An app built around how people think, not how people look.
Ever get stuck in a convo and feel like you’re talking… but not connecting?
We don’t need better replies. We need better questions.
Ever noticed how most conversations start, but rarely go anywhere? We ask what someone’s doing — not what drives them. We learn facts, not perspectives.
Chatnee is built around the questions people don’t usually ask — the ones that reveal how someone thinks, not how they present themselves. No small talk. No surface answers.
It's all about slowing down and responding with intention. Because real connection doesn’t come from proximity or profiles — it comes from being understood. This isn’t about finding someone. It’s about understanding them, and yourself.
Who are you?
A one-time foundation process — a psychological deep-dive into your values and emotional patterns. You only take it once.
Learn More About Yourself... & Others
You're connected through psychological alignment — not swipes, trends, or distance.
No Going Back Now
Connect with someone through a focused, intentional window — long enough to talk, short enough to stay meaningful. (P.S you can choose to stay longer!)
Appearances Stay Secondary
No profiles. No browsing. Who cares how someone looks like!?! Connect with them and the conversation that follows.
Decide With Clarity
Chatnee isn’t built for hookups — it’s built for emotionally aware, intentional choices.
No Ghosting
Exiting a chat means leaving WHY you left — not disappearing. Closure is built in, this is how we learn!
So, what is Chatnee, in simple terms?
Chatnee is a social app designed to foster genuine human connections through bringing back authentic and meaningful conversations. No more venting to ChatGPT about how you see the world, share this perspective with an actual human instead.
By prioritising depth, honesty, and real communication, Chatnee helps users move beyond small talk and dive deep into what truly matters. We’re not just a app, but a social movement.
Chatnee is built around the questions we actually want to be asked —
the ones that reveal patterns, boundaries, values, and the way someone sees life.
Questions about how Chatnee works
A communication-first app designed to help you practise intentional conversation, build self-awareness, and step outside your comfort zone in a safer, more considered way.
Chatnee is a communication app designed for people who want to practise more intentional, honest conversation. You complete a guided foundation process, are connected with one person at a time, and use structured prompts to explore real topics in a safe, respectful space.
No. Chatnee is intentionally built outside hookup culture. The experience is structured around slower, more considered conversations – not anonymous, disposable interactions. It’s for people who care about how they speak, how they’re spoken to, and how they leave others feeling.
Most platforms start with profiles, photos and endless choice. Chatnee starts with how you think, what you value and how you communicate. Instead of browsing through a feed, you’re connected to one person at a time based on your foundation responses, with space to focus on a single conversation without constant distraction.
Once you’re connected with someone, you have up to three days to start and hold a conversation. Within that window, you can take your time, respond thoughtfully and see how the interaction feels without it dragging on for weeks.
After those three days, you can either choose to keep speaking with the same person, or close the chat, leave feedback, and ask to be reconnected with someone new.
Studies in communication and relationship research show that the first few days of consistent interaction are often where people form their clearest sense of comfort, interest and emotional safety. The 3-day structure is there to support that early clarity.
Chatnee is designed to prioritise what you say and how you say it. That’s why profile photos are hidden at the start of a connection. You begin with words, tone and ideas – the core elements of communication.
After you’ve spent a certain amount of time in conversation, profile photos are revealed. Visuals still matter, but they support the interaction instead of deciding everything before a single sentence has been shared.
No. There’s no swiping, no endless scrolling and no catalogue of faces. Chatnee is intentionally designed to reduce comparison and decision fatigue. You’re connected with one person at a time so you can focus on the quality of the interaction in front of you.
If you decide a conversation isn’t for you, you don’t simply disappear. You close the chat using a simple, guided step and can then request to be reconnected with someone else. You can also leave optional feedback.
It’s not about over-explaining – it’s about basic clarity and respect, so no one is left wondering what happened or why the conversation suddenly ended.
Chatnee is planned to launch in Australia first, with the intention of expanding to additional regions once the experience is stable and feels right for our early community. If you are in another country and find interest in Chatnee, please join the waitlist!
Chatnee has both a free and paid version. Chatnee will run on a simple paid membership so we don’t have to rely on ads or turn your data into the product. Pricing details will be shared closer to launch, and the waitlist will receive early updates and offers.

We created Chatnee Diaries, a series hosted by NeeNee, to help you reflect on how you speak, set boundaries, be vulnerable in healthier ways and practise conversations that feel more honest and grounded.
