Frequently asked questions
About Onyi & the gift
What exactly is Onyi?
Onyi is a digital platform that allows you to create a complete & multi-sensory gift package. Instead of a single text, you send a customized link containing your voice, memories, music, and a note, delivered perfectly on time.
What kind of content can I include in an Onyi gift?
You can combine up to six elements into one gift package:
- Note: A standard text message.
- Voice Note: A personal recorded audio message.
- Moments: Photos.
- Music Playlist: A link to a playlist on your favorite streaming service (e.g., Spotify, Apple Music).
- Date: The specific date for something that matters most to you.
- Ask Question: An interactive question for the recipient to answer.
Can I send money or a gift card through Onyi?
Currently, Onyi is focused on delivering emotional value and personalized media. We are not currently supporting cash transfers or gift card purchases, but we are always working on expanding the items on our gifting feature.
Delivery & scheduling
How far in advance can I schedule an Onyi gift?
You can’t schedule a gift for delivery for now, but we are working on it.
How does the recipient receive the gift?
The gift is delivered via a unique, secure link sent to the recipient’s email address. They simply tap the link to open their personalized page.
What happens if the recipient doesn’t open the gift right away?
The Onyi gift page remains active indefinitely (it becomes a digital keepsake!). They can open it anytime, and the content (Note, Moments, Voice Note) will be waiting for them.
Premium features & pricing
Is Onyi free to use?
Yes! The core service — creating and sending a standard Onyi gift — is free. The free version includes all attachment features but displays a small Onyi watermark on the recipient’s page.
How do I send a gift anonymously?
You can purchase the Anonymous Gifting premium feature when setting up your gift. We will hide your name from the recipient’s intro screen ("Hi [Receiver], this gift was curated by A Mystery Sender").
What are the benefits of Watermark Removal?
When you purchase Watermark Removal, your recipient’s gift page will be completely free of Onyi branding, making the experience look even more bespoke and tailored for them.
Do you offer refunds for premium features?
Due to the instant nature of digital service consumption, all payments for Premium Features (Anonymous Sending, Watermark Removal) are generally non-refundable once the gift is sent. However, we offer full refunds if a technical error on our part causes the feature to malfunction (e.g., your name was revealed despite paying for anonymity). Please refer to our full Refund Policy for details.
Troubleshooting & support
My photo upload keeps failing. What should I do?
We currently recommend keeping individual file sizes below 4 MB (for photos) for a smooth experience. Large files may fail to upload, especially on slower connections.
How long are my Voice Notes?
You can record Voice Notes up to 2 minutes in length.
