Built for real Australians
“Yarn” is what we call a good chat — and “connect” is what we're all about. Yarnnect combines the two to create something you won't find anywhere else.
Most apps make you swipe and hope for the best. Yarnnect gives you real ways to meet real people — through shared interests, local communities, events, and conversations that actually go somewhere.
Whether you're new to town, looking for love, wanting to expand your social circle, or just keen to find people who love what you love — Yarnnect was built for you.
Australian-made
Built with Australian culture and values at the core.
Safe & respectful
Built with reporting, blocking, privacy controls, and community standards designed to protect every user.
Genuine connections
More meaningful than a swipe. Real people, real moments.
Growing fast
Starting in Australia, with eyes on the world.
Built with safety in mind
Genuine connection only works when people feel safe. Yarnnect is built around tools and standards designed to protect your experience and respect your privacy.
Reporting & blocking
Yarnnect includes reporting and blocking tools so you can flag inappropriate behaviour and control who can interact with you. We take every report seriously.
Respectful community standards
All users are expected to treat others with respect. Our community standards are designed to keep Yarnnect a welcoming, inclusive space for everyone — no exceptions.
Privacy controls
Yarnnect gives you meaningful say over what you share and with whom. Your data and personal information will not be sold to third parties.
Safer location sharing
Yarnnect helps you discover people nearby using approximate locations only — never your precise address. You stay in control of what you share.
Moderation & account safety
Yarnnect has moderation systems to help keep the community safe and take action on accounts that break the rules. Safety is a priority.
You're always in control
If something doesn't feel right, you can stop the conversation. Block, report, or simply walk away — Yarnnect is designed to support your comfort and autonomy at every step.
Safety is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time feature. As Yarnnect grows, we'll keep improving our tools and standards in response to community feedback. If you have a concern or suggestion, reach us at [email protected].
