Haven is a private social network for the people who actually matter. No ads. No tracking. No algorithm deciding what you see. No company server holding your memories. Everything you share is end-to-end encrypted with hybrid post-quantum cryptography and travels between your devices over the internet — directly, or through a relay that can't read it — or over Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi when you're together offline. Even we can't read it. • Private circles — share with family and close friends in separate, invite‑only circles, and always see exactly who a post will reach • Posts, photos, videos & stories — with a modern camera, easy captions, and a song • Direct & group messages — with sender names, timestamps, and delivery checks, plus scheduled and screenshot‑protected secret messages • Group voice & video calls — 1:1 and group, with screen sharing, peer‑to‑peer, no call server in the middle • All your devices in sync — start on iPhone, pick up on iPad or Mac; your posts and messages follow you • Disappearing posts — you decide how long things stick around • Nearby sharing — works with no internet at all, phone to phone • Your relay does the heavy lifting — photos and videos go up once to a relay you run and friends fetch them from there, so your phone stays cool; or keep memories on your own S3 bucket • Stays out of your way — big transfers wait while you're on a call, or when your device is hot or in Low Power Mode • No account, no phone number, no email — your identity lives only on your device Haven is a stronghold for the people you love. It's built so that no one — not advertisers, not data brokers, not even the people who made it — can get between you and your circle.
