Haven

What Haven is

Haven is a social platform built on a simple premise: your attention is yours. It's a place to connect with people you care about without being manipulated into spending more time than you intended. No infinite scroll, no algorithmic feed, no engagement metrics. Just people, talking to each other.

Who it's for

Haven is for people who miss what social media was supposed to be. People who want to keep up with friends and communities without the anxiety, comparison, and time-sink that current platforms have become. If you've ever closed a social app feeling worse than when you opened it, Haven is for you.

What it's not

Haven is not a broadcast platform. It's not a place to build a personal brand or grow a following. There are no public follower counts, no viral mechanics, no influencer tools. It will never have targeted advertising, and it will never sell your data. If engagement metrics are what you're after, Haven is intentionally not for you.

Design principles

• Chronological by default Your feed shows posts from people you follow, in the order they were posted. No algorithmic reordering.
• No vanity metrics No public likes, repost counts, or follower numbers. Interaction is about connection, not performance.
• Finite by design When you've seen everything new, Haven tells you. No manufactured content to keep you scrolling.
• Everything encrypted All your private conversations and content are end-to-end encrypted. Only you and people you trust can read them — not even we can see your data.
• You pay, you own Subscription-based. No user targeted ads, no data sales. Your data is yours to export or delete at any time.
• Calm notifications Batched, configurable, and respectful. Haven never manufactures urgency to pull you back in.
