Loophole is an iOS social networking app designed to help people connect with others who are physically nearby. Available as a limited beta through Apple TestFlight, the app uses participating venues such as bars, cafés, lobbies, and event spaces as settings for meeting people. It is intended for dating, professional networking, making friends, events and conferences, and university communities.

When a user enters a participating venue, Bluetooth detects their presence and checks them in automatically. The app then shows who else is there, allowing users to send a “wave” to express interest. A conversation opens only when both people respond with a wave. Rather than relying on feeds, followers, likes, rankings, or algorithms, Loophole focuses on real-time presence and mutual interest.

The company says it does not track users in the background or outside venues. Check-out happens automatically when someone leaves, making them invisible again. Loophole is free during its testing period and requires iOS 16 or later.
