NALUNO
Early access

Call, chat and share your work, without giving out your phone number.

Naluno is one app for private calls and messages, rooms for your people, and a channel for what you create. People find you by a name you choose, called a Callsign.

What it does

Everything you do with your people, in one place.

Most of us use one app to message, another to call, another to post, and a fourth for groups. Naluno puts them together, and asks for a name instead of your number.

Who makes Naluno

Built by a writer.

Naluno is made by E J Magambo, a novelist with four books published on Amazon.

It started from a writer's problem: having somewhere to share your work and talk with the people around it, without handing over a phone number or getting lost in a crowd.

What's new

Getting better every week.

Naluno is in early access. Here is some of what has changed recently.

  1. Calls connect faster and more reliably on mobile data.
  2. On Android, a video call keeps going in a small window when you leave the app.
  3. Writing can be read aloud in Luganda.
  4. Written messages became end-to-end encrypted.
  5. Bands now delete themselves two hours after the last person leaves.
