one app.
for making things.

Posts, live rooms, and communities in one place — for everyday people creating. Nothing to import, nothing to crosspost, unless you want to.

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

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

go live with your people.

real-time chat and reactions, in a room of people you know.

/ control

you control the
algorithm.

Chronological by default, and recommendations are opt-in. The same rules apply to everyone. Nothing is quietly throttled behind your back.

Tune it, or turn it off. The dial is yours.
There are no shadow bans. You are not quietly punished for what you post.
A receipt on your post shows how reach works — eligibility, the factors, views, sends, and the ranking version.

Pure you. nothing reranked, boosted, or throttled. your network, newest first — every post, every time.

your space.
your rules.
actually private.

The same rules apply to everyone, and they are written in the open. There are no shadow bans. You are never the product.

encrypted DMs

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

no shadow bans

Nothing is quietly throttled behind your back. We don't sell your attention.

your rules

You decide who can message you, who sees you, and what the algorithm weighs. The rules themselves are the same for everyone.

“their algorithm worked great.
for them.”

You can post something that matters to you and watch it quietly die, with no rule you can find. On PUNCH the same rules apply to everyone. There are no shadow bans. A receipt shows how reach works, and nothing is quietly throttled behind your back.
