Freddie helps members of the sapphic, trans, and gender-diverse community make connections online and off.

What we love: How Freddie creates space for people to express their full self and find like-minded people. Customize your profile with photos, songs, and lifestyle details, then explore the app’s Spaces to chat with fellow dog lovers, fashionistas, workout enthusiasts, and more. You can also share and find queer events in Freddie—like bingo nights, volunteer days, and dance parties.

Quick tip: Freddie’s People Search offers advanced filters that make it easy to meet members who share your hyper-specific interests. (Feel free to zero in on a particular attachment style or zodiac sign.)

Meet the creator: Founded by Carmen Hernandez in 2023, Freddie is an independently run, queer-owned app based in San Francisco. The team of three built Freddie to create a safe space that centered on their community’s needs.
