Ready to Share.
Your best recent photos appear at the top of your feed, ready to post with a single tap. On-device AI finds great shots from your camera roll. Everything stays on your phone — nothing is uploaded or analyzed on a server.
Your 50 closest people, all in one place.
Real Friends gives you space for up to 50 friends. That number comes from anthropologist Robin Dunbar's research on close human relationships—the people you trust, confide in, and make real effort to see. When every person in your feed is someone you genuinely care about, sharing feels easy and natural.
See everything your friends share.
Your feed shows posts from your friends, most recent first. Every update from the people in your circle, in order, right when they share it. You'll never miss a moment from someone who matters to you.
Your circle. Your space.
Everything you share on Real Friends stays between you and your friends. Your posts, your profile, your photos are only visible to the people you've chosen to be in your circle. It's a space that belongs to you and the people you trust.
Why 50?
Anthropologist Robin Dunbar spent decades studying human relationships. His research found that we can maintain roughly 50 close relationships—the people we trust, confide in, and make real effort to see.
We built Real Friends around that number because it creates something special: a feed where every post is from someone you care about, every like means something, and every comment is a real conversation.
When you can only have 50 friends, every connection is intentional. You save room for the people who matter. And that changes how everything feels.
“Your 50 closest people, all in one place.”
