True - Private social sharing

Social media should not feel invasive, and it doesn't have to. True has been crafted to safeguard your privacy while offering a visually appealing way to share privately.

• Concentrating on genuine connections, we aim to restore social interactions as a secure and enjoyable experience, without the need for extracting personal data.

• The happiness derived from our relationships is rooted in their quality rather than their number. We are developing innovative methods for you to share your narrative, engage with your friends, and enhance your community.

• There are no deceitful algorithms at play, just authentic connections and original content from actual individuals.

• We do not monitor your activities, track your cookies, or trail you online. You retain ownership of your data indefinitely, and it will never be sold or shared.

Now is the time to explore a transparent option. True brings together real friendships and everyday life free from commercial interruptions.

The True Story

True originated in a charming mountain town teeming with towering redwoods, stunning valleys, and caring neighbors.

This authentic Happy Valley motivated us to create a company that prioritizes what is truly significant—genuine friendships and daily experiences unencumbered by commercialism.

The essence of our happiness lies in the depth of our relationships, not merely in their numbers. The thrill of forging new connections and reconnecting with old friends enhances our community spirit.

Somehow, the pursuit of rapid expansion and profits has led to a loss of these fundamental feelings. Social interaction has transformed from a Happy Valley into an overwhelming commercial environment.

Major social corporations insert themselves into our personal relationships, profiting from our goodwill.

We choose not to participate in this any longer.

Why Should I Trust You?

Conversations around privacy are frequent. Almost every few weeks, another large corporation finds itself embroiled in a scandal. Yet, there seems to be no substantial action taken, and we continue to accept the situation.

The unsettling truth is that this cycle is unlikely to cease. As long as these companies profit from selling our private information, they will continually devise increasingly cunning methods to obtain it.

However, we did not consent to this arrangement. We did not expose our lives, families, and personal relationships for sale. We did not agree to allow these entities to monetize our friendships.

We believe you ought to express your life freely without major brands vying for your focus. You should have ownership over your information and decide how to manage it. Third parties should never access your data; you should not be treated as a product.

Your privacy holds significance for us. We incorporate it into every choice we make. You can trust that we uphold your privacy and deal with your information responsibly.

What Sets Us Apart?

We firmly believe that one cannot genuinely express oneself in a landscape dominated by idealized images and influencers. Traditional social media often involves broadcasting your life to unfamiliar faces, measured against unattainable benchmarks.

Thus, we have created a new model of threaded sharing that defaults to privacy. This concept is unprecedented and empowers you to determine what you wish to share and with whom.

By merging beautiful, immersive storytelling with private messaging, we provide the best of both realms.

What do we all cherish? Updates from true friends. Unfortunately, original thoughts and narratives have largely vanished from mainstream social media.

Regrettably, much of the content today originates from corporations with specific agendas. Instead of sharing genuine moments, we are flooded with a continuous stream of news and ideas promoted by these entities.

Therefore, we developed a platform dedicated solely to original content. There are no external links or partisan debates here. You visit True for authentic updates from friends—content they have personally created, not attention-seeking clickbait designed to manipulate views.

True enables you to be yourself. By fostering authentic sharing from true friends, we are striving to reconstruct social media into a safe and joyful space once more.
