Fora / Tajmaa

Fora is the rebranded evolution of the Tajmaa app, designed to help users forge meaningful offline connections through shared interests, group activities, and emotional well-being. It offers a playful and purposeful alternative to traditional social media by focusing on authentic connections rather than viral content. Key features include Local Experience Discovery, which lets users browse curated events and meetups based on mood, location, and vibe, and a Smart Matching Algorithm that connects like-minded individuals based on interests, energy levels, and conversation preferences. Fora also supports Private Circles & Group Chats for deeper connections and a Mood-Based Social Feed, allowing users to share thoughts or photos tagged with their emotional state, promoting genuine emotional expression. Gaining traction in urban wellness communities and praised by mental health advocates, Fora is especially popular among Gen Z and solo city-dwellers seeking authentic social interactions. Built with a native iOS app using Swift UI and Firebase, it features mood tagging, personalized discovery, encrypted messaging, and in-app notifications for a secure, engaging experience.
