Nerd

Find the people who think most like you

Visit getnerd.appAlternativestop 2% of September 2026

What it does

Most social apps start with a profile and hope chemistry follows. Nerd flips that. Answer two-choice Decks about the things you love and see exactly who thinks most like you with an Overall Answer Match score out of 100. The binary choice is the matching engine, not a warm-up. Users create their own Decks, chat in-app, follow each other, and earn XP, badges, and streaks that keep them coming back. No algorithms. Just curiosity. Free on iOS and Android.

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers.
