Hello Rodinhoods 🙂
We’ve been working on this app for the last few months, and we’re extremely glad to share our work with all of you.
Well, in a nutshell, Cloakd is an android app that lets its users send anonymous messages to their Facebook friends. Thus opening the doors to endless possibilities where honesty is the only medium.
We’re a team of 4 entrepreneurs based in Delhi, who’ve known each other for almost a decade and have wanted to collaborate and create for as long.
Being honest is a great way to help people improve, yet in the real world, it’s not used as often as it probably should be. That has more to do with how we put more emphasis on the messenger than the message. So, we wanted to build a platform where people can unmask their real thoughts without the hesitancy that revealing their identity brings. We believe anonymity is a great power if used in the right way.
While anonymity has been the buzz word for the past few months, we’d like to believe that Cloakd is positioned in a slightly different space. Cloakd works in a way that it lets you chat directly (& privately) with your Facebook friends without revealing your identity. A lot of the other apps based on anonymity are more of sharing your thoughts anonymously in a public space (more like your Facebook wall thus making it very easy for people to defame others in public).
Here are a few screenshots depicting some of the features.
So, what happens when you send a Cloakd message to a friend?
Well, if they’re a Cloakd app user, they receive the anonymous message immediately.
However, if they do not have Cloakd installed on their phone, they’ll get an email notification about an anonymous message that they have received from “someone in their friend list” on Cloakd. And they’ll be able to read the anonymous message as soon as they install the app.
There’s also the Credit system that helps in creating a balance between sending and receiving of new anonymous messages, in creating a chain reaction and discouraging any kind of abuse through the block feature and consequent loss of credits.
We’d love to read your feedback and suggestions.
Hope you guys like it.
Cloakd has also managed to get featured on Yahoo! News and NextBigWhat quite recently.
