Introducing munity munity is an app focused on activities and connections within your local community. Don’t expect large groups or spammed distant, expensive events. Engage in munity through your Pulses, Matches, Shots and –coming soon– Challenges. Pulses Pulses are activities and events that you and others can join. Easily create a Pulse—a dynamic, flexible type of activity—and invite friends, family and loved ones. If you make your Pulse public, anyone close by can request to join in for a fun neighborhood gathering. Set a location, date, and time for things like birthdays, parties, dinners, classes, and more. You’ll get a reminder before your Pulse starts so you never show up late. Go ahead—invite your friends and family to save the date. Looking for something spontaneous? You can also create a Pulse that starts the moment you arrive at a location. Your friends will be notified that you’re at the gym, library, or grabbing a quick bite to eat—perfect for spontaneous meetups. Want to give a heads-up first? Before heading out, mark yourself as on your way so others know to keep an eye out when you arrive. New! Pulse Habits! Pulse Habits are a new kind of Pulse that doesn’t need a specific location. They encourage activities that can happen anywhere, anytime—like brainstorming at a coffee shop, meditating in the park, or studying at home. Set a duration and start a positive Habit. Your friends will be notified when you begin so they can join in and build a positive habit together. Shots Your Shots are photos or short videos captured when your Pulse is happening and you’re there. Take a single, authentic shot to share what’s happening—no filters. Just life, unedited. Matches Matches occur when someone nearby shares similar interests. You’ll see their profile and what they’re into, and if it feels right, you can accept. If you both say yes, start chatting to plan a meetup—like creating a Pulse to get together at a common location. Behind munity The dedicated team behind munity has grown frustrated for years with how current social media negatively affects people’s lives—including our friends, families, and loved ones. Too often, it promotes unrealistic standards, excessive or bad habits, and encourages addictive app behaviors. munity takes a different path. It focuses only on activities and people within a limited distance from your location. Don’t expect content from across the world—unless someone’s actually there visiting your town. munity was created with a lot of love and passion by a small team committed to making a positive impact in our local communities. We’re improving munity every week. We provide the tools—you help your community. Have ideas for improvements? Don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d love to hear from you.
KindChat

Scammers, bullies, predators. Every message is checked before it reaches you. KindChat is a full-featured messenger with a conscience: every message is checked on the sender's phone before it can be sent. If the phone is unsure, cannot yet judge the language on its own, or lacks the memory for it, a KindChat server in the EU checks the text and the messages before it, without your account ID. The text is stored only if you consent via "Help improve moderation", and then pseudonymised. When the check detects harassment, hate, threats, scams or grooming, the message is stopped before it is sent. Then every message is end-to-end encrypted: no one can read it on the way. THE CIVILITY GUARD • Every message is checked on the device, before it is sent • Harassment, hate speech, threats, scams and grooming are detected and stopped • One fair standard for everyone: civil disagreement, strong opinions and dark humor are fine; harm is not TRULY PRIVATE • End-to-end encryption (Signal protocol) for every chat, group, photo and call • Encrypted 1:1 voice and video calls • Pulse: a private feed for your circle only. No strangers, no public likes, no algorithm • No tracking, no profiling. Your data is never sold, and never passed on to ad networks or data brokers YOU STAY IN CONTROL • Verify contacts in person with safety numbers • Mute, block or report; the person you report won't learn who reported • When you report, moderation sees the reported message only with your consent; the rest of your chat stays encrypted • Real humans review every account decision, with a written explanation and a right to appeal BUILT IN GERMANY • Hosted in the EU under GDPR • DSA-compliant moderation with due process • Free to use; optional Plus upgrades for comfort features KindChat is for everyone who wants strong conversations without the ugliness: families, friends, clubs and classmates. Hand your teen a phone, not a worry. Kind chats. Strong conversations. Terms of Use: https://kindchat.app/en/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://kindchat.app/en/privacy/
