Why does Sapios exist?
Traditional dating apps are broken. We came to change that.
Swipe culture
Infinite swiping has turned people into disposable products. Sapios makes you observe each profile for at least 5 seconds.
Empty connections
Matches that never become real conversations. In Sapios, compatibility goes beyond a photo.
Constant ghosting
Conversations that die without explanation. Our deep questions foster authentic dialogues from the start.
Endless cycle
Apps designed to keep you single. Sapios is the first dating app designed to be deleted.
Superficial conversations
"Hey, how are you?" goes nowhere. We give you tools for meaningful conversations.
Emotional burnout
Dating app fatigue is real. We created an experience that respects your time and emotional energy.
“Most apps profit while you stay single. Sapios is designed to help you find real connections.”

Stories & Curiosities
If you were given a free ticket for an extreme activity, which one would you say yes to?
“Definitely skydiving. I've always wanted to feel that adrenaline of falling into the void, even though I'm terrified just thinking about it.”
Relationships & Love
Forget words, what's your secret language to say I love you?
“For me it's cooking for someone. When I prepare something special, I'm saying you matter to me and I want to take care of you.”
Values & Beliefs
What's a social rule or belief that people insist you follow, but makes you a little angry?

These questions generate 3x longer conversations than a simple "hello".

Everything you need to know about Sapios.
Sapios is the only dating app that integrates scientifically validated emotional intelligence tests into its matching algorithm. We evaluate your self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and social skills to connect you with emotionally compatible people.
Sapios uses IQ tests that evaluate 10 different cognitive dimensions. Our algorithm connects you with people of similar intellectual level, ensuring stimulating conversations and deeper connections.
Sapios is specifically designed for people seeking serious and meaningful relationships. Unlike other apps that prioritize quick swiping, we encourage conscious profile observation and deep conversations from the start.
Our values test identifies your fundamental principles: family values, life vision, priorities, and personal ethics. Sapios' algorithm connects you with people who share these values, which are the foundation of lasting relationships.
Sapios is a pioneer in using comprehensive psychological compatibility. We combine IQ, emotional intelligence, and values to create a complete compatibility profile. It's not just physical attraction, it's real connection based on science.
Sapios is ideal for introverts because it eliminates the pressure of infinite swiping. Each profile requires 5 seconds of observation, deep questions avoid awkward small talk, and compatibility matching reduces superficial matches.
Sapios fights superficiality in three ways: 1) Tests that reveal real compatibility, 2) Deep questions that start meaningful conversations, 3) Identity verification that ensures authentic profiles. Our philosophy is quality over quantity.
Emotional compatibility is the ability of two people to understand, respect, and complement each other's emotions. At Sapios, we measure this through emotional intelligence tests and questions that reveal how you process and express your feelings.
Sapios has a free version that allows you to complete all compatibility tests, view profiles, and send messages. Premium features include seeing who liked you, advanced filters, and more exclusive deep questions.
Each user must pass real-time facial verification that compares their selfie with profile photos. We also use identity validation to ensure each person is who they say they are. This eliminates catfish and fake profiles.
