Discover private and personal messaging and sharing.
Be social without all the downsides of traditional social media.
Connect, share, and discover on your terms.
No tracking, no ads, just an intuitive and human-centric way of connecting with people you know.
Pools is the first app built with Bonafide, a new way of building apps where you own your data and social graph.
PRIVACY
Sign up without needing to provide your email address or phone number.
No ads. No promoted or suggested content.
CONNECT
Make connections with people you know.
It’s impossible to receive spam or any unwanted connection requests in the app.
Connect in Pools using our unique and expiring Connection Codes.
Choose which name and photo you share with each new connection.
SHARING & DISCOVERING
Pools are how you organize and share.
Create Pools that are private just for yourself or share them with a particular person or group.
Subscribe to Pools that your connections share with you.
When you make a post (images, text, link, or reference a podcast), you choose which Pools to share it to.
Based on who subscribes to that Pool, the right people will get the post in their feed.
Posting to Pools lets you share quietly. The other person won’t get a notification. Less pressure to respond and they can get to it when it makes sense for them.
REACTIONS & COMMENTS
If you leave a reaction, only the person who made the post will see. Reactions are just feedback, not a popularity contest.
If you want to leave a comment on a post, you choose who can see it. You can only pick from other people you’re connected to that also subscribe to that Pool.
This makes reactions and comments much more personal and less one-size-fits-all.
MESSAGE
Create and join 1-1 message threads and group message threads.
You can have multiple message threads for the same person or group.
Customize your name and photo for each group message you’re part of.
Join group messages without revealing any of your contact information.
FOR YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY
Pools is about connecting with people in your life. You build your own network.
You don’t need to have lots of connections to benefit from Pools.
Start by inviting one other person you communicate with often.
SUBSCRIPTION
You already know there’s no free lunch on the internet.
Free apps are paid for by someone else. We’d rather work directly with you.
Pools Standard includes 20GB storage.
Pools Plus includes 100GB storage.
