Start is the social media app that flips the script. Instead of endless scrolling, you unlock your feed by creating something first. Every day, you’ll get a 5-minute timer. When you’re ready, hit start, put your phone down, and create something in the real world. Draw, write, build, play music—anything. When you’re done, share it and discover what others made. No passive scrolling. No mindless consumption. Just real creativity.
