Know what's really going on with your friends.
Not their highlight reel. Not their personal brand.
Just their Tuesday. Authentic is a space for the friends you already have — the ones you'd text back immediately.
See their real days. Let them see yours. Feel closer without trying.
Open the app. See your friends. Close the app.
There's no infinite scroll because there's nothing to scroll through.
No algorithm deciding what you see. No ads interrupting. Check in on your people, then get back to your life.
I built Authentic because I got tired of losing hours to apps designed to keep me hooked. This one wants you present, not addicted.
The app picks the moment. Not you.
Post whenever you want — that part's familiar. But once a day, Glimpses gives you a random 2-minute window to share whatever's happening right now.
No time to stage it. No filter. Just life, mid-motion. Your friends see the version of you that exists between the posts. And you see theirs. That's where real closeness lives.
Your moments stay yours.
I'm a solo founder, and I made a decision early: no ads, no data sales, no exceptions.
Your conversations with your friends shouldn't be a product.
I'm building end-to-end encryption next—what you share here isn't training data, it's your life.
We're hiring!
We're building something different here. We're hunting for cracked talents to ignite the next phase.
