Relationships, intentionally.

Start with yourself. Meet people when you're ready.Kinnect is for Nigerian professionals, singles and couples who want to take relationships seriously, starting with themselves. Open the Community for free, with no account.

Built in Lagos by Ifeanyi Maduka, Kinnect's founder.

When Membership opens, each day will start with one question: How's your weather looking today? Your mood, stormy to clear, and what's behind it.

The app is on its way

To the App Store and Google Play. We'll tell you the day it's out.

We use your address for this one email, then delete it, or after six months if we haven't sent it by then.

There is a Kinnect app on Google Play and we are not linking to it. It is the version we are replacing, and one thing in it is worth saying plainly: its “delete account” option does not delete anything. If you used it, your account is still there, and the delete account page is the way to delete it. The store link comes back with the new app.

The web app at app.kinnectapp.net is being retired and is not linked from here either. If you have it bookmarked, removing the bookmark, like removing an app from your phone, does not delete your account. The delete account page does.

Open the Community, it's free

The nickname screen in the Kinnect app on an iPhone: What should people call you? This is the name other members see. A nickname field, and the rule: no surname, numbers or social handles.
The Community in the app on an Android phone: four rooms, and pieces grouped by how much time you have, About 5 minutes and About 10 minutes.

Knowing what you are looking for, and saying it.

For Him

Showing up well, early and often.

Beginning Again

Starting from where you are, after a relationship ends.

Together

For couples who want to keep choosing each other.

Real helplines are one tap away in the app: on Home, on the Kiki tab and in Account.

A strengths report, as designed for the app: three paragraphs naming what stood out, and Kiki's note, A starting point, not a verdict.
The daily check-in, as designed for the app, on an Android phone: Home greets you in Yorùbá, and a sheet asks, How's your weather looking today?

Introductions

Introductions aren't open yet. When they are, they'll be curated and offered to members who are ready for them: something you grow into, not the door you come in through.

  1. Once a week: the dropUp to three introductions, each with the reasons, written from what you both said.
  2. Seven days: the Talking StageYou'll see each other's nickname. Photos and first names stay hidden until you both choose to show them.
  3. Then you both decideIt goes on only if you both want it to.

Readiness opens this door

Being introduced will take readiness, not payment: your assessment, your deal-breakers and your basics. To start a conversation, one of you will need Member Plus.

Prefer a person?

Concierge will pair you with a human matchmaker, with coach hours alongside.

  • No browsing
  • No grid of faces
A week's introductions, as designed for the app: three side by side, the photo hidden until you both reveal, with the reasons why you two.
