Klaesi: a dating app built for real connection, not endless swiping

Resourcifi designed and built Klaesi, a native iOS and Android dating app with a dark, elegant interface, intentional matching, and private messaging that helps members move from a match to a real conversation.

The challenge

What Klaesi needed to solve.

Klaesi wanted a dating experience that felt considered and premium rather than a fast feed of faces. The product had to make discovery feel personal, give members clear signals about mutual interest, and keep conversations private and safe, all in one consistent experience across iOS and Android.

Goals
  • Make discovery feel intentional rather than an endless feed
  • Show clear signals of mutual interest and matches
  • Move members from a match to a real conversation quickly
  • Keep messaging and member data private and safe
  • Hold one elegant experience across iOS and Android
The solution

Resourcifi built Klaesi as native iOS and Android apps with a Node.js and AWS backend. The app opens on a curated discovery deck, surfaces who liked you, and turns mutual interest into a private chat. A dark, rose accented interface runs through every flow, from the first profile card to the member's own settings.

What we built
