Why Naksh

Three reasons Naksh isn’t like the others.

A matrimonial app, taken back to basics. Compatibility from the chart. Quantity replaced by quality. The profile, read before the face.

01 · Compatibility

From your Janam Kundli. Not your vibes.

Other apps guess from photos and a four-word bio. Naksh runs Ashtakoot Milan against every potential match, the same eight-dimensional reading priests have used for a thousand years, and shows you the 36-point result before either of you say hello.

02 · Curation

Five a day. Not five hundred.

There is no infinite scroll. Every morning Naksh draws up to five Vedic-compatible introductions, five not fifty, and never padded with weak matches to fill the day. You read them properly. You decide once. You move on with the rest of your day.

03 · Compatibility before photos

The chart, before the face.

Detailed photos are revealed only after you read the full compatibility analysis and the rest of the profile. The chart, the prompts, the community, the family context, all of it sits open before any face appears. The profile is the introduction. The photo is the confirmation.

How it works

Four steps. Roughly seven minutes.

From the first screen to your first day of introductions. We do the math, you do the meeting.

01 · Draw your Janam Kundli

Date, time & place of birth.

Naksh computes your rāshi, nakshatra, and ascendant from your three coordinates. If you don’t know your birth time, a rough one is enough. The parts of your chart that couldn’t be read precisely are flagged honestly.

02 · Build your profile

Photos, prompts, family.

Up to six photos. Three prompts in your own voice. Community, language, region, and family context. Photo and government-ID verification are optional, and verified profiles carry a visible badge.

03 · Receive your five

Five intros, every morning.

Five Vedic-compatible introductions a day. Each one comes with its 36-point Ashtakoot score and a breakdown of all eight kootas. You see the math, then the rest of the profile, then the photos.

04 · Meet, properly

Match. Chat. Śubh milan.

When two people both say yes, the moment is marked. Chats are private and reportable. Detailed photos are revealed once you have read the chart and the profile, never before.

Ashtakoot Milan

Eight kootas. Thirty-six points. One reading.

The traditional eightfold reading, computed in full. Each koota measures a different layer of fit: mind, body, energy, lineage.

1
01 · Varna

Varna वर्ण

Spiritual disposition. 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

Wellbeing and nakshatra fit. Whether your nakshatras carry one another through the years rather than against them.

4
04 · Yoni

Yoni योनि

Instinctive temperament. The animal energies of your respective nakshatras, and how they meet in private life.

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.

The philosophy

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

Naksh is built around one stubborn idea: finding a life partner should not feel like a slot machine. The chart was always there. We just put it where you can read it.

  • No infinite feed
    Up to five Vedic-compatible introductions every morning, sometimes fewer, never padded. 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.
  • Compatibility before photos
    Detailed photos are revealed once you have read the chart and the rest of the profile. The chart is the introduction.
  • No dark patterns
    No streaks, no badges, no boosts pulling you back to the app. Open it once a day. Close it.
Trust & safety

A small app, taken seriously.

A serious thing, built carefully. Here is what we do, and what we refuse to do.

  • Photo & government-ID verification

    Photo verification matches a live selfie against your profile photos on your device, and we keep only the pass-or-fail result, never the selfie or any face data. Government-ID verification, by PAN, licence, voter ID or passport, never Aadhaar, is face-matched and the ID image deleted within 48 hours. Verified profiles carry a visible badge. Verification is encouraged, never required to browse, match, or message.

  • No unsolicited messages, ever

    A conversation can only begin after both people have read the chart and mutually revealed their photos. No one can message you out of the blue, no one can pay to reach you, and the five-a-day cap means no one is ever flooded.

  • One profile per person, per device

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

  • Reports reviewed by a human safety team

    A real reporting flow. Every report is reviewed by a human within 24 hours, not by an automated queue.

  • Encrypted chats, never sold

    Conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest. We don’t sell your data, and we don’t use it for ad targeting.

  • Take a break, anytime

    Pause your profile in two taps. You stay matched with people you have already met. You disappear from intros until you are ready.

  • Full account deletion, two taps

    Account deletion lives inside the app. Two taps and your data is fully purged within 30 days. The web option lives at trynaksh.com/delete-account.

Frequently asked

Things people ask us, honestly.

If you don’t see your question, write to hello@trynaksh.com. We read every one.

Is Naksh a dating app?
No, and it isn’t an astrology app either. Naksh is a Vedic matrimonial app, built for people looking for a life partner. There is no swipe deck, no infinite feed, and no left/right gesture. You receive up to five Vedic-compatible introductions a day and read each one properly, the chart and the profile, before any face appears.
Do I need to believe in astrology to use Naksh?
No. Plenty of people on Naksh treat Ashtakoot Milan as a cultural lens rather than a literal one, and that is fine. The eight kootas still produce a useful framing, temperament, friendship, instinct, long-arc stability, that is hard to surface from photos alone. Treat the score as one signal among many. And to be clear: Naksh carries no horoscopes, no predictions, no lucky numbers, and no remedies anywhere, the chart is computed for one purpose only, to measure how two people fit.
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 are explicit that the underlying tradition is Vedic, because that is honest, and we think it is interesting whether or not it is yours.
Is Naksh free?
Yes. Version 1 is completely free, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no paywalled compatibility detail, and no paid boosts. The daily five is never something you pay to expand. If we ever introduce paid features, it will be much later and only for added depth, never to buy access, visibility, or a bigger deck.
What if I don’t know my exact birth time?
A rough time still gives us most of what we need. The parts of your chart that couldn’t be read precisely will be flagged (your ascendant in particular is sensitive to birth time), and the Ashtakoot 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 Ashtakoot 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 placements so you can see exactly why your score is what it is. The math is never hidden.
Do you have caste filters?
No. Naksh offers religion, community (ethno-linguistic, regional, or sect-based), language, and region preferences. We do not offer caste or varna filters.
What does “compatibility before photos” mean?
Detailed photos of a match are revealed only after you read the full Ashtakoot analysis and the rest of the profile. The chart and the profile lead. Faces follow. This is structural, not optional: there is no swipe-card stack and no "It’s a Match!" animation anywhere in the product.
When is Android launching?
We are 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 will write to you the morning it goes live.
What happens to my data?
Your Janam Kundli inputs and your conversations are encrypted at rest, stored in India, and never sold. We don’t run advertising tracking, we don’t train AI on your data, and we don’t share it with advertisers. The full account of what we collect and why lives in our Privacy Policy.
How do I delete my account?
Inside the app: You, Settings, Account, Delete. Two taps. Your profile is removed from intros immediately and your data is fully purged within 30 days. The same flow is available from the web at trynaksh.com/delete-account. We keep a minimal anonymised record only where required by law, for example reports under investigation.
