The Social Network for UT Students Remember when social media was about your friends? So do we. Somewhere along the way, social media stopped being social. Instead of helping us keep up with our friends, it became a place filled with influencers, algorithms, endless scrolling, and content competing for our attention. We believe there's a better way. Lymelyte is the social network where your friends come first. Every moment on Lymelyte is designed to deepen your real relationships. No performing for strangers. No chasing attention. Just connecting with the people who matter most in your lyfe. Social Networking. Not Social Media. Friends First Social networking should strengthen friendships, not distract from them. See what your friends are up to throughout the day, share your own life as it happens, and stay connected through meaningful conversations. Share Your Day As It Unfolds Life isn't made up of perfectly curated highlights. It's made up of everyday moments worth sharing. Post photos, videos, thoughts, music, activities, and polls as your day unfolds. AirChat Real relationships are built through real conversations. AirChat combines private voice and text messaging to make conversations feel more natural, expressive, and personal, bringing you closer to the people who matter most. Simple by Design A beautiful place where your friends are at. We're building the social network we always wished existed. One where our friends come first. Come join us.

Level Network is a $1/month social network with no ads, no recommendation algorithm, no public popularity metrics, and a chronological timeline of the people you follow. Most social apps are free, and the price is hidden in the design: ads, engagement bait, ranked timelines, and a scoreboard over every post. Level uses a cleaner model. You pay $1 a month, and the app works for you. THE CONTRACT - Users are the customer. The dollar keeps Level independent from advertisers and paid reach. - Following means following. Your timeline is chronological posts from people you chose - nothing inserted, nothing reordered. - No public scoreboards. No public like, follower, or view counts attached to people and posts. Posts stand on their own. - Monthly on purpose. No annual lock-in. Level has to keep earning the dollar. A SOCIAL NETWORK, NOT A SLOT MACHINE Level is still for normal social life: photos, stories, links, jokes, plans, art, taste, and keeping up with friends. Post things. Comment like a person. Share finds with people who trust your taste. Small posts have room here, because social media should still feel social. WHAT LEVEL REFUSES TO DO - No ads, ever. - No For You page interrupting your timeline. - No selling your data or your attention. - No streaks, guilt loops, or fake urgency. - No paid reach. Nobody can pay their way into your timeline. QUIET BY DESIGN Notifications correspond to real social activity - a follow, a comment, a reply, a mention - not manufactured reasons to open the app. Level is built to be worth opening, not hard to close. Membership is $1/month through Apple. Cancel anytime in your Apple subscriptions. Your account and your content are yours, and account deletion is built into the app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ The incentives are broken. Level uses a cleaner model.
