About
Nah
A private home for your closest people.
“Share with your circle, not the world.”
Nah (“Not Alone Here”) is a private social network limited to 150 friends — inspired by Path, built on modern open-source infrastructure, and designed to never compromise on intimacy.
Core Principles
- Small by design — 150 friends max (Dunbar’s number)
- Private by default — no public timelines, no algorithmic feeds
- Real friends, real moments — mutual friendships, rich moment sharing
- No algorithmic theater — chronological feed only, no engagement optimization
- Open source — community-funded, transparent, yours to verify
The Manifesto
- Small by design.
- Private by default.
- Real friends, real moments.
- No algorithmic theater.
- Viral? Nah. Vital.
