Happiness is simple - find a way to prioritise relationships. But it‘s never been easy. Until now! Wish you spent more time with friends and family? Forget birthdays? Lose track of what your friends have been up to? Struggle to find time for friends in your crazy work schedule? Find organising social events frustrating? Us too. That’s why we built Peaple. Peaple is the social companion app that helps you prioritise and strengthen your most valuable relationships. In our fast-paced lives, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Peaple brings your relationships to the forefront, empowering you to invest quality time with the people you value most. How? 4 steps 1: SOCIAL MAP - Pick your closest relationships and map them on your personal social heat-map, called the ‘Vine’. What gets measured gets managed, we care about the things we can see. With social lives being a largely intangible & invisible concept, we created the Vine: Your social life, visualised. 2: LIFE UPDATES - Each 'Pea' has a feed of their major life updates to keep their fellow Peas up to date without noise. 3: RECURRING EVENTS - Groups of 'Peas' form 'Pods' that arrange to meet on a recurring basis, all within the app. Giving the important people in your life a time and place on a regular basis is the most effective way to prioritise relationships. e.g. a family picnic once a month. 4: TRACK - Keep track of the health of your relationships. Each week, for the people you have seen, ‘water’ the relationships on your vine. This process continuously repeats and evolves as you move through life. Features: The Vine: Visualise and nurture your relationships Life Updates: Share monthly happenings with your inner circle Pods: Create intimate groups for regular meetups Events: Seamlessly create and manage recurring events Calendar: Sync Peaple's calendar with your preferred app Customisable Peas: Personalise your own Pea avatar Download Peaple and start prioritising the people who matter most!

Tether

Read full description

Tether is a set of social tools that help people build better real-world relationships, acting as a sort of digital connective tissue. Plan things together, talk, and keep up with each other, without an algorithm deciding what you see. PLAN EVENTS WITH FRIENDS Create an event, invite friends and see who’s going. Every event gets a location, a group chat and a shared gallery for the photos and videos afterwards. Not sure when yet? Start the plan without a date. A FEED YOU CAN FINISH Friends’ posts arrive once a day, newest first. Nothing is ranked, boosted or recommended. Scroll to the end and you’re done until tomorrow. MESSAGE FRIENDS One-to-one and group chats with photos, videos, voice messages, replies and reactions. EVERY PLAN IN ONE PLACE See what’s coming up and what you’ve done this year. Turn on calendar sync to add the events you’re going to or hosting to your calendar. NO ADS, NO ALGORITHM Tether isn’t paid for by your attention, so it isn’t designed to hold it. There are no ads, and nothing decides what you see except who your friends are.
