About
Amino Apps was a mobile social networking platform that hosted thousands of niche interest-based communities spanning anime, K-pop, gaming, art, and more, allowing fans worldwide to chat, share content, create wikis, and connect around shared passions. Founded in 2012 and acquired by MediaLab AI in 2021, Amino grew to 13 million app downloads by 2016 before eventually shutting down in December 2025. The platform was distinguished by its community-first architecture, enabling users to create and moderate their own topic-specific spaces on mobile.
