Description
A/SIDE is a private app for sharing photos, videos, and everyday moments with the friends who actually know you. No ads. No ranked feed. No AI training on your content. Just your people, newest first.
CHOOSE WHO SEES EACH POST
Share with all your connections, or choose one or more private Lists for family, close friends, your climbing crew, or your book club. People can see the post, not the names of your Lists. Changing a List later doesn't change the audience of posts you've already shared.
YOUR FEED, IN ORDER
Photos, videos, and text appear in reverse-chronological order. No suggested posts, trending tab, or engagement-based reordering. Use Lists to filter your feed to a smaller circle, and react to posts with any emoji.
CONNECT ON PURPOSE
Create an account without an invite, then connect with people you know through personal invite links and connection requests. Connections require acceptance before you can see each other's posts. There are no public profiles or public user directory. Optional contact matching can help you find people you know.
ENCRYPTED CONVERSATIONS
New direct and group conversations use end-to-end encryption with the Signal Protocol. Photos sent in those conversations are encrypted too. Feed posts are not end-to-end encrypted. Older legacy conversations may contain unencrypted messages; they aren't encrypted retroactively.
VOICE DICTATION
Speak captions, comments, and messages using on-device dictation. Audio is processed on your iPhone. Requires iOS 26 or later and a supported language.
HOME SCREEN WIDGET
See a photo from your friends on your Home Screen.
OPEN SOURCE
A/SIDE's mobile app and server code are public. Explore how the feed, messaging, and audience controls work:

FREE TO USE, WITH OPTIONAL PRO
Free accounts include the most recent 30 days of feed and message history. This is an access limit, not automatic deletion after 30 days.
Pro Individual: $20/year for full history.
Pro Family: $60/year for full history for up to 6 people, including you.
No ads on any plan. Prices are in US dollars; local store prices may vary.
Start with a couple of friends and something ordinary to share.
