TimeLeft’s unique approach piqued my curiosity, especially with its focus on algorithms and personality matching. After trying the app during a trip to Bangkok, I was left with some great memories and a few ideas on how TimeLeft could further enhance its user experience.

One week before my trip to Bangkok, I came across TimeLeft in an Instagram story ad. Since I had a free Wednesday evening during my work trip, I decided to download the app and give it a shot.

But first, what’s TimeLeft? TimeLeft, founded by Maxime Barbier, addresses the issue of loneliness by organising dinners for strangers in over 60 countries. Backed by FJ Labs and Kima Ventures andit positions itself as a non-dating app dedicated to fostering new connections.

Purchasing a pass for my first dinner cost around $10 SGD, which included several benefits. I appreciated how convenient it made the process.

On the day of the event, the app sent notifications about the dinner location. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a short walk from my hotel. When I arrived, I joined a table of interesting people who were welcoming and engaged in lively conversation.

This algorithm had paired us based on age and personality, which made for smooth introductions and flowing conversation. One participant even used the app’s game prompts to keep the discussion lively, though we didn’t rely on them much.
