# Meet the child, not the profile.

Every dating app shows you the same thing: a stranger's highlight reel. Bean shows you something no one has seen — the family you two could start.

## How it works

1. **Show us your face** — Add two or three honest photos — the face your friends know, not your best angle. Bean only works if the parents are real.
2. **We imagine your bean** — When someone compatible appears, our AI blends your two faces into one child — at birth, at two, at five.
3. **Swipe on the future** — A few real choices a day, not an endless scroll. If you both say yes to the same little face, you match.

## Imagined, not predicted.

The previews are an artistic guess, not genetics — no AI knows what your child would look like. What they give you is the flutter of seeing a possible future instead of a bio. A spark, not a promise.

## Your face stays yours.

- Your photos are never public. They're shown only to people Bean pairs you with.
- Child previews are only ever seen by the two people they belong to.
- Delete your account and your photos and previews go with it.
- Our AI provider processes photos under a data agreement and doesn't train on them.

## Three real choices a day.

Bean is free: three swipes a day, chosen carefully. Bean Plus adds ten more for $3.99 a month. Cancel anytime.
