Your Inner Circle,
Redefined
In a world of endless connections, we believe in meaningful ones. The Circle limits you to 10 people who truly matter — in a space that's private, protected, and completely yours.
Built for Real Connection
Every feature is designed with one goal: helping you nurture the relationships that truly matter — in a space that's private and protected.
Intentional Limits
Maximum 5 circles, 10 members each. These constraints aren't limitations — they're liberation from the noise of endless connections.
Relationship Insights
Track relationship health with participation balance, engagement trends, and response patterns. Know when connections need attention.
No Algorithms
We don't decide what you see. Your circle shares directly with you, chronologically, without manipulation or engagement tricks.
Rich Conversations
Text, photos, videos, voice messages. Reply threads, reactions, and @mentions. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Truly Private
End-to-end encryption, screenshot protection, and disappearing messages. Your conversations stay between you and your circle.
Quality Over Quantity
No follower counts. No likes. No vanity metrics. Just real conversations with people who matter to you.

Less is More.
By Design.
Traditional social networks optimize for engagement metrics — keeping you scrolling, clicking, and coming back. We optimize for something different: the depth and quality of your relationships.
By limiting your circles, we force a profound question: who truly deserves a place in your inner world? The answer reveals what you value most — and we protect those connections with uncompromising privacy.
- Scarcity creates value — limited spots mean every connection matters
- No passive scrolling — engage meaningfully or not at all
- Your attention is sacred — we protect it, not exploit it
- Quality conversations require trust, intimacy, and real privacy
Trusted & Secure
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about The Circle and how it works.
Ten is the magic number for deep connection. It's large enough for diverse perspectives, small enough that every voice matters. No one gets lost in the crowd, no one dominates the conversation. Every member is someone who truly belongs.
Research shows that meaningful relationships require time and attention. By limiting you to 5 circles, we ensure you can genuinely engage with each community rather than spreading yourself too thin. Quality over quantity is at the heart of The Circle.
Unlike WhatsApp or Discord with unlimited members, The Circle enforces intentional limits. Plus we offer end-to-end encryption, screenshot protection, relationship insights, and a guarantee that your data is never sold or used for advertising.
We use military-grade encryption (XChaCha20-Poly1305) for all messages. We block screenshots on Android, detect them on iOS, and never analyze or sell your conversations. What happens in your circle stays in your circle.
