What is Checkmates App?

When it feels like you can’t win, check in with a mate. 

Checkmates is a mobile app designed to connect individuals who are sharing a difficult situation. 

With today’s increasing awareness surrounding Mental Health, statistics are ever proving how detrimental feelings of loneliness can be on our wellbeing. This is an area of emphasised importance as we recover from the feelings of disconnect and isolation that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought upon us.

Checkmates uses algorithms and a dating app "swipe right" style in order to help the individual find profiles they can relate to. Our focus on imagery and metaphors to describe each user’s story erases the need for potentially triggering language. Therefore putting the user in control of their information and how they would like to receive support.

Loneliness doesn't discriminate, everyone deserves to find people who can truly understand what they are going through, who can remind you that you are never alone.
