Rooted
A shared journal for the people closest to you.
Rooted is a small, private space for a handful of people to stay close — closer to a shared journal than a social network. No feeds, no algorithm, no strangers.
Six things it does well.
01
Up to 12 people
Built for the group of people you'd text on a hard day, not your follower count.
02
Shared, not broadcast
Posts go to your group, not the world. No reposts, no quote-tweets, no virality.
03
Time, not feeds
Days and weeks instead of an algorithmic stream. Catch up when you sit down with coffee.
04
Quiet notifications
Daily digest by default. No badge counts, no urgency, no rage-bait.
05
Private by default
End-to-end encrypted. We can't read your group's posts even if we wanted to.
06
One subscription, the whole group
One person pays, the group joins free. Pricing TBD.

Quick answers.
How is this different from a group chat?
A group chat is real-time and ephemeral. Rooted is asynchronous and accumulates — a year in, you can scroll back through how the group's been doing.
When does it leave beta?
Public launch TBD — confirm with user (bead brucelabs-biv.3).
How do I get in?
Email hello@brucelabs.io and I'll send a TestFlight invite.
