HOW MATCHING WORKS
Answer questions about money, family, lifestyle, values, and long-term goals. Then discover people who want the same future.
Step 1
How many children would you like to have?
Inspired by what made online dating great.
We bring back the thoughtful matching systems that helped millions of people find meaningful relationships before dating became endless swiping.
Dealbreaker filters are free - forever.
Mark what matters - kids, religion, star sign, lifestyle - and discover amazing matches for free.
Our mission
We want you to find a compatible partner and build a future you're excited to share.

Our principles
Three principles shape how we help people understand compatibility and find someone they can build a life with.
You see exactly how you and a match compare - question by question, dealbreaker by dealbreaker. Every match comes with the real breakdown behind it: what you both answered, where it lines up, and where it doesn't. Nothing here asks you to trust a number you can't see into.
Searching, filtering, and seeing who actually fits you is never something you pay for at jastado. We designed the jastado dating app to give you all the necessary tools so that you can find your person.
At jastado, we approach compatibility like love researchers. We study what helps relationships form, grow, and last, then use what we learn to keep making the experience better. We believe the right relationship can change far more than your dating life - it can help you build something meaningful and give you more space to focus on all the other amazing parts of life.

Inside the experience
Jastado gives you more to go on before a first date: thoughtful questions, visible compatibility, and a better sense of whether the two of you might click.

See the strongest signal first: how closely your expectations for life align. It gives you a clear starting point for understanding whether someone may fit the future you want.
Choose the dealbreaker questions that matter most and see them directly on a profile - whether you align, differ, or still need an answer.
Hear someone answer a prompt in their own voice. Voices shape attraction and help us form impressions quickly, giving you another early signal of chemistry between you.
Written prompts give you room to show how you think, the values that matter to you, and the small details that make you who you are. We encourage everyone to answer in their own words instead of using AI, so your real self can come through.
Like a particular photo, prompt, or interest, so the other person knows exactly what caught your attention and where the conversation could begin. You can also add a note to start the conversation.
Add the hobbies and interests that matter to you, then discover people who enjoy the same things. You already have something in common - a great way to meet someone new. The founder of jastado met their partner this way, through a shared interest.
A clear daily limit creates a natural pause to look closely, choose thoughtfully, and give each person real consideration.
A thoughtful questionnaire built around the values, expectations, and life plans that shape a relationship over time - so your alignment is based on what genuinely matters to both of you.
Filter by the compatibility measures that matter to you - whether someone wants children, already has children, smokes or drinks, or is looking for a long-term relationship. Every compatibility filter is available to everyone, so you can focus on people whose lives and intentions fit yours.
See who has liked you and choose which connections you would like to explore.
The question catalog
We are building the catalog with you. After you join Jastado, you can submit a question about money, family, faith, travel, or the thing you usually learn on date three. The strongest questions join the shared bank so that you can help others find someone they might build a life with.
Marriage
How do you feel about marriage?
Housework
In a live-in relationship, how should housework get done?
Money
Would you date someone who is often in debt / lives paycheck to paycheck by choice?
Life
