A prompt to build your own version of Bumble

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Bumble-style app, first version

Build an iPhone dating app for adults where women send the first message after a mutual match. The main screen should show one profile card with photos, a first name, age and a short bio. Let me swipe or tap Like and Pass to move through profiles. Use realistic fictional sample profiles and simulated likes so I can try getting a match. Add a matches screen that opens a sample conversation. Let me switch between sample member roles to test that a woman can start the chat and the other person can reply only afterward. Keep everything on sample data for now. Use warm coral accents, cream backgrounds, rounded cards and clear, readable text.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Bumble won't have

Bumble gives people an existing pool of potential dates, backed by human moderation and safety partnerships that a homemade app would not inherit.

  • Bumble's existing local singles
  • Bumble's human moderation team
