HandsApp

About Us

HandsApp was founded in 2020 by college friends Diego and Marco, who were inspired to create a complete and inclusive Sign Language learning environment during the COVID-19 lockdowns. In 2026, Diego completely revamped and relaunched HandsApp as an independent, free platform to continue serving the deaf community.

Our Mission
