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

The Klaesi build, screen by screen.

01 · Welcome and entry

An entrance that sets the tone

The first screen leads with the Klaesi rose on a deep dark canvas, a clear promise about intentional dating, and a single tap to get started.
