Pools is a better way to keep in touch, in a way that works for everybody. No bots, strangers, spam, or ads. Just the people who matter. Make a dedicated space (a Pool!), and share it with anyone, for any reason or topic. Make as many Pools as you want. Share the things that don't work through text or on social media. No unnecessary alerts. No pressure to reply. Catch up when it's convenient. Choose who sees which posts and replies, because not everything is for everyone. Your profile is undiscoverable and you control how you're connected to others. PRIVACY Sign up without needing to provide your email address or phone number. No ads. No promoted or suggested content. CONNECT It’s impossible to receive spam or any unwanted connection requests in the app. Connect in Pools using our unique and expiring Connection Codes. Choose which name and photo you share with each new connection. SHARING & DISCOVERING Pools are how you organize and share. Create Pools that are private just for yourself or share them with a particular person or group. Subscribe to Pools that your connections share with you. When you make a post, you choose which Pools to share it to. Based on who subscribes to that Pool, the right people will get the post in their feed. Posting to Pools lets you share quietly. The other person won’t get a notification. Less pressure to respond and they can get to it when it makes sense for them. REACTIONS & COMMENTS If you leave a reaction, only the person who made the post will see. Reactions are just feedback, not a popularity contest. If you want to leave a comment on a post, you choose who can see it. You can only pick from other people you’re connected to that also subscribe to that Pool. This makes reactions and comments much more personal and less one-size-fits-all. MESSAGE Create and join 1-1 message threads and group message threads. You can have multiple message threads for the same person or group. Customize your name and photo for each group message you’re part of. Join group messages without revealing any of your contact information. FOR YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY Pools is about connecting with people in your life. You build your own network. You don’t need to have lots of connections to benefit from Pools. Start by inviting one other person you communicate with often. SUBSCRIPTION You already know there’s no free lunch on the internet. Free apps are paid for by someone else. We’d rather serve you. Get started with your first 50MB free, and then simply pay for the storage of your own posts. Pools Starter includes 500MB storage. Pools Standard includes 20GB storage. Pools Super includes 100GB storage. Pools Supreme includes 500GB storage.
