one network.
native to all of it.

Not a feed aggregator. Posts, streams, and communities all live natively in one place. Nothing to import, nothing to crosspost — unless you want to.

01

post photos & video.

chronological by default. the people you follow, in the order they posted.

PUNCH feed — stories, live rail, and posts from people you follow
02

stream live to thousands.

real-time chat, reactions, and a viewer count that isn't a guess.

03

build communities that stick.

channels, threads, pinned rules — real moderation, not vibes.

/ control

you control the
algorithm.

chronological by default. recommendations are opt-in, always. drag the dial — nothing is reranked, boosted, or injected behind your back.

tune it, or kill it. the dial is yours.
no shadow banning — never punished for what you curate.
see why anything got shown. always.

your space.
your rules.
actually private.

real moderation, not vibes. no surveillance. you're never the product.

encrypted DMs

Encrypted in transit and at rest. Never scanned for ads, never sold, never fed to AI.

no surveillance

No shadow banning. No selling your attention. You're never the product.

your rules

Decide who can message you, who sees you, what the algorithm weighs.

/ the manifesto

“their algorithm worked great.
for them.”

You post something that matters to you, and it quietly dies. You're not breaking any rule you can find. The number just doesn't go up. That's not a feed. That's a leash. PUNCH is the alternative.
