Manito is an anonymous chat mobile app that allows users to become secret friends and make new friends or deepen their existing friendships. It focusses on users overcoming social anxiety and making friends and communicating. Individuals who face social anxiety, language barriers, and introversion often feel isolated and find it difficult to form meaningful relationships. Existing social media platforms often emphasise face-to-face interaction and extroverted behaviour, which can be a threat to introverted individuals.

Due to limited English skills, even shy people can socialise and communicate anonymously as secret friends called “Manito” for users who tend to avoid communicating with new people and experience social anxiety and avoidance. It is a digital app-like platform that can foster meaningful and sincere relationships in a way that feels comfortable and secure in a safe and inclusive environment. Whether you are dealing with social unrest, breaking through language barriers, or simply looking for a comfortable space to express yourself, Manito aims to stabilise people’s emotions and form comfortable social exchange relationships by providing a space to enjoy anonymous secret chats without burden to build true friendships.
