Coffee on Rizal Avenue. Dinner by the baywalk. A table at the Palacio. You meet people here as friends, for work, or on a date, and you pick which.

From Kevin

Kevin, who built this.

I'm Kevin, one of the founding members and hosts of the Co-Working Club at the Palacio: freelancers, solo devs and small teams who build websites, apps and platforms for businesses.

Together with the Palacio we host nights where people actually meet. Some come for friendship, some to widen their circle, some for a date, and some to find the people who can build what their business needs.

The nights make it real. Clicked keeps it going between them: what's on, who you met, and where you fit.

The idea came from all of us. I built it. It's one of the things our club makes, and trust here starts the way it should, face to face.

We're starting in Puerto Princesa. If it works here, it grows to the rest of Palawan, then anywhere people want a wider circle, a better business life, and, if they're single, someone to share it with.

    Collaboration

How it works

  1. Create a profile
  2. A person checks your face by hand
  3. Invite someone, or be introduced
  4. You are clicked only if both say yes

Coming up

    Safety

    Real people only. No bots, no robots, no made-up profiles, no catfishing, no scams. A face that is not this person is removed.

    A person checks every face. That confirms the face, not intentions. Block and report are one tap away.

    Adults only. A person checks every face before anybody can be seen or seated, a decline is silent, and a report is read by a person. You can take your account and everything in it away at any time.

    Questions

    Is this a dating app?
    No. Clicked is for meeting people in Puerto Princesa, as friends, for work, or on a date. Dating is one of three lanes and it stays off until you turn it on.
    Do I have to date?
    No. Plenty of people are here for company or for work and never turn dating on. Friendship is a complete outcome, not a consolation for not finding a partner.
    How do you stop fake photos?
    A person checks every face by hand, comparing a photograph with a selfie, before that member can be seen or seated at a night. A face that is not that person is removed, and any member can report one.
    Who sees my photo?
    Members who are signed in, and the reviewer who checks it. It is not public, search engines are told not to index it, and it is never sold or passed to an advertiser.
    Is it only Puerto Princesa?
    For now, yes. Puerto Princesa is the first city and the only one with members, tables and nights. Another city starts when enough people there make it worth opening.
