Most social media companies do everything to keep you onscreen. We do everything to get you connecting with your friends and community offscreen.

How it works

1

Share your week

Add your week and share calendars with friends. It only works both ways: you see each other once you've both said yes.

2

Make plans

Start one from a free evening or from something on in Tāmaki Makaurau. Invite friends, or send anyone a link.

3

A feed that ends

Choose your feeds and how many posts you want, delivered fresh every morning. When you're done, there's somewhere better to be.

Your account. Not ours.

offscreen is built on the AT Protocol, a new way to build social networks. This means you own the connections you make here and can take them with you to other apps if you ever leave.

With 40M+ accounts on the network, all your favourite creators and publishers are already here.

Questions answered

What is the AT Protocol?

Most social apps are walled gardens. They own your posts, connections, account and data. If someone builds a new innovative social media app it never takes off because your friends and followers are stuck on the original. This lack of competition leads to a lack of choice and that's bad for everyone except the people running the app.

offscreen is built differently. It's built on a decentralised network called the AT Protocol, meaning your account, your follows, and your posts belong to you. Anyone can build on the open protocol, so when a new innovative app comes along, all your connections and the content you love can appear there too without starting from scratch.

With 40M+ accounts already on the network, the people you want to follow are already there.

Can I log in with my Bluesky account?

Yes, you can log in with any account made on an AT Protocol app, including Bluesky.

Who can see my calendar?

Only people you've both agreed to share with. For each plan you choose whether they see the details or just that you're busy. Plans are never posted to Bluesky.

Can I bypass the post limit?

You set the limit of how many posts you want to see in a day but once you hit that limit your feed closes for the day, and offscreen will point you toward something on in Auckland instead. No way around it — the friction is the feature.
