Dating should be
deliberate,
not addictive.

Troth is a three-layer matching system for adults who are done performing and ready to be known. Dealbreakers first. Compatibility in plain language. Trust earned through behavior.

Get started

Repair after tension Strong fit
Follow-through and ownership Strong fit

Category-level summaries only. Raw scores are never shared.

Not one score. Three layers of signal.

Troth filters dealbreakers first, summarizes compatibility in plain language, and lets trust be earned through behavior over time.

Layer 1

Hard blockers

Non-negotiables declared by you or enforced by policy. These are absolute.

Relationship structure Children Geography Faith and lifestyle Safety and trust
Layer 2

Profile fit

Category-level summaries from validated measures. No single score decides your match.

Attachment pattern
Comfort with closeness, dependence, and emotional security.
Repair after tension
How someone names tension and finds their way back after conflict.
Strong fit
Follow-through and ownership
How reliably someone follows through and owns their impact.
Strong fit
Emotional clarity and steadiness
How steady someone stays under pressure.
Promising fit
Life design
Family design, financial style, and practical structure.
Category-level summaries only. Raw scores are never shared.
Based on confidence, a future retake can sharpen the signal.
Layer 3

Behavioral trust

Actions refine match quality over time. Answers matter. Behavior matters more.

Five design principles

Every feature, every screen, every algorithm decision passes through these filters.

01

Make truth easier

Validated assessments and anti-faking logic replace the performance of curated profiles.

02

Make repair normal

Guided reflection, post-date check-ins, and repair style modules built into the experience.

03

Make dignity default

No popularity contests. No boosts. No exposing someone's vulnerabilities to strangers.

04

Make ownership unavoidable

Accountability prompts and behavioral consistency tracking reward honesty over impression management.

05

Make manipulation unnecessary

When the system is fair and transparent, gaming it becomes pointless.

Built on relationship research

The three-layer structure maps to how serious compatibility research works: screen for hard limits, measure psychometric fit, then track behavioral consistency. No proprietary magic - just a system that respects how people actually bond.

Attachment science. Layer 2 draws on validated anxiety and avoidance measures - not self-reported "I'm secure" claims.
Behavioral economics. Layer 3 tracks revealed preferences - what people do, not what they say about themselves.
No composite score. Aggregating five dimensions into one number destroys the signal. Troth never does it.

What Troth optimizes for

  • Verification and assessment completion
  • First-date conversion
  • Post-date perceived honesty and safety
  • 3-month committed dating rate
  • 12-month relationship satisfaction
  • Low fraud and harassment rates

What Troth refuses to optimize

  • Time spent in the app
  • Swipe volume
  • Message count
  • Compulsive return behavior
  • Vanity metrics or popularity scores
  • Keeping people single longer

The best dating app is the one you no longer need.

Troth's success metric is your departure. We build the system that helps serious people find each other, grow together, and leave.
