Just your inner circle
Only for iPhone

Remember when social media felt personal? Before algorithms decided what you see. Before your feed became influencers, ads, and people you met once at a party in 2015.
Social media lost its way. We're bringing it back.
Your Inner Circle, Your Rules
Ciao connects you with real friends from your contacts, not influencers, not brands, not strangers. Just the humans you actually care about.
Only mutual contacts can connect. If they're not in your phone, they can't see your life. No public profiles. No follower counts. No strangers scrolling through your memories.
Create custom groups. Family, Close Friends, Work Buddies, College Crew. Your circles, organized the way you think about them.
Every post, your choice. Share with everyone, specific groups, or hand-pick individuals. Finally, sharing that respects your boundaries.
Double-tap to show love. No pressure. No public metrics. Your moments aren't a popularity contest.
Your contacts are your network. No friend requests. No follow-backs. No complicated privacy settings. If you can text them, you can share with them.
What Makes Us Different
Social apps today are designed to keep you scrolling, not connecting. They prioritize reach over relationships. Virality over intimacy. Growth over genuine moments.
We built Ciao on a simple belief: the best social network is the one you already have, your real friends and family.
No algorithmic feed. See posts from people, in order.
No public profiles for anyone to browse.
No follower or following dynamics.
No endless scroll designed to waste your time.
No pressure to perform for an audience.
Perfect For
Families wanting a private space for updates and photos.
Friend groups tired of oversharing to hundreds of acquaintances.
People who value meaningful connections over metrics.
Anyone who misses when sharing online felt safe and fun.
Stop broadcasting. Start connecting. Ciao is for your real life, shared with your real people.
