A social network off the grid – mobile and available on Android

Manyverse is a social networking app with features you would expect: posts, likes, profiles, private messages, etc. But it’s not running in the cloud owned by a company, instead, your friends’ posts and all your social data live entirely in your phone. This way, even when you’re offline, you can scroll, read anything, and even write posts and like content! When your phone is back online, it syncs the latest updates directly with your friends’ phones, through a shared local Wi-Fi or on the internet.

We’re building this free and open source project as a community effort because we believe in non-commercial, neutral, and fair mobile communication for everyone.

( Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux)

    Last release was in July 2024. Last merge in August 2024. Not available (in the US) on the Play Store or F-Droid. Did not try downloading the apk from their website because no.

    I think this one may be headed down for the long sleep.

    I’m curious how the sync is pulled off without a central server. Unless you port forward to your phone, device-to-device sync is always difficult without something in the middle.

      iirc it’s a shiny UI around Secure Scuttlebutt, so it can do either direct syncing, or use public relays.
