About

Tracea

Features
Read full description

Tracea is a social app built around one simple idea: every thought deserves to be heard by the right person. You leave a trace, a short thought, a question, a take. Someone reads it and writes back, whether they see it your way or not. From there, a real conversation begins. Just the two of you, for 24 hours. No profiles to curate. No follower counts. No endless scrolling. Tracea slows things down on purpose. Each trace appears one at a time, with a timer, in themed spaces called Agoras. You read, you reply, or you skip. Your daily traces are limited. Your hourly replies too. Because when everything is limited, nothing is wasted. Agoras: 12 themed spaces where traces live. Choose which ones you want to explore. Dialogues: One-on-one conversations, 24 hours, then gone. Traces: Short, intentional posts. No media, no noise. Just words. Stigmas: Earn achievements, unlock profile icons. Leave a trace. A reply awaits.
