About

Nest Private

Read full description

Nest is a private space for the people you love โ€” a place to chat, share memories, and keep them safe, just for you. Unlike a public feed, Nest is built around private, intimate spaces. Start a one-on-one conversation or create a group โ€” every chat automatically gets its own Wall: a shared album where everyone posts the photos, songs, and places that capture your favorite moments. Sort them into folders so all the memories from a trip, a night out, or years of friendship stay in one place. Music is better together. Play a track perfectly in sync right inside your conversation, and grow a shared playlist for the group over time. React instantly, start a voice or video call, and feel like you're in the same room โ€” even from the other side of the world. Running a group? Admins stay in control: they choose who can post on the Wall, add or remove members, and manage the space. Find your friends, send them a friend request, and create your first Nest. With Nest, you can: โ€ข Send private messages (one-on-one or in groups) โ€ข Create a shared Wall for every conversation โ€ข Add photos, songs, and places to your memories โ€ข Organize your memories into folders โ€ข Listen to music together, perfectly in sync, in your rooms โ€ข Build a shared playlist for every group โ€ข Make voice and video calls โ€ข Add friends and manage members as a group admin Your memories. Your people. Your Nest. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Collide

Read full description

You're surrounded by people all the time โ€” but you have no idea who's open to meeting. Collide lets you input the places you normally hang out, then notifies you when someone going there wants to meet up. View a map of where other people have posted they hang out, and join them! Post or join in two ways: โ€ข I'm Available โ€” no agenda, just open to hanging out and chatting โ€ข I'm Doing Something โ€” post a specific plan (chess, pickleball, a coffee run) and invite others to join Before you meet: See who posted, what they're interested in, and what you have in common. Meet someone great? Add them as a friend. Your privacy, your control: Your location is never shared unless you choose to post. No background tracking. If someone makes you uncomfortable, block them โ€” they won't see you on the map. Romantic advances are a reportable offense. Available on iOS, Android, and web.
