Encrypted private social networks
Want actual privacy?
You are
not the
product here.
Every other network monetizes the people you love. IronCircles generates your own encrypted social network that is invite-only, mined by no one, owned by its members.
More than a group chat
Everything your group needs, in one private, encrypted app.
Most groups juggle a chat app, a shared photo album, a calendar and a list app. IronCircles puts all of it in one place, and only the people in your group can see it.
Albums
Photos and video in hi-res, seen only by the circle. Privacy+ lifts the free upload limits.
Events
Where and when, Yes, Maybe or No RSVPs with guest counts, and one calendar across your circles.
Lists
Groceries, packing, chores. Check items off together, assign them, set due dates, reuse as templates.
Votes & polls
Settle dinner with a poll, or decide who joins and how the circle runs by majority or unanimous vote.
Recipes
Ingredients, steps, times and a photo. The family versions, in one place.
Credentials
Shared logins, the wifi password, cards and two-factor codes, with a built-in password generator.
Games
Daily puzzles, solo arcade and card games, and chess, checkers and poker with the people in your circles.
