Features

Everything social should have been.

The same product the giants built, without the ads, the tracking, or the algorithm working against you. Here is what you actually get.

The algorithm

A feed that finally answers to you.

Say what you want in plain English, or nudge a few dials. Your ranking rewrites in seconds. It is the algorithm itself changing, not a filter sitting on top of it.

Transparency

Every post tells you why.

Each post can show the reason it reached you. Disagree with it? One tap and it is gone. The scoring formula is public, and we have no override.

Every answer shows its sources.

Messaging

Conversations that stay yours.

Direct messages are end-to-end encrypted, and voice and video calls run peer-to-peer, so the audio never reaches our servers.

Every way to share.

Threads for long-form, posts for photos and video up to 8K, Shorts with the studio built in, Stories for the moment, and Spaces for your communities. One app, one identity, no second download.

And the things that quietly work against you elsewhere? No ads, no tracking, no data sold. They were never built here in the first place.
