All new for iOS. Ad-free and algorithm-free since 2011.
Since 2011, Are.na has been the platform of choice for creative researchers, designers, artists, academics, and rabbit-hole enthusiasts.
Completely independent, free from ads, algorithms, and unhealthy business practices, Are.na is a calm, thoughtful space for you to connect your ideas and build new ones.
- Save any kind of content into collections.
- Organize links, videos, images, and texts in a clean, distraction-free space.
- Share ideas and collaborate on projects with anyone, anywhere.

So easy to save anything, see what others are saving and quickly organize everything in whatever way I want. Can’t believe I went all this time not knowing about this app. Insta paid upgrade to premium after using it for a few minutes. No regrets.
New UI

After the new UI/UX update late 2025, it improved so many bugs and bad features. It made the experience way more useable and makes me want to use the app way more.
Better than Tumblr

A friend put me into this platform and it’s really revived my interest in online spaces. I think it’s what I loved about tumblr and what I wish Pinterest was. Glad I landed here.
Excellent
