An example group. Three new moments, then the page ends.

Who it's for

Any group of people who care about each other.

A group is whatever you need it to be, and most people belong to more than one.

  • Family, near or far

    Grandparents, cousins and everyone who moved away.

  • Close friends

    The friends you'd call first, wherever life took them.

  • Church, faith and community groups

    Prayer requests, potlucks and the week's news, kept among members.

  • A team and its parents

    Game times, carpools and the season's highlights in one place.

  • Clubs

    Book clubs, running groups, gardeners: any hobby you share.

  • Neighbors

    The street or building that looks out for each other.

  • Classmates and reunions

    Find everyone again and plan the reunion together.

  • Caregivers

    The people looking after someone they love, sharing updates and taking turns.

How it works

Three steps, and then it's just your people.

  1. Start your group

    A group is your private space: your family, your friends, your team. Give it a name, and it belongs to the people you invite and no one else.

  2. Invite the people who matter

    Send each person their own invitation. Anyone you invite joins free, whether that's your cousin, your grandfather or the team's coach.

  3. Share, reply, and get on with your day

    Post a moment, answer a plan, catch up in a few minutes. The page ends instead of pulling you into more.

What you can do

Everything your group needs to stay close, and nothing it doesn't.

Marked honestly: Built works today in our private test version. Coming is what we're building next.

  • Moments

    Built

    Share what happened this week, in words, with everyone in your group.

  • A feed that ends

    Built

    The latest moments, newest first, in the order they were shared, and then the page ends. Nothing is ranked and nothing keeps loading.

  • Comments and reactions

    Built

    Answer the people you love. Reactions show who responded and never turn into a score.

  • Plans and replies

    Built

    Birthday dinners, reunions, the holiday schedule. Everyone answers going, maybe or can't make it, and everyone can see who has replied.

  • You decide who belongs

    Built

    Only invited people get in. Every invitation works once, and the organizer can see and manage who belongs at any time.

  • Photos

    Coming

    Add photos to a moment. Photos are rebuilt when they arrive, which removes the hidden location data phones attach.

  • Know when you're caught up

    Coming

    Stay Connected Today remembers what you've already seen, so it can tell you when there's nothing new since your last visit.

  • Memories and albums

    Coming

    Look back by month, by person or by album, and see what your group shared on this day in earlier years.

  • A weekly email for everyone

    Coming

    People who never open an app still get the week's moments in their inbox, and can reply to join in.

  • Birthdays and the dates that matter

    Coming

    Birthdays, anniversaries and the days that matter, with a gentle reminder before each one.

  • Stories worth keeping

    Coming

    A question each week for someone you choose, like “What was your first job?”. Answers are typed or recorded and kept together.

  • A shared cookbook

    Coming

    Grandma's recipes and the potluck favorites, with the stories behind them, in one place everyone can cook from.

  • Your own page

    Coming

    A profile photo, a header photo, a few words about you and a favorite song. You choose which of your groups sees the whole page.

  • Make it yours

    Coming

    Give your group a look: Confetti, Cozy or Clean, and a color of your own. Whatever you choose stays easy to read.

  • Messages to one, a few or everyone

    Coming

    Message one person, the whole group, or a private few, like the people planning a surprise party. Nobody else can see that conversation exists.

  • Group video calls

    Coming

    Call several people at once from your browser, and add someone to a call that's already going.

Grandpa doesn't need to download anything.

Stay Connected Today runs in the web browser he already uses, on a phone, tablet or computer. We design every page for people who don't live on their phones: clear text, buttons that say what they do, and one obvious next step.

Works with Smart Connect

Smart Connect for everyday life. Stay Connected Today for sharing it.

Smart Connect keeps the day organized: the calendar, the lists, the calls, and knowing everyone got home. Stay Connected Today is where your whole group, even the people who never install anything, shares moments, with photos coming soon. We're planning for your groups to be the same in both apps.

Our promise

We charge you because we don't sell you.

  • We never sell your data or show you ads.

    We make money one way: an organizer pays for their group. That's the whole business, so there's no reason to watch you.

  • No algorithm decides what you see.

    Everything appears in the order it was shared. Nothing is boosted, buried or recommended.

  • Only the people you invite.

    No strangers, no public posts, no discovery. Removing someone takes away their access right away.

  • Your moments aren't training data.

    What you share isn't used to train AI and isn't shown to AI systems.

Questions

What people ask us first.

Is this social media?

Not the kind you know. There are no strangers, no public profiles, no follower counts, no ads, and no algorithm choosing what you see. It's a private place for people who already care about each other.

Does everyone need to install an app?

No. Stay Connected Today works in any web browser on a phone, tablet or computer.

Who pays?

One organizer holds the subscription for the group. Everyone they invite joins free, and nobody is ever asked to pay to take part.

Can anyone find our group?

No. Groups are invitation-only and never appear in search results or suggestions. Only members, and people you've invited, can see your group's name, and only members can see who belongs or anything shared in it.

Can I be in more than one group?

Yes, as many as you like, and most people are in several: their family, their friends, a team. Each group is separate, and what's shared in one never shows up in another.

What happens to our photos?

They stay yours. We don't sell them, we don't advertise with them, and we don't feed them to AI systems. You'll be able to download everything you've shared, and delete it.

When can we join?

We're testing privately now. Sign-ups and pricing open once that testing is done.
