Why parents love it

Invisible decline

Say “not this time” without anyone knowing. No awkwardness, no hurt feelings, no explanation needed.

Real availability

Mark when your child can host or go elsewhere. Matchlings finds actual overlapping windows — dates and times included.

Built for siblings

Each child gets their own avatar and schedule. Bring a sibling along in one tap when they're free too.

In your own calendar

Subscribe to a private feed and every confirmed playdate lands in the calendar you already use.

How it works

1. Build your circle

Invite parents you already know. Every connection is mutual — no strangers, no discovery.

2. Set your real availability

Show when your kids can host or go elsewhere, week by week. Life changes, so the app keeps up.

3. Review surprise suggestions

Matchlings surfaces playdate ideas from your circle. Swipe through, say yes or pass — privately.

4. Match and arrange handover

When you both say yes, the chat opens. Agree on pickup, drop-off, and anything good to know.

Questions parents ask

Limits, cancellations, billing, and how we keep things private.

What does the free plan cost me?

Nothing, and there's no card. While Matchlings is in beta, the free plan gives you your circle, suggestions, matches and chat.

What is Family, then?

The paid plan we're building next: scheduling extras like your usual week, calendar sync, pick-up and drop-off plans, and care notes. Join the waitlist and you'll be first in, at founding-member pricing.

Can I cancel or change my plan?

Anytime, from your account settings. Switch between monthly and yearly, drop back to Free, or delete your account entirely. No awkward calls, no hidden fees.

What is the invisible decline?

When you pass on a playdate suggestion, the other parent is never told. The card simply disappears, so saying no stays completely private.

Is my child's information safe?

Yes. Children are only ever visible to parents in your circle, and care notes, allergies and contact numbers stay hidden until a playdate is mutually agreed. GDPR-friendly and built in the Netherlands.

What's a founding member?

Our first 100 sign-ups keep full access free forever in exchange for helping shape Matchlings. Once the counter hits zero, the offer closes.
