Start. vs TrueSay

Start is the social media app that flips the script. Instead of endless scrolling, you unlock your feed by creating something first. Every day, you’ll get a 5-minute timer. When you’re ready, hit start, put your phone down, and create something in the real world. Draw, write, build, play music—anything. When you’re done, share it and discover what others made. No passive scrolling. No mindless consumption. Just real creativity.

TrueSay is one social app for photos and short video, long-form articles, and community discussion — with controls so you decide what you see, who reaches you, and when. Post a photo. Write an article. Join a thread. Follow people and topics that matter. Then tune the feed instead of taking whatever the default ranking serves. YOUR FEED, YOUR RULES • Feed preferences and recipes — re-rank For You by relevance, freshness, popularity, or following • Muted words — hide topics you don’t want in your feed • Comment controls — choose who can reply to your posts • Quiet mode, break reminders, and hidden counts — spend time on purpose, not on metrics • Block and privacy settings — control who can message you and what you see CREATE AND SHARE • Posts — text, photos, videos, and styled writing • Mini Clips — short vertical video alongside your feed • Articles — read and write long-form pieces from people you follow • Pulse — posts that expire after 24 hours • Notes — quick updates that don’t have to live forever COMMUNITY AND DISCOVERY • Groups and communities — public or private, with roles and rules • News threads — follow developing stories with updates and sources • Arena — structured discussion on selected topics • Places — find nearby spots and check in • Explore — people, topics, and content discovery • Events — organize gatherings with RSVP • Direct messages — private conversations with reactions and read receipts • Collections — save and organize posts you want to keep • Creative tools — writing, research, and interview-prep assistance (you author, AI assists) SAFE BY DESIGN Report a post, comment, or person in two taps.
