About

Looma is a Social Utility, not Social Media. Built to bring people together through genuine connection, collaboration, and community, not to maximize your screen time or sell your attention. Unlike Social Media platforms that profit from engagement metrics and ads, Looma shares a portion of net profits directly with its users and charities. Stay connected through Moment Sharing, Discussions, Messaging, and high-quality Voice and Video Calling, complete with full-screen incoming call alerts so you never miss a connection. Built with your well-being in mind, Looma puts safety and mental health first. No algorithmic pressure. No engagement traps. Just a secure space where technology actually serves you. Organizations and communities can run Storefronts: shops and charity drives, so the group can sell and collect donations without an ad feed.
