Taimi (/teɪmi/ TAY-mee) is a dating app that caters to the LGBTQI+ community, providing a fluid dating experience. The network matches its registered users based on their selected preferences and location. While originally an online dating service for gay men, it now operates as a fluid dating app for this entire community.

Currently, Taimi operates in more than 138 countries, including the US, UK, the Netherlands, Spain, Central and South America, Ukraine, and other European and Asian countries.
Taimi runs on iOS and Android. The mobile app has a free and subscription-based premium version and offers a number of services for communication, including live streaming, chatting, and video calling. [1][2][3][4]
Taimi was launched in 2017 by Social Impact, Inc. in Las Vegas. Its founder, Alex Pasykov, originally called the app "Tame Me," a name that gradually morphed into Taimi.[5]
Over time, Taimi continued to evolve in two ways: expanding into other countries, and expanding its reach to the LGBTQ+ community, so that, by 2022, it was fully inclusive of the entire queer community[6][7][8][9]
In November 2020 the app underwent a full redesign, incorporating a new logo, new branding, and an upgraded app interface.[10]
As of 2024, there are 25 million+ registered users of Taimi worldwide. Pasykov states that he is an ally of the LGBTQ+ community and that he is focused on, among other things, partnering with NGOs to fight Homophobia and "regressive policies and laws' ' that negatively impact the community.[11][12][13]
Users register on the app and complete a profile/bio, including personal information and preferences for compatibility, dating style, and relationship goals. A sophisticated algorithm then finds and presents recommendations that a user accepts or rejects. Users are then free to chat via text or video with people they've connected with.[14][15][16]
Safety and security features include a two-step authentication process and an automated account verification along with a clear reporting system when breaches or policy violations occur. User responses to new features and policies drive changes and modifications that are made to all aspects of the site.[17][18][19]
