A social app for dudes who like dudes — gay, bi, curious, however you wear it. From DudesNetwork — an independent team that's been building this community for 24 years. Built for the part of the day where you can leave the curtains open.
01 · Idea
DudesNude is the late‑night door — adults only, all the way honest. DudesChat is the daylight door — same neighborhood, same neighbors, just the part of the day where you can leave the curtains open.
Built for dudes into dudes — gay, bi, curious, whatever the label. By people who've been running a community for two decades. Not a generic feed with a rainbow filter — a place that knows what you actually came here for.
Profiles, chat, browse, meetups — all of it visible on a phone you'd hand to a coworker. The body shots, the cam rooms, the rest of it lives next door at DudesNude, and we'll happily walk you there.
No ads. No data brokers. No "engagement metrics" deciding who you see. Subscription only — and Founder members get locked‑in pricing for life.
"Same dudes.
Pants on."
02 · Features
Profiles, conversations, communities, location privacy by design. The basics, well-made. None of the things that make other apps feel like a slot machine.
Communities, not algorithms
Pick the communities you actually belong to — sports, daddies, beards, geeks, otters, whatever fits — and find dudes who picked them too. No black-box scoring. You set what matters; the app does the rest of the math.
Conversations
Real-time messages with read receipts you can turn off, voice notes when typing is too much, and a one-tap "say hi" that doesn't make you stare at a blank field. No swiping, no scoring, no quota.
Location, done right
We round your location — 100m in a city, 500m in the countryside. You see distance, not coordinates. Nobody gets your exact spot unless you choose to drop it into a single message, and even then it's one‑shot.
Browse
A clean grid of dudes near you, sorted by what you care about — distance, match, who just came online. Hide the cards you've already seen. Save the searches you keep running. No ads in the feed. Ever.
03 · Cover photo competition
The hero photo on this page should be one of you. We're running a cover photo competition on DudesNude — pick the theme "what community means to you," submit a SFW shot, community votes, founder picks the winner. Winner gets a lifetime Pioneer membership and their photo on every device that loads this site.

05 · News
Build updates, design notes, the occasional thinking-out-loud post about why this app exists. No press releases, no growth-hacking, just the actual work.
Our community turned 24 last month. The world has moved on the phone. We had to too. Here's what we're trying to make, and what we're not.
Read →The face of the launch is one of you. Theme: "what community means to you." Three weeks of submissions, one week of community vote, founder picks the winner.
Read →The three-tier content model — SFW public, Adult opt-in, Explicit elsewhere — lets us ship on iOS without pretending the community isn't what it is.

Short answers. If yours isn't here, write us at hi@dudes.chat.
DudesNude (since 2002) is the 18+ adult platform — nudity, cams, the works. DudesChat is the SFW mobile app — profiles, conversations, communities, no skin. Same independent team, same audience, different settings. You can use one, the other, or both.
Q4 2026 on iOS and Android, with a web companion. TestFlight beta opens for Pioneer members earlier. Waitlist gets the first launch invites.
The app is subscription-only — no ads, no data sale. We're finalizing standard pricing (it'll be in the $8/month neighborhood). Founder and Pioneer tiers lock in lifetime access during presale.
No. DudesChat is a separate app with its own sign-up. If you already have a DudesNude account you can link them and skip the email verification — but it's optional.
Location is rounded before it leaves your phone (100m city / 500m countryside). Coordinates are never sent to other users. Photos are stored on EU servers (Switzerland + France). We don't sell data. We don't have advertisers to sell it to.
On iOS — no, because Apple's rules. On Android and the web, opt-in adult-tier content (between consenting users in private DMs) is on the roadmap. Explicit/hardcore stays on DudesNude.
Theme Park AG, a Swiss company in Zurich. The team behind DudesNetwork — building this community since 2002. Independent. Member-funded. No outside investors.
On dudesnude.com/competition. You need a DudesNude account (free, 18+) so we can verify the submitter is real. SFW shots only — the winner appears on this page, so the rules match.
