How it works

Three steps. Zero pressure.

  1. 01

    Claim your link

    Pick kenali.app/you, add a short bio and a couple of questions you'd love answered.

  2. 02

    Share it anywhere

    Your IG story, WhatsApp status, or just with the people you're curious about.

  3. 03

    Reply if it feels right

    Introductions land in your inbox. Reply and a private two-way conversation begins.

Not another anonymous inbox

Conversations go both ways.

On other apps, you answer in public and that's the end of it. On Kenali, your reply opens a private thread just between the two of you, and an anonymous sender stays anonymous until they choose otherwise.

  • ✓Each anonymous sender gets a gentle alias, like “Quiet Jasmine”
  • ✓Nobody sees your email, number, or account
  • ✓Senders can't message again until you reply

Quiet Jasmine

Anonymous · only to you

Salam! A friend shared your link. I loved your answer about learning to bake bread — I'm hopeless in the kitchen 😅

Safety & privacy

Respect isn't a feature. It's the floor.

Checked before delivery

Every message is screened in English and Malay, slang and creative spellings included. Harmful messages never arrive.

Anonymous, not lawless

Senders can hide their name from you, but not from our safety systems. Rate limits and blocks follow abuse.

Encrypted & private

Messages are encrypted before they're stored. Only the two of you can open them in the app. Emails, numbers and account details are never shown.

Adults only

Kenali is for people aged 18 and over. Accounts reported as underage are suspended straight away.

Photos cost a little. On purpose.

Words are free, always. Sharing photos takes a small paid credit, which shows you mean it and keeps spam out. Photos only arrive if the receiver allows them, always blurred until they tap to view, and receiving one never costs a thing.
