Beta build
Closer, in harmony. Aluta brings your conversations, your calls and your music together — built for the people you love most. Made in Dar es Salaam by Ozilane. It's in beta: new things arrive often, and your feedback (Menu → Send feedback) shapes what comes next.

What Aluta is

A social app where chatting and music happen side by side. Talk one-to-one or in groups, call, post Stories, keep a private Space with your partner or closest friend, and play songs together in sync. It runs on Android, Windows and in the browser (on iPhone, use the web app at aluta.ozilane.com).

What you can do today

Chats & groups

Text, photos, videos, voice notes, files, songs, GIFs, locations and contacts — several at once, to several people. Replies, emoji reactions (with a notification to the author), edit and delete for everyone, pins, polls, @mentions, group admins, and delivered/read ticks. Swipe to reply or forward, search inside chats, reply right from a notification, and schedule a message to arrive at a friend's morning.

Secret hearts

A note that stays hidden until it's opened — with a mood, an optional photo, clip, voice or song, and an "open tonight at 8" timer. You'll know when it's opened, and kept hearts can be replayed.

Our Space for two

A private place for a couple or best friends: pinned moments, a shared playlist, Our Diary, love capsules that unlock later, dedications, a daily question, streaks, and one-tap Listen Together — all visible to both of you.

Music & Listen Together

Play the songs on your device with lock-screen, Bluetooth and car controls, an equalizer, A–B loop, sleep timer, lyrics, groups and smart lists. Listen Together plays a song in sync with a friend or a whole room — the audio goes directly between you. Identify songs around you, see your week in music and what you both love, and share songs to chats.

Calls

Voice calls, one-to-one and in groups, connected directly between devices and never recorded. Answer from Bluetooth headsets and cars like a normal call.

Stories & presence

Photo, video, text and "now playing" Stories that fade after 24 hours. See who's online, set a quick status like "Busy", get told when someone comes online, and see what friends are listening to (they choose who can see it).

Glow

A daily card of quotes, insights and small ideas for staying close — save the ones you like or send them to your partner.

Your account, everywhere

Sign up with email, add a phone number and photo, protect it with two-step verification or Ozilane Key, and link a computer by QR. Your theme, wallpapers, equalizer, pinned chats, song details and listening history follow your account to a new phone. Optional fingerprint/face lock, encrypted local backups, and Save to Gallery for photos and videos you receive.
