Circle
For updates too small for Instagram, but nicer than WhatsApp
Circle – Private micro-updates for your closest friends
Summary: Circle is a minimal social platform designed for sharing brief, disappearing updates exclusively with 2–5 close contacts. It eliminates followers, discovery, and public performance, focusing on intimate, casual communication.
What it does
Circle enables users to post small daily updates that vanish, accessible only to a tight group of existing friends without public exposure or audience metrics.
Who it's for
It is intended for individuals seeking a private space to share casual updates with a small circle of 2–5 people they already communicate with.
Why it matters
Circle addresses the lack of a non-performative, private channel for sharing minor life updates without the pressure of public social media or cluttered group chats.
