ABOUT

Sweet, real and a little stubborn. Just like lokum.

We're building Lokum because the big apps turned meeting people into a game. We believe in fewer profiles, better conversations and a community that puts real people first.

Real beats big

We'd rather grow a smaller community of genuine people than chase millions of accounts nobody can vouch for.

Culture matters

Memleket, family, language... we know how much these things can matter. So you can match on them if you want to; you never have to.

You're not the product

An ad-free feed, and your data is not for sale. We make our money from subscriptions, not from your attention.

Built in the Netherlands, with roots in Türkiye

Lokum is a small team from the Netherlands. We're building the app we wanted for ourselves: a place to meet someone properly, without having to explain your story three times over.

Got questions, ideas, or want to build this with us? Drop us a line; we'd love to hear from you.

A bit more about Lokum

What is Lokum and how does it work? The dating app that brings Turks together.

Lokum is a dating and meeting app for Turks and anyone who feels close to Turkish culture, wherever in the world you call home.

Unlike generic apps, Lokum is built around what actually matters to us: roots, background, culture and language. Pick your hometown from all 81 provinces, discover Turks near you, and chat the moment you match.

Safety and privacy come first: profile verification is optional and earns you a badge, and you can block or report anyone in a tap. Download Lokum free on the App Store and Google Play.
