Your feed should be your neighborhood.
Circle is a small social app where the people in your feed are people you can actually meet. No algorithm. No ads. No influencers.
What you can do
Six things. That's the whole app.
The feed
Posts from people in your area.
Newest first. No ranking, no “for you” page, nobody from the other side of the planet. Just what's happening around you.
Circles
Local groups with a chat and a shared board.
Book clubs, run clubs, Tuesday volleyball. Join one down the street, or start whatever you want to start.
DMs
Talk to the people you meet.
Message them privately. Send photos, videos, voice notes. Then pick a place and show up.
Your radius
As small or as wide as you want.
Keep your feed to a few kilometers or open it up. You set how far it goes, and you can change it any time.
Verified profiles
Know who's real.
A verified badge means that person passed a selfie check. You know who you're talking to before you meet them.
Your QR
Scan to connect.
Met someone in person? Scan their QR. No usernames to spell out over loud music.
What's missing on purpose
No algorithm.
No feed manipulation. No “for you” page deciding what you see.
No ads.
Ever.
No influencers.
No virality engine. No follower count that matters.
No investors.
No board. Built by one person, funded by no one.
Privacy
You're always in control.
Go invisible.
Turn on privacy mode and nobody can discover you. Turn it off when you feel like it.
Pick who gets closer.
You choose who can see you and who can message you.
Decide how far your posts go.
Your radius is yours to set.
Nothing leaves the app. Nothing gets sold.
Why this exists
I built Circle because I was tired of opening social apps looking for people I could actually meet, and getting ads, influencers, and strangers from the other side of the planet instead.
That's not a bug. It's the business model. The big apps have to take more of your time every year to keep their shareholders happy, and there's no version of that where you win.
So I made the app I wanted to use. No investors. No board. Nothing pushing me to take more of your attention. I'd rather keep Circle small and real than big and evil.
It's early, and it's small. Come be one of the first people here.

Meet people, not content. Circle is new and it's small. Get it, look around, say hi to someone down the street.
