Most social media companies optimize for engagement. We optimize for understanding.
Follow your favorite thinkers and doers. We serve you a fresh set of posts every morning.
The waiting room gives you a moment to decide: open your feed, or go deeper with a book summary instead.
Once you've read your daily posts, we'll prompt you toward the ideas behind them, from our library of book summaries.
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.
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.
Yes, you can log in with any account made on an AT Protocol app, including Bluesky.
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 prompt you to read a book summary instead. No way around it — the friction is the feature.
