grindr-always-online

Rust script that keeps a Grindr account always "online" by sending a GET /v4/cascade request at random intervals (2–10 min apart). Automatically changes location by ~5m each request to improve grid rankings. Powered by grindr.rs.

Configure

  1. Clone the repository or download a release from Forgejo releases.
  2. Set your credentials
# Google OAuth not supported
export GRINDR_EMAIL="m@example.com"
export GRINDR_PASSWORD="yourpassword"

# https://geohash.softeng.co/, must be 12 characters
export GRINDR_GEOHASH=""

export GRINDR_DATA_DIR="/var/lib/grindr-always-online"

Or put them into .env and load:

set -a; source .env; set +a

Or use systemd's EnvironmentFile=:

Run

cargo run --release          # loop forever at random intervals
cargo run --release -- once  # fire a single request and exit

The login session and device identity are cached in session.json and device.json in the data directory, so it only logs in on the first run.
