Our heritage
Before the app, there was Dear Mac.
From 2017 to 2023, Dear Mac was a fully hand-run introduction service. Every introduction was considered by a person who took the time to understand both people.
It introduced thousands of people and led to more than 300 documented marriages. Nirvanae carries that same human touch into an app, so the care that made Dear Mac work can reach many more people.

Member stories
In their own words.
Stories shown are illustrative.
I joined for the daily prompts and stayed for the people. Within a month I had a small circle in Lagos that I actually see on weekends.
My Guide noticed something I had never written on my profile: how much my faith and my family shape my plans. The introduction she made felt like it came from a friend who knew me well.
Marc AI introduced me to someone who had also written about building something back home. We have spoken every Sunday for eight months now.
As a Nigerian in Houston, I missed conversations that didn't need translating. The diaspora threads gave me that back.
I used the scrapbook to set goals for the kind of partner I want to be, not only the partner I hope to find. That changed how I show up.
Nobody rushed me. I passed on two suggestions and my Guide simply asked better questions. The third introduction is now my fiancé.
I was with Dear Mac years ago. Finding that same care inside an app, with real people still reviewing every profile, is why I trust it.
It feels like a private members' club rather than a crowded room. People arrive with intention, and you can hear it in the conversations.
I moved to Toronto knowing almost no one. Through a community thread I found friends from three countries who now feel like home.
What I value most is the respect. I reported a rude message once and someone from the team followed up the same day.
