Binky is the most stress-free social media app ever! Think about all those times when you want to scroll through a feed on your phone, but you don't want to read depressing news articles or see photos from people who seem happier than you. Binky gives you the incessant micro-thrills of scrolling through stuff, never knowing what's coming next, without all the hassle. And the things you do in Binky don't end up on a server somewhere for the world to see. It's all the fun of social media with all the privacy you wish you had! Features: * An infinite list of random stuff (we call them "Binks"), with pictures. You won't care about some of them, but others will give you a fleeting feeling of satisfaction -- just like a real app! * Each Bink has a Like button so that you can like it, just like a real app! * Swipe left or right on Binks, because it's weirdly satisfying, just like a real app! * Leave a comment! Unlike a real app, you don't have to stress about what to say. Just mash the keyboard and Binky will think of an appropriate comment for you! Where's THAT feature, Facebook? * A "share" button that doesn't do anything! * Scroll through over a thousand Binks, including: sawdust, Sam Cooke, rutabagas, laser tag, merman, mascara, puddles, and elbow. If you read all the way through that last bullet point, you're already hooked. Download it today!

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Binky at 4.5 against zeitgeist's 3.5. Binky also leads on ratings volume (104 vs 2). zeitgeist's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Binky holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Binky has 104 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of zeitgeist's written reviews are positive against 88% of Binky's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

zeitgeist ships an update every 16 months, Binky every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
