the opposite of social media post once a week. see what your friends are up to. then put your phone down. how it works: • add your people • post your "proof of life" anytime during the week • sunday 6pm mountain time: everyone catches up • you post to see theirs no likes. no comments. no doom-scrolling. no algorithm. no ads. just your people. your posts become a private journal only you can see. friends' posts disappear after 7 days. want to respond? text them. that's the point. 5 minutes a week, not 5 hours a day
