* Doorstep is finished and sitting with Apple's App Review — the final step before release. The review is taking longer than expected and the timing is entirely in Apple's hands, so we're not promising a date we can't control. Join the list below and we'll email you the moment it's live.

Privacy first

Suburb-level, never your address

📍 Suburb name only — never your address, and no way to tell where you actually are
🕶️ Pause map visibility any time from Settings

Homeowners only.
That's the point.

Owning your home says the things a bio never can — you're settled, you know where life is headed, and you're not moving to Bali next month. Everyone on Doorstep has done the same hard yards, so every match starts at the same stage of life.

Tell people exactly what you're after — anything from casual through to life partner, or just mates — and daily knock limits mean nobody here is playing the numbers game.

Your street is waiting.

Doorstep opens suburb by suburb. Reserve your spot with your email and home suburb — when the app goes live, your suburb is already set and waiting for you.

iPhone: launching first · Android: built and coming a little later

Australia first. We store only your email and chosen suburb — no account is created until you sign up in the app. See our Privacy Policy.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you might want to know about the dating app for Australian homeowners.

What is Doorstep, and who is it for?

Doorstep is an Australian dating and social app built exclusively for homeowners. It connects people who are settled in their suburb and love their home — the DIYers, renovators, gardeners, and weekend Bunnings regulars — with others at the same stage of life. If your weekends involve a reno project, a new deck stain, gardening, or a smart home upgrade, Doorstep is built for you.

Is Doorstep available in Australia?

Yes. Doorstep is launching in Australia first, with full coverage across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra, Darwin, and regional suburbs. Other countries will follow.

Which devices is Doorstep available on?

The iPhone (iOS) app is finished and currently with Apple's App Review — the final step before it appears on the App Store. Review timing is in Apple's hands, so we can't promise an exact release date. The Android app is built and running well, but we're focusing on the iPhone launch first and will bring Android a little later. Join the waitlist above and we'll email you the moment each one goes live.

How is Doorstep different from other dating apps?

Most dating apps mix renters, travellers, and people who haven't decided where to settle. Doorstep is only for verified homeowners, so every match is at a similar life stage — focused on building a life in their home and suburb rather than figuring out where to land.

Is Doorstep only about dating?

No. Plenty of homeowners are after a reno buddy, a gardening neighbour, or just someone local who can recommend a decent tradie. Doorstep is built around your suburb — dating is one part of it, community is the rest.

Can I use Doorstep to make friends and meet neighbours, not just date?

Yes. Doorstep works as a social network for your suburb as much as a dating app. Every member is a local homeowner, so you can wave to make friends, find a reno buddy or gardening mate, and use your suburb's community board to get to know the neighbours — no dating required.

Can other people see my location?

No. Doorstep never asks for or accesses your device's location — there's no GPS involved at all. When you sign up you type the name of your home suburb, and that's the only location detail we store. On the People Map, neighbours see you pinned near your suburb's centre, deliberately offset by around 1.5 km at random — never your street, address, or actual position.

Can I hide myself from the People Map?

Yes. Go to Settings → Privacy and turn off "Show me on the People Map". You'll disappear from the map, suburb mini-maps and the Neighbours-nearby strip. Visibility works both ways, so while you're hidden those surfaces pause for you too — your matches, chats and suburb board keep working as normal.

Is Doorstep free?

Doorstep is free to download and use. Optional Pro and Max subscriptions are available for higher daily limits and additional features.
