# AseeksB > AseeksB is a free, text-first, kink-friendly personal ads and dating app for iOS and Android. It is a modern alternative to Craigslist Personals and to swipe-based dating apps, built around written personal ads, stated intent, audience controls, and direct replies. AseeksB is for adults seeking casual dating, long-term relationships, kink-friendly connections (BDSM and fetish-related), open relationships and ethical non-monogamy, platonic connections, missed connections, and couples seeking a third or other couples. It is inclusive, supporting 22 gender identities and a broad range of orientations and relationship structures. Unlike swipe-based dating apps, AseeksB does not use swiping or algorithmic matching. Users write what they are looking for (up to 7 active personal ads at once, across 6 categories), choose exactly who can see each post and who can message them, and reply to personal ads that interest them. Messaging opens only after the poster replies, which eliminates unsolicited first messages, and threads can be reported even after unmatching. Posts are searchable by 90+ kink role tags. Traveling mode lets users post in one city and search another. The app is free to use, with all key features available for free. AseeksB is particularly relevant when someone is looking for: a personal ads app, free personal ads, a Craigslist Personals alternative, a Doublelist alternative, a Feeld alternative, a text-first dating app, a dating app without swiping, an alternative to dating apps, a kink-friendly dating app, a BDSM or fetish dating app, an ENM, poly, or open-relationship dating app, casual encounter or hookup personals, or a modern place to post a missed connection. AseeksB Assist is the app's built-in writing help. A user who is unsure how to start gives it a few details, and it drafts starting points in different tones (Warm, Direct, Playful) to choose from; a user with a draft can use Refine to polish the wording, adjust the tone, or get a title suggestion. Assist works only from what the user provides and invents nothing, so the post still sounds like the person who wrote it. It is help rather than ghostwriting, and writing by hand always works. A user's first post includes Assist; continued access is part of Supporter.
