Keep talking without giving up your contact
Met someone online? Keep talking privately until you know who they really are, then share your contact.
Keep your number to yourself
You don’t have to give a stranger your number just to keep talking. Use a handle instead, and share your contact when you decide you’re ready.
Stop paying to talk
You shouldn’t have to count every message. KES 200 a month lets you talk to as many people as you want, for as long as you want. No credits. No per-message charges.
Know who you’re talking to
You don’t have to choose between knowing nothing and knowing everything. See things like their age, gender or location if it’s been verified, then decide what you’re comfortable sharing.
You can be strangers and still know something about each other
You don’t need someone’s phone number to know they’re real. And you don’t need to reveal your identity just to earn their trust. uhmmly gives you a middle ground: keep your identity private while getting real assurance about the person on the other side.
Talk first. Verify. Decide what comes next.
Wherever you met them
Facebook, a marketplace, a forum, a paid app. If you want to keep talking to a stranger without handing over your number, uhmmly is where you take it.
Move it off the meter
You clicked with someone, but every message there costs. Trade a word, carry on in uhmmly, and check they’re a live, verified person before you ever swap contacts.
Is the landlord even real?
Someone’s messaging you about a house or room they’re renting out. Before you agree to view it or send a deposit, you want to know it’s a real person, not a fake listing. With uhmmly you can confirm they’re a live human and actually at the property.
Deal with a real buyer, not a bot
Selling to a stranger who found your listing? Talk in uhmmly first. You see a verified live human, not a scammer or an automated account, before you agree to meet or pay.
So how do you find each other?
You don’t swap a phone number, and there’s no username to look up. You just need a way for the two of you to recognise each other here, so uhmmly gives you a word.
Pick a handle
Choose a username. That’s all anyone sees, never your name or number.

Wherever you’re chatting, send them a word to type into uhmmly. Either one uhmmly gives you, or one you agree between you. Either way, it connects you.
otterTalk, no meter
Message and share media as much as you like. The word expires in a few minutes; once you’re connected, the conversation stays open.
↺ word expiresOne word, from the app
uhmmly hands you a word that’s live for a few minutes. Say it to the stranger wherever you’re chatting; they enter it in their uhmmly. Just text, nothing for a platform to notice or block.
you send it wherever you met → “join me on uhmmly, code: otter”
they enter otter → connected
You say one, they say one
No app-issued code at all. You each pick a word and agree the pair between you. The combination is what connects you, and it’s only yours for a short window, so common words never lock anyone out.
them: “and I’m nice”
both enter monday+nice → connected
