The official Amino website was aminoapps.com: and it no longer works as a website. You cannot sign in, browse communities, read posts, or send messages there. The web client and the mobile apps shared one backend, and when that stopped answering, both stopped working. There is no separate web version that survived.
| Official address | aminoapps.com |
|---|---|
| Web app working | No, since 19 December 2025 |
| Mobile apps | Removed from the App Store and Google Play |
| Separate web-only version | Never existed, web and mobile shared one backend |
| Official replacement site | None announced |
| Where communities went | Aminoka, Discord, Reddit, Tumblr |
If you typed “aminoapps website” you almost certainly wanted one of two things: to get to Amino, or to find out whether getting to Amino is still possible. The second answer is the one that applies now, and this page covers what you'll actually see, why it looks the way it does, and what the realistic options are.
What you'll see if you visit
The address you're looking for is aminoapps.com. What loads there is not the product. There's no working sign-in, no community browser, no feed, no way to post or message. Depending on when you look you may see branding, a holding page, or something close to a blank response, none of which is a functioning site.
The most common confusion is thinking this is a temporary outage. It isn't, and the distinguishing feature is that nothing has changed for a long time. A real outage produces a stream of complaints for a few hours and then stops. This produces the same result every day. If you want to check that yourself rather than take our word for it, we walk through it in is aminoapps down.
Why there's no web version to fall back on
People reasonably assume that if the app is gone, the website might still work, plenty of platforms keep a browser client alive after retiring mobile apps. Amino wasn't built that way.
The web experience at aminoapps.com and the iOS and Android apps were front ends onto one backend. The site rendered the same communities, the same profiles and the same posts by asking the same servers. That architecture is entirely normal and it has one consequence here: there was never a separate web product that could outlive the mobile one. When the backend stopped answering, both surfaces stopped working within the same moment.
The same logic kills the workarounds people try. An old APK won't help, we go through why in the Amino APK question. Neither will an old install that still opens on your phone; opening is not the same as working.
Want a community site that actually loads: Open Aminoka.
What the site used to do, and where each piece lives now
It's worth being specific about what you've lost, because different pieces have very different replacements.
| What aminoapps.com did | Status | Closest replacement now |
|---|---|---|
| Browse and join public communities | Gone | Aminoka, same public-community model |
| Member profiles, levels, titles | Gone | Aminoka, profiles and leveling carried over |
| Community leader / curator hierarchy | Gone | Aminoka, leaders and curators |
| Public posts, blogs, wikis, polls | Gone | Aminoka, or Reddit for thread-shaped communities |
| Chatrooms | Gone | Aminoka chatrooms, or Discord for chat-first groups |
| Direct messages | Gone, unrecoverable | Any of the above |
x.aminoapps.com community links | No longer resolve | See the domain explainer |
The honest summary: structure-heavy communities, the ones that used profiles, levels, wikis and a leader hierarchy, have the closest match in a like-for-like Amino replacement. Chat-first groups are usually happier on Discord. Communities that were really a forum are usually happier on Reddit. Our ranked comparison works through the trade-offs properly.
Sites claiming to be the new Amino
No official successor has been announced. That vacuum gets filled quickly, and some of what fills it is dangerous rather than merely wrong.
The pattern to watch for is any site that offers to restore your old account, recover your communities, or log you in with your Amino credentials. None of that is technically possible. There is no live service left to check a password against. A page that appears to accept your old login is recording it, not verifying it. If you've already done this, change that password everywhere else you used it.
Legitimate replacements, including ours, ask you to make a new account. That's not a limitation they're apologising for; it's the only honest option available.
If you're trying to recover something specific
Different goals have genuinely different answers, and it's worth going straight to the right one:
- Old posts, wikis or public content: web archives are the only avenue, and coverage is patchy. What survives in the archives.
- Your account: why recovery isn't possible, and what to do instead.
- People you knew: finding old Amino friends is mostly a username-search problem, and it works more often than people expect.
- Your community: the migration guide, including what to say and where to say it.
The short version
aminoapps.com was the Amino website, it no longer functions as one, and there is no browser-based version of Amino that survived the mobile apps. Nothing you can do from your side changes that. What is worth your time is deciding where your community goes next, and telling the people in it. That decision is the only part of this you still control.
Frequently asked questions
What is the official Amino website?
aminoapps.com. It was the web home of the Amino app and the host for every community's subdomain link. It no longer operates as a functioning website.
Can I use Amino in a browser instead of the app?
No. Amino's web client was never a separate product. It ran against the same backend as the mobile apps. With that backend gone, browsing to the site doesn't give you a working alternative to the app, because there is no working app either.
Is there a new official Amino website?
No official successor site has been announced by the platform's owners. Any site claiming to be the new official Amino is not, and should be treated with suspicion, particularly if it asks you to sign in with your old credentials.
Why does the website load but nothing works?
The domain still resolves and can serve a page. Serving a page and running an application are different things: everything interactive on Amino, login, feeds, communities, chat, required a backend that no longer responds. You get the shell without the product.
Where can I read old Amino posts?
Only whatever public web archives captured before the shutdown, and coverage is thin and uneven. Chats, direct messages and private community content were never crawlable and are not recoverable. See our archive guide for what realistically survives.
