Photos and short videos with the people you actually know, and nobody else.
You joined social media to see your friends’ and family’s photos. Then the feed filled up with ads, influencers, strangers arguing in the comments, and videos that never end. Apps paid for by advertisers earn more the longer you scroll, so they’re built to keep you there: friends’ posts buried under suggested ones, notifications designed to pull you back, follower and view counts to chase, and controversy and division pushed to the top because they get the most comments. And somewhere along the way, posting anything personal stopped feeling safe.
Introducing people you know. Nothing you post is public, and you choose who sees each post.

What is different
- No followers, so no influencers and no comment farms. Every connection is mutual: you both agree to it. There are no public profiles.
- You choose who sees each post. Everybody you’re connected to, a group you made, or just a few people.
- No strangers in the comments. On a friend’s post, you only see comments from people you also know. In a shared album, everybody in it sees every comment.
- Nothing is ranked or suggested. Your feed is the posts people shared with you, newest first. A line tells you when you’re all caught up.
- Shared albums. For trips, weddings, birthdays and more. Everybody in an album can add photos, and everybody in it sees them. The person who makes an album can invite by email, even somebody who isn’t on the app yet.
- End-to-end encryption, with quantum-safe keys. Your photos, captions, comments and names are encrypted on your phone with keys we never see, built to hold up against quantum computers, so we can’t read them. The privacy policy lists what is encrypted.
- No ads, no tracking, and nothing about you is sold. Settings has export my data and delete my account.
