About ONIM
A city platform that brings together everything you need to buy, sell, move, and connect in your city.
Built by the people, for the people.
One platform for your whole city
ONIM is a city platform that combines a marketplace, transport planning, live community signals, an interactive map, rides, messaging, events, and more — all in one place.
Instead of switching between apps to sell something, find a trotro route, check if a bus is full, or message a seller, ONIM puts it all together. It works because the community powers it — riders share signals, sellers list for free, and local knowledge gets added every day.
City Platform
Marketplace + Transport + Map + Rides + Community — one login, one platform, zero fees.
African cities deserve better digital infrastructure
In most African cities, daily life is fragmented across dozens of tools — or no tools at all. You use one app to buy things, another for transport, WhatsApp for messaging sellers, and word of mouth for everything else.
The transport gap
Trotros, minibuses, and shared taxis carry millions daily but have no digital presence. No schedules, no route maps, no way to know if a vehicle is full or loading.
The marketplace gap
Sellers rely on social media and physical markets. Buyers can't search, filter, or compare. Listings disappear into WhatsApp group chats.
The information gap
Local knowledge about places, services, and conditions lives only in people's heads. There's no shared, searchable record.
ONIM closes these gaps
One platform that handles buying and selling, getting around, finding places, and connecting with people. No switching between apps.
What makes ONIM different
ONIM isn't imported from cities with metro systems. It's built for the way African cities actually work.
Community-powered
Riders share live signals, users add local knowledge, sellers list products. The platform gets better as more people use it.
Built for informal transport
Trotros don't run on timetables. ONIM uses community signals, not fixed schedules, to tell you what's happening now.
Affordable
Low subscription fees, no hidden costs. List products, plan routes, send messages — all at prices that make sense.
Works on any phone
Mobile-first design. Works on low-end devices and slow networks. No app download required — it runs in your browser.
