Tired of bloated platforms harvesting your data, feeding you endless sponsored posts, and algorithmically manipulating your group chats? Yeah, us too. Welcome to Tag, You're It — the messaging app built for actual humans who just want to talk. No corporate surveillance. No influencer feeds. Just pure, unadulterated communication. We built the anti-social network so you can actually be social with the people who matter. Why You Need It: • Direct Messaging (DMs): Talk one-on-one without an algorithm reading over your shoulder. • Group Chats: Assemble your crew, plan the weekend, or roast your friends. We don't care, and we aren't selling your chat history. • The Dashboard: Clean, brutalist efficiency. Find your conversations instantly without wading through a sea of noise. • Instant Notifications: Because when someone tags you, you actually need to know. Stop letting massive tech conglomerates dictate how you talk to your friends. Take your conversations back. Tag, You're It is owned by Layer One IT Consultants LLC, in partnership with Ghostweave Labs.
