takes notes. Your humor. Your obsessions. Your 2am spirals.

Somewhere out there, someone's algorithm has been taking the same notes.

We built the thing that finds them.

Your For You page has great taste. Let it pick your person.

Doppel is a dating app that matches people by their TikTok algorithm, not their photos. Right now we're testing the engine, and we need real feeds to test it on.

Take the match test How it works

Single or taken, doesn't matter. This phase is a test, not a dating pool.

An old legend says two people fated to meet are tied by an invisible red thread.
It stretches. It tangles. It never breaks.
Yours is made of data. We just follow it.
01
Zero effort

You've been writing your dating profile for years. One scroll at a time.

Every other app makes you build yourself from scratch. We just read what's already there.

Nothing to write

No bio. No prompts. No pressure to be witty in 300 characters.

Nothing to perform

No staged golden-hour photos. Your feed can't be faked, and that's the point.

Nothing to swipe

One match report that already knows. Not a thousand thumbs to wear out.

02
The match test

Three steps. Ten minutes.

1

Download your TikTok data

TikTok hands you a file of what it knows about your taste. Takes two minutes to request.

2

Send it through our channel

One private upload link. It goes straight to the matching engine and nowhere else.

3

Get your match report

Your taste fingerprint, your shared niches, and who in the test scrolls in sync with you.

Taken? Even better. Test it with your partner and see what your algorithms say about you two.

The walkthrough

Getting your TikTok data

It's your data, and TikTok hands it over whenever you ask. Here's the path.

1
Open settingsProfile → Settings and privacy
2
Find the exportAccountDownload your data
3
Select only what's neededTick Likes and Favourites + Your Activity. Nothing else. Leave DMs, comments, posts and the rest unticked
4
Pick JSON formatNot TXT. Then tap Request data
5
Wait a littleMinutes to a few hours. Grab the .zip from the Download data tab
6
Send it overUpload the .zip below. No need to unzip it

TikTok's download link expires after a few days, so send it over soon after it arrives. Menu looks different on your version? Just search "download your data" inside TikTok settings.

04
The promise

Built like we'd want our own data treated.

What the engine reads

  • Interest categories, the stuff TikTok thinks you're into
  • Search terms, the niches you actually go looking for
  • Watch timestamps, which tell us your scrolling rhythm
  • Likes and favourites, your taste in action

What it never touches

  • Direct messages. They're not even in the download
  • Comments, posts, videos or drafts
  • Login records, IPs, device data
  • Advertising. Nothing gets sold or shared, ever

Your raw file becomes an anonymous taste fingerprint, then it's deleted. Want out entirely? One message and everything's gone.

05
Under the hood

How the engine actually works.

No black box. Four steps, all explainable.

1

Parse

Your export gets read once: interest categories, search terms, watch timestamps. After that the raw file is deleted.

2

Fingerprint

Your taste becomes a weighted vector across ~15 interest clusters. Rare niches count for more than viral trends, because pottery says more about you than a meme everyone's seen.

inverse-popularity weighting
3

Compare

Fingerprints are scored pairwise on how their clusters align, plus scrolling rhythm. Night owls sync with night owls.

4

Score

The match score peaks near 75% overlap, not 100%. The research is pretty clear that you don't want to date your clone. You want someone who adds a few new obsessions.

The last step you do yourself

Send your feed. We'll follow the thread.

Files land in restricted storage that only the engine touches. We'll confirm once it's in, and your match report comes back within a few days.
