Stay connected with the people in your life—without the stress

We’re building an open source, privacy-focused social network

We're doing things. Differently.

The democratization of social networks is coming

Privacy-focused

Your Cabin is built as a fully private space. Keep it private, or open it up to the world—it's your call.

Algorithm-less

The only things you'll see in your feed are posts from your friends and topics you follow. No manipulation tactics.

Open source

Cabin is open source under the MIT license. Let’s team up to build a better future for everyone!

Fighting misinformation

We'll leverage machine learning and community reporting in our ongoing fight against misinformation.

Customize your profile

We're giving users the power of profile customization. It's your Cabin; give it some character!

Alternative monetization

We're exploring some creative ways of generating revenue, none of which take advantage of our users.

General

When can I sign up?

You can join the waitlist now! We'll email you with updates as work on Cabin progresses.

Will Cabin be free?

Yep, Cabin will forever be free to use. We will naturally have to figure out a sustainable monetization strategy because apps like Cabin are expensive to maintain. We're currently exploring various monetization strategies.

Is Cabin similar to Facebook?

Cabin and Facebook are both social networks, but with fundamentally different approaches to operating. Cabin is fully transparent, and is an open source platform.

Will Cabin have mobile apps?

Cabin will be available on iOS, Android, and web.

Can I contribute to the development of Cabin?

Absolutely! Please get in touch with us and we'll respond to you within 24-48 hours. In the meantime, check out our GitHub and Discord server.

Circles

What is a Circle?

A circle is simply a group of Cabin users. Circles are a place for friends to share photos or videos of lived experiences, or to have meaningful conversations, or simply to remanence.

Can anyone create a Circle?

Any Cabin user can create a Circle at any time.

Do I have to pay to create a circle?

Never. Circles will always be free. That said, we may explore monetization in the form of power-up's (think Trello).

Privacy and security

How does Cabin protect my data?

Cabin uses end-to-end encryption for all communications and stores minimal data necessary for operation. We are committed to privacy-first design.
