🔎Overview


What if social media actually made your time worthwhile? ⏰

You spend one month per year scrolling through social media.

What if that time created real impact instead of just filling pockets of tech monopolies?


The Problem is Simple

Traditional social media is designed to extract value from you, not create it for you.

What you get:

  • Click-bait rabbit holes that waste hours

  • Vanity metrics that fuel anxiety

  • Aggressive ads from every angle

  • Harmful content with no accountability

  • Your data sold to the highest bidder

What they get:

  • Your attention

  • Your data

  • Your money

  • Your time

You deserve better.

Then we give you the tools to actually do it.
