§ 01 · Why Naksh

Three things every other dating app got wrong.

We rebuilt the premise. Less swiping, more signal. Less noise, more chart. Less salesmanship, more siddhānta.

01 · Compatibility

Computed from your birth chart — not your vibes.

Other apps guess from photos and a four-word bio. Naksh runs Ashta Koota Milan against every potential match — the same eight-dimensional reading priests have used for a thousand years — and shows you the result before either of you say hello.

02 · Curation

A few picks daily. The feed is closed by design.

There is no infinite scroll. Every morning we draw a small set of profiles — usually three to seven — and they're gone by midnight. You read them properly. You decide once. You move on with the rest of your day.

03 · Intentions

Built for people who want to be found, not browsed.

Every member is photo-and-ID verified. Profiles can't be shallow because they aren't — your chart, your prompts, your family context all sit on top. Naksh is for the ones who came here once, with intention.

§ 02 · How it works

Four steps. Roughly seven minutes.

From the first screen to your first day of picks. We do the math; you do the meeting.

01 · Cast your chart

Date, time & place of birth.

We compute your rāshi, nakshatra, and ascendant from your three coordinates. If you don't know your birth time, a rough one is enough — we'll flag what we couldn't read precisely.

02 · Tell us who you are

Photos, prompts, profession.

Six photos. Three prompts in your own voice. Your gotra and family context, if you want to share them. ID verification before your profile goes live.

03 · Receive your picks

A short set, every morning.

Each pick comes with its 36-point Guna Milan score and a breakdown of all eight kootas. You see the math behind the match — and the human behind the math.

04 · Meet, properly

Match. Chat. Step into the room.

When two people both say yes, the moment is marked with a śubh milan. Chats are private, reportable, and free of read receipts unless you both opt in.

§ 03 · Ashta Koota Milan

Eight dimensions. Thirty-six points. One reading.

The traditional eightfold compatibility reading, faithfully implemented. Each koota measures a different layer of fit — mind, body, energy, lineage.

1
01 · Varna

Varna वर्ण

Spiritual development. The temperament you bring to the marriage — and whether they meet yours where you stand.

2
02 · Vashya

Vashya वश्य

Mutual attraction and ease of influence. How readily two people draw each other in, and how power flows between them.

3
03 · Tara

Tara तारा

Destiny and birth-star compatibility. Whether your nakshatras carry one another through the years rather than against them.

4
04 · Yoni

Yoni योनि

Physical and sexual compatibility. The animal energies of your respective nakshatras — and how they meet in private.

5
05 · Graha Maitri

Maitri मैत्री

Intellectual and emotional friendship. The lords of your moon signs — do they sit easily together, or do they argue?

6
06 · Gana

Gana गण

Temperament class — deva, manushya, rakshasa. The base wavelength of your nature, and whether it harmonises with theirs.

7
07 · Bhakoot

Bhakoot भकूट

Family welfare, finances, longevity of the union. The long-arc indicator: where does this marriage stand in twenty years?

8
08 · Nadi

Nadi नाड़ी

Genetic and health compatibility. The deepest reading — the one most worth knowing before a household is built.

The result

A single 36-point score, with every koota broken out, every placement shown — never a black box.

Most apps reduce a person to a percentage. Naksh shows you the eight numbers behind the number, and explains — in plain English — why your Maitri is what it is, and where your Bhakoot could pull you apart.

§ 04 · The philosophy

A dating app should leave you with more time, not less.

Naksh is engineered around a refusal: the refusal that romance should be a slot machine. The chart was always there. We just put it where you can read it.

  • No infinite feed
    A small, deliberate set of picks every morning. Read them properly, or read them tomorrow.
  • No black-box scores
    Every match shows its working. Every koota links to the placement that produced it.
  • No anonymous swiping
    Photo and government-ID verification before any profile goes live. Reportable, removable, accountable.
  • No dark patterns
    No streaks, no badges, no boosts pushing you to open the app on the toilet. Open it once a day. Close it.
§ 06 · Trust & safety

A small app, taken seriously.

Marriage-minded people deserve a product that behaves like one. Here's what we do, and don't do.

  • Photo & government-ID verification

    Every profile passes a live-pose photo verification and a government-issued ID check before going public. Catfishing is structurally hard here.

  • One profile per person, per device

    Phone-number and device-fingerprint binding. Re-creating a banned account is a meaningful obstacle, not a quick logout.

  • Report flow with safety helpline

    A real reporting flow connected to India-specific safety partners. Reports are reviewed by humans, not just a queue.

  • End-to-end encrypted chats

    Your conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest. We don't read them. We don't sell them. We don't train on them.

  • Take a break, anytime

    Pause your profile in two taps. You stay matched with people you've already met. You disappear from picks until you're ready.

§ 07 · Frequently asked

Things people ask us, honestly.

If you don't see your question, write to hello@trynaksh.com — we read every one.

Do I need to believe in astrology to use Naksh?
No. Plenty of people on Naksh treat Guna Milan as a cultural lens rather than a literal one, and that's fine. The eight kootas still produce a useful framing — temperament, friendship, sexual compatibility, long-arc stability — that's hard to surface from photos alone. Treat the score as one signal among many.
Is Naksh only for Hindus?
No. Anyone with a date and place of birth has a chart that can be read in this framework — we don't ask about religion or restrict by it. We're explicit that the underlying tradition is Vedic, because that's honest, and we think it's interesting whether or not it's yours.
What if I don't know my exact birth time?
A rough time still gives us most of what we need. We'll flag the parts of your chart we couldn't read precisely (your ascendant in particular is sensitive to birth time), and the Guna Milan score will note the uncertainty. You can always update it later if you find your records.
How is the 36-point score computed?
Faithfully to the traditional Ashta Koota Milan. Eight kootas, weighted as: Varna (1), Vashya (2), Tara (3), Yoni (4), Maitri (5), Gana (6), Bhakoot (7), Nadi (8). Every match shows the underlying placement so you can see exactly why your score is what it is — we don't hide the math.
When is Android launching?
We're a small team and chose to build the iOS version end-to-end first. Android is on the roadmap and the waitlist is open — drop your email and we'll write to you the morning it goes live.
Is Naksh free?
Yes. The core app — your chart, your daily picks, your Guna Milan scores, your conversations — is free, and will remain so. A small premium tier unlocks deeper filters and a few quality-of-life touches; it isn't required to meet anyone.
What happens to my data?
Your chart inputs and conversations are encrypted, stored in India, and never sold. We don't train models on your data and we don't allow third-party tracking. The full account of what we collect and why is in our Privacy Policy.
How do I delete my account?
From You · Settings · Account · Delete, two taps. Your profile is removed from picks immediately and your data is purged within 30 days. We keep a minimal anonymised record only where required by law (e.g. reports under investigation).
