Facebook, but for real friends
No ads. No data mining. No algorithm. Just genuine updates from the people who actually matter to you, delivered weekly.
- Your data sold to thousands of advertisers
- Algorithm decides what you see
- Ads disguised as friend updates
- Designed to keep you scrolling endlessly
- Miss updates from close friends
- Cluttered with groups, marketplace, events
Friends Weekly
- Your data stays private — never sold or shared
- You control what you see — chronological feed only
- Zero ads, ever — sustainable business model
- Weekly digest — be present, not addicted
- Never miss updates from actual friends
- One simple purpose — stay in touch with friends
Your Privacy. Protected.
We believe staying in touch shouldn't come at the cost of your personal data
No Data Selling
We use basic analytics to improve the app, but we never sell your data, build shadow profiles, or share your information with advertisers.
No Targeted Ads
There are no ads at all. We make money from optional premium features, not by selling your attention.
You Own Your Data
Your updates are saved in your weekly email newsletters. Delete your account and it's all gone. No "deactivate" games — we mean actually deleted.
Remember when Facebook was about connecting with friends?
Before the algorithm, the ads, and the endless noise — it was simple. It was about keeping up with the people you care about. That's what we've built.
