## What is 142?

Most apps are built to keep you scrolling. 142 is built to run out.

No ads. No algorithm. Just 142 people who actually matter.

A hard cap of 142 friends. A feed that ends. Your feed, calendar, and messages, finally talking to each other.

THE POINT
•⁠  ⁠No ads. Nothing about you is for sale.
•⁠  ⁠No engagement loops. No infinite scroll.
•⁠  ⁠No profiling. We built the opposite of all of it.

FEED
•⁠  ⁠Your feed runs in order. Newest to oldest, then you're done.
•⁠  ⁠No algorithm deciding what you see. No posts you didn't ask for.
•⁠  ⁠Reach the end and that's it. Nothing pulling you back.

FRIENDS
•⁠  ⁠142 connections. No more, by design.
•⁠  ⁠It's the number a person can actually hold, so everyone here is someone you know.
•⁠  ⁠No followers. No strangers. No performing.

CALENDAR
•⁠  ⁠Invite your people to something, and it lands on their calendar.
•⁠  ⁠Everyone invited gets a heads-up, so plans don't get lost in a chat thread.
•⁠  ⁠Event chats stay open while they matter, then quietly close.

MESSAGES
•⁠  ⁠Talk one to one, or together in a group.
•⁠  ⁠Share a photo, a voice note, a moment.
•⁠  ⁠Only the people you've chosen. Nobody you haven't.

142. The people who matter, and no one else.
