What is Sarhny?
Sarhny(Arabic: صارحني — “tell me honestly”) is an Arabic anonymous-messaging app connecting over 1.5 million Arabic-speaking usersthrough a honest-communication experience you won't find on any other platform. It combines four tools:
- Anonymous messages — anyone who opens your profile can send you an honest message without you knowing their identity.
- Mirrors — ask one question, share the link, receive anonymous answers organised in one place.
- Three-layer posts — Moment, Face, Mind. Each layer has its own place and rules.
- Crystallization — your post lives 24 hours. If it earns honest engagement, it becomes ✦ permanent. Otherwise, it fades.
Why Sarhny invented a new category
Since the original Sarahah shut down in 2018, Arabic-speaking audiences had no great option. Every alternative was either English with weak translation (NGL), or a poorly maintained Sarahah clone. Sarhny was built from day one as an Arabic-first product: perfect RTL UI, custom Arabic fonts, copy written not translated.
But the differentiation isn't just language. We added features no competitor has: crystallization that lets posts survive only if they deserve it, mirrors that organize answers calmly, and a streak that rewards regularity without addictiveness.

FAQ about Sarhny
What is Sarhny?
Sarhny is an Arabic anonymous-messaging app. It lets you receive honest messages from anyone without revealing their identity, ask group questions (mirrors), and publish posts that crystallize after 24 hours of healthy engagement. Free, on iOS, Android, and web.
Is Sarhny free?
Yes, Sarhny is free to use. You get a daily attention budget (100 points) that refills each morning. The optional Plus subscription expands the budget and unlocks premium features.
Is Sarhny the same as the old Sarahah app?
No. The original Sarahah shut down in 2018. Sarhny is a new platform built on different foundations: original features (crystallization, mirrors, streak), Arabic-first design, an explicit commitment to never selling sender identity, and an active anti-harassment moderation team.
How do I get started on Sarhny?
1) Open sarhny.com or install the app from the App Store or Google Play. 2) Create a free account in one minute. 3) Share your profile link (sarhny.com/username) on Instagram or Snapchat to start receiving messages. 4) Or create a mirror with a focused question and collect honest answers.
Can I find out who sent me an anonymous message?
No. This is a permanent design commitment at Sarhny — we will never ship a 'reveal sender identity' feature, regardless of how profitable it would be, because it breaks the platform's core promise.
Is Sarhny safe for teens?
Sarhny is for ages 13+. We have a round-the-clock anti-harassment team, controls to restrict who can message you (anyone / followers only / disabled), and one-tap deletion for any incoming message. Parental supervision is recommended for users under 16.
