Open beta

A social space you configure yourself.

PlusSocial doesn't decide what you should see. You set the tone, choose your communities and shape your feed — no outrage engine, no endless scroll designed to keep you hooked.

Look around first

Three things you control

Your space
Themes, motion, contrast, reading comfort and a calm space with sounds and quiet games. Set it up the way your head works.
Your control
Choose the tone of your feed by topic, category and muted words. Chronological order — never ranked to keep you scrolling.
Your communities
Real places for discussion, guides, projects, teams and good causes — not a single firehose of everything at once.

See your Shield in action

Example— these posts and settings are made-up examples for demonstration only. Nothing here is saved.

Move between settings and watch the same three example posts change. This is a live demonstration — try it.

Difficult posts are blurred until you choose to look.

M
Maya

Finished the gentle morning walk guide from Wellbeing today. Small thing, big difference.

A
AdeBlurred

Another furious argument thread about the election. People are tearing each other apart again.

R
RenBlurred

Graphic news footage from the incident — sharing because people should see what happened.

Your settings change only your own view. Nobody else's feed is affected and nothing is ever deleted.

How PlusSocial differs from the usual social network

Not a longer feature list — a different set of choices.

What you see first

An algorithm picks what keeps you scrolling — usually whatever makes you angry.
Plain, chronological order, filtered only by the settings you chose yourself.

Signing up

Your email, phone number and contacts, fed into advertising profiles.
A username and password is enough — or Google sign-in if you prefer. No contacts uploaded, no tracking.

Who can reach you

Anyone can message or call you until you block them, one by one.
Calls and messages only from connections you have both approved.

Difficult content

Reported, then removed or not — with nothing in between.
Your Shield softens, blurs or hides it for you, while a person handles real rule-breaking.

When it gets too much

Log off, or keep scrolling.
Calm Space: breathing, ambient sound and twelve quiet games, right inside the app.

Money

Adverts, data sales and paywalled basics.
Free in beta. Subject communities stay free forever, and causes are paid direct with no cut.

Try Calm Space before you join

Breathing, ambient sound and twelve quiet games live inside PlusSocial. Here is the breathing pacer, working right now — no account needed.

Tap begin and follow the circle

Plus Call Buddy — voice and video, only with people you trust

  • Only connections you have both approved can ring you — nobody else can.
  • Live captions on screen for anyone who reads more easily than they hear.
  • Type to talk: tap a phrase or type one and your device says it aloud.
  • A guardian can pause calls entirely, and you can too, in one tap.

Communities are the heart of PlusSocial

Every community has discussions, a library of guides you can read or listen to in the app, members and an about page. Some are run by charities, teams and good causes.

Discussions

Calm, chronological threads with real-time replies.

Resources

100+ guides and workbooks to read, listen to or download.

Causes

Charities, teams and grassroots projects with their own pages.

Moderation, filtering and Shield are three different things

Most platforms blur these together. We keep them separate on purpose.

Platform moderation

The rules PlusSocial applies to everyone. Reports are reviewed by a person, and anything against the rules is removed from the whole platform. You can't switch this off — and you don't need to.

Personal filtering

Your private preferences: topics, categories, muted words and how strict you want to be. It changes only what you see. Nothing is deleted, nobody else's feed changes, and “View anyway” is always there.

Plus Social Shield

The screen where you set all of that, in one place, in plain language. Shield is the control panel for your personal filtering — not a moderator, and not a censor.

Plus AI works for you, not on you

Plus AI has one job: helping you find and shape things. It never decides who belongs here.

  • Sets up and explains your Shield in plain language
  • Summarises long discussions so you don't have to read every reply
  • Translates community posts and guides into your language
  • Helps you find communities, guides and people worth your time
  • Flags possible problems for a human moderator — it never bans anyone

Every decision that affects an account or a post is made by a person. AI assists; humans decide.

Built for everyone, designed with accessibility in mind.

Keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels, reduced motion, high contrast, larger text, read-aloud guides and sensory-friendly themes — all part of the product, not an afterthought.
