Alive

Alive is a social app for people who got tired of performing. No public feed. No followers. No algorithm. No AI. Just you, the moment you wanted to capture, and the friends you actually want to share it with. WHY ALIVE EXISTS Social media broke. We open a camera and we don't see the world anymore β we see the post. We compose for the audience before we've even noticed what's in front of us. We polish, we hesitate, we stop posting. Loneliness in a hyper-connected world. Alive flips the workflow. Capture first. Decide who sees it later. Share it with one person, or three, or your whole graph β your choice, every time. If you want, you can never share it at all, and the moment stays only on your phone. HOW IT FEELS β Open the app, hit the capture button. Voice. Photo. Video. Text on a colored background. Mix all four into one post if you want. β It saves to your own private feed first. Always. The decision of whether to share comes after. β When you do share, you pick the humans. Not "everyone." Not "followers." Specific friends, or a group you made (Family, Closest, Studio, Roommates β whatever you call yours). β Want a friend's friends to see this one too? Tap the link icon next to that one person, just on this one post. One hop only. No reposting. No virality machine. FRIENDS, NOT FOLLOWERS Connections on Alive are mutual. You ask. They accept. There are no asymmetric fans, no follow-back games. If you want out, you unfriend, mute, or block β and on Alive, block actually means block: pending requests cancel, shared posts disappear from their side, saved posts of yours leave their library. WHAT'S IN THE APP β Capture and posting in four mediums (text, voice, photo, up to 120-second video), in any combination. β A private feed that shows the moments you've shared and the moments shared with you, strictly chronological. Newest at the top. That's it. β Profiles with a Saved tab so anything beautiful can be kept. β 1:1 chat with the people you actually want to talk to. Persistent. Realtime. β A Founders Wall showing the first hundred thousand people who believed in this enough to back it. WHAT'S NOT IN THE APP β No AI. None. Not for captions, not for moderation, not for ranking. Your post is your post. β No public feed, no discovery, no "explore." β No streaks, no "you haven't posted in 3 days" nudges, no "on this day" memories that ambush you. β No ads. Founders get a lifetime ad-free guarantee. Even after the founder window closes, sharing will never cost money. β No third-party tracking. We're not selling your data, your face, or your friends list. PRIVACY YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE Posts you create but don't share never leave your device. We literally can't see them β they never touch our servers. When you do share, the media goes encrypted in transit and at rest. The owner of a post is notified if you screenshot it. THE FOUNDER OFFER One dollar a week. A lifetime ad-free guarantee, for as long as Alive operates the account. A Founder badge that shows up everywhere you appear in the app. We're using it to fund building something honest, without ad money pulling at the design. WHO ALIVE IS FOR Alive is for the quiet ones. The people who used to post and stopped. The ones who never started because nothing felt private enough. The ones who only really share in DMs anyway. We made this for you. Welcome home.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quink App at none against Alive's 2. Quink App also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
