Niche is the members-only home for your community - the feed, the courses, the events, and the conversations, all in one place on your phone. Built for people who'd rather go deep with the right room than wide with everyone. THE FEED Share posts, polls, voice notes, and wins. React, comment, and bookmark. Your community's pulse, in real time. ASK AI Ask a question and get a real answer, drawn from your community's own guides, resources, and transcripts - not the open internet. COURSES Watch video lessons, track your progress, and pick up exactly where you left off. EVENTS See what's coming up and RSVP in a tap. MEMBERS Browse the directory, discover people worth knowing, and connect. MESSAGES Direct messages, group chats, and channels - with reactions, replies, typing indicators, and photo sharing. YOUR NUMBERS Track the KPIs and daily metrics that matter, and watch your progress over time. AND MORE A Vault of saved resources, a searchable guide library that reads inside your documents, the leaderboard, notifications, and a profile that's yours. Niche is invite-based and members-only. You'll need an account with your community to sign in.
