## What is Dopamine?

dopamine is a calm, private place to stay close with the friends and family you actually know.

No public feed. No recommendations. No endless scroll. You see the people you have connected with, and no one else. Open it, catch up on what your people shared, and get back to your life.

- Share photos and short updates with just your circle
- Post stories that disappear after 24 hours
- Comment, react, and message the people you love
- Connect only with people you invite or who invite you, never strangers
- No ads. We never sell your data or track you across the internet.

dopamine is built on one idea: technology should help you feel closer to the people who matter, then get out of your way. It is everything the big social apps pretend to be, without the parts designed to keep you scrolling.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-25

Posting is more reliable. Your post is kept safe if the app closes while it is still uploading, and it picks up where it left off. If something does go wrong, you are told instead of left guessing, and one tap sends it again.

Photos upload and load much faster.

You can now ask a friend for an update. They get a notification saying you would like to hear from them.

### 1.0 — 2026-06-25

No release notes.
