Circles, not crowds
Share with the people who matter. Small, private groups you actually chose — not an audience.
Introducing Ripple 2.0
Social media, back to the people you actually know.
Ripple is a private, ad-free mobile app for sharing life with your closest circles. No strangers, no algorithm, no outrage — just the friends and family you chose.
Why Ripple
Built for closeness, not for clout.
Every feature in Ripple is designed around one question: does this bring you closer to the people you love? If the answer isn't yes, it isn't in the app.
Human-first feed
Posts appear in the order they were shared. No engagement bait, no shadow ranking.
Private by default
End-to-end encrypted DMs, no ad tracking, and one tap to delete everything you've ever posted.
Better conversations
Threads, voice notes, and reactions built for warmth. Reply prompts nudge you toward kindness.
Quiet notifications
One daily digest, not a hundred pings. Batch, snooze, or silence — you're in control.
Works everywhere
iOS, Android, and a fast web app. Your circles follow you across every device you own.
How it works
Three steps to a quieter feed.

Loved by real humans
A social app people actually miss.
“Ripple gave me back the feeling of texting a group chat, but with beautiful photos and voice notes. It's the only social app I actually open every day now.”

“No ads, no strangers, no endless scroll. I share a lot more with my parents and cousins here than I ever did anywhere else.”

“Our team of twelve uses Ripple as a private space to celebrate wins and share ideas. It replaced three tools we used to duct-tape together.”
