Every kind of content

Stop juggling six apps

Six full platforms, one profile, one feed. Every kind of conversation, every kind of audience.

One feed. Every platform.

The one social media that connects them all.

Stop letting your audience get stranded on whatever platform falls out of favor. Bring your followers, your content, and your reputation into one home you actually own.

The Helm family
Replaces TikTok

Short video that respects your time.

Vertical feed, remixes, duets, and live streaming. For moments that move. Without endless doomscrolling.

Sage filming
Replaces Instagram

Photos and stories that don’t vanish.

Carousel posts, stories, reels. Share the day to day. Keep the memories. Stop chasing the algorithm.

Photos and stories
Replaces Facebook

The people who actually know you.

Long form posts, groups, events, family links. The place where you stay close to the humans who matter. Not the strangers who don’t.

Iris and Pip family
Replaces Deepstash

Save ideas. Stack knowledge.

Beautiful card stacks for articles, lessons, and saved thoughts. Curate boards. Learn out loud.

Atlas with knowledge cards
Replaces Spotify creators

Podcasts with a real creator page.

Episode feeds with playlists, chapter markers, and discoverability that doesn’t require a separate empire.

Replaces OpenSponsorship

Brands and creators, direct.

Real campaigns. Real reporting. No middlemen taking a cut between you and the brand that actually wants to work with you.

Live streaming · Coins · Gifts

Go live. Get gifted. Get paid.

Most platforms keep 70 cents of every dollar your fans spend on you. We keep 50. Your viewers buy coins, send animated gifts in your live, and you cash out in days. No app store tax. No data sales. No middlemen.

The 50/50 promise

When a fan spends $15, you get $7.50. Every time.

Other platforms hide the math because the math is ugly. We show ours up front. Every gift in your live shows the exact dollars going to you. Every coin your viewers buy on web skips the Apple and Google tax, which means more for them and more for you.

100+ animated gifts

Gifts your fans actually want to send.

From a one-coin rose to a full-screen Helm Family Hug, every gift has its own animation, sound, and chat moment. Themed around our mascot family. Original. Yours.

Inner Circle

Your top supporters, on a guest list you control.

Lock chat to your Inner Circle. Run a private live just for them. Set custom rewards. The fans who show up for you get the room you choose to give them.

  • Inner Circle-only chat in any live
  • Private streams for top tier
  • Custom badges + thank-you flow
Coming after beta

Everything a creator needs to actually go pro.

We are scaffolding the studio during beta so testers can feel exactly what is coming. The live stream pipeline, coins, gifts, and payouts ship in v2.

Web-based studio No app to download. Camera, mic, scene setup, gift bar config. All in the browser.
Stream goals Hit 1,000 coins for a song request. 5,000 for a tarot pull. Your call.
Moderators Pick from anyone you follow or who follows you. Add before or during the stream.
Real dashboard Real-time viewers, gift events, earnings, and a post-stream summary that actually helps.
Auto-clip highlights Best moments cut and posted to your feed automatically, so new viewers find you between streams.
American payouts Stripe Connect direct to your bank. Days, not months. No off-shore intermediaries.
Gamification

Climb tiers. Don’t just scroll.

Seven influence tiers. Twenty levels each. Earn badges that actually mean something. Get seen because you showed up, not because the algorithm felt like it.

You are actually in charge.

A parent dashboard that earns its name.

Every kid post, every new friend, every DM, every Live invite — you see it, you approve it, you can pause it. One screen. Built by parents, for parents.

  • Approve every kid follow, DM, and Live invite
  • Set screen-time windows by day
  • Require post approval for kids under 13
  • One-tap pause on the whole account
Shared family calendar

One calendar the whole family actually checks.

Soccer practice, piano, dad’s trip, family game night. Color-coded per kid, synced to the kid app, and visible on the home screen as a wall calendar when you cast it.

Pip • Soccer practice • Mon 4pm
Rio • Piano • Tue 5pm
Dad • Work trip • Thu-Fri
Family game night • Fri 7pm
Allowance, but better.

Chores in. Stars out.

Set up chores once. Kids check them off in the app. Stars roll up automatically. Redeem for screen time, treats, real money, or whatever you set. The cleanest allowance system you have ever run.

Stars become real things

You set the rewards. They do the work.

Stars unlock anything you decide. Extra screen time. A movie pick. A trip to the park. A real cash payout. Helm tracks it. The kid sees the goal. The household stops arguing.

Family Live

Go Live with the people you actually love.

Kids and teens can stream Live to family + parent-approved friends only. No randoms, no strangers, no creeps. Same fun as public Live, with the door locked.

  • Audience locked to family + approved contacts
  • Parent gets a notification when a kid goes Live
  • Recordings saved to the family library by default
  • One-tap end-stream from any parent device
100% American Made & Run

The platform the giants would never build.

We built the social network that puts people first. The one Big Tech would never make, because they make their money treating you like the product. Not here. Here, you’re the owner.

🔒

2FA on every account

Bots don’t cloud your streams. Every human verifies. Every account is real.

🇺🇸

American-made & run

Engineered and operated in the U.S. Your data lives here. Your trust lives here.

👨‍👩‍👧

Family-first by default

Parents approve every kid connection. Teens get age-right safeguards. Nothing creeps in.

💰

You keep what you earn

50/50 on Live coins and gifts. No middleman skim. Cashout in dollars, not platform credits.
