Don't let someone else decide what you see.
Ourside is a small social app for your real friends. You only see the people you chose.
Join OursideSocial apps stopped being about your friends.
You open one to see people you know. You get this first.
Ads
Someone paid to be in your feed. You are what they bought.
Agendas & algorithms
Posts made to make you angry. They are pushed at you, by people you never chose.
The endless doom scroll
A feed that never ends. It is built to keep you there, not to make you feel good.
Your group chat lives here too.
Plan Sunday football.
Share a photo. Bring a mate in. No ads in between.
Reply in private.
See a post you like? Tell your friend, not the crowd. Tap Reply to try it.
Nothing to perform for.

Names only.
A ping tells you who. Never what they said.
Only the people you chose.
Ourside keeps you close to people you know but don't see much.
You say who gets in.
A friend asks. You accept. Only then do you see each other's posts.
Found by username only.
Nobody can search your name or browse a list of people.
No public accounts.
Strangers see a name and a locked door.
Just friends.
Newest first.
Your whole feed.
What your friends posted, in the order they posted it.
Nobody picks for you.
- For you
- Suggested posts
- Trending
No ads in between.
Not now. Not later.
Stay in touch, without the rot.
One post. Make it count.
One post a week. From people you know.
Seven days. One post.
So what you see is worth seeing.
No nagging.
Ourside never tells you to come back or post.
- Streaks
- "You haven't posted in a while"
Keep up.
Then keep off.
The feed ends.
Then you go and enjoy life offline :) Tap Go offline to try it.

Friends. Not followers.
For the people you don't see enough.
The friend who moved away.
Your old flatmates.
Your cousin abroad.
Why I made Ourside.
I'm Zac. I made Ourside on my own.
The big apps are built to keep you scrolling. They make more money the longer you stay.
I wanted the opposite. A place for you and your real friends, and nothing else.
So there's no ads. No algorithm to addict you. No data selling.
I don't care about your data. I'm not here to get rich from this. I just want people to have a healthy relationship with social media and their life offline.
No investors. No Private Equity backing. Ourside is free. Premium members pay a small fee. That keeps it running with no ads.
This isn't designed to make me rich, it's designed to make your life better.
Zac
