## What is Brief?

brief is a text-only social app built around one simple rule: you only get one chance a day.

every day, you receive one random notification. you’ve got 5 minutes to post a short thought.
post in time → the feed unlocks.
miss it → the feed stays blurred.

no perfect captions. no “best time to post.” no algorithm deciding what you see. just real thoughts, once a day.

how it works

one daily prompt (random time)

5-minute timer to post a text brief

post to unlock the feed for the day

build a streak by showing up consistently

what you can do on brief

post short, text-only thoughts 

react with expressive emojis

reply in real threads (and @mention friends)

follow people you like and switch between latest + following

explore what’s trending through words + topics

share your brief as a clean story card to instagram (and anywhere)
