About Above
Every social app uses an algorithm to decide what you see. They rank content, bury real connections behind ads, and feed you whatever keeps you scrolling longest. We thought that was broken.
Above is a social platform with no algorithm. You set your filters, browse verified profiles at your own pace, and join hangouts when something catches your eye. No feeds. No AI deciding your social life. Just you, choosing for yourself.
How We're Different
Other apps show you what they want you to see. Above shows you everyone who fits your criteria and lets you decide. No hidden ranking, no engagement tricks, no profiles buried behind a paywall. You browse freely and join hangouts that actually interest you.
Every member on the platform is verified. That is the quality filter. Not an algorithm.
Our Values
Autonomy
You decide who you see and who you talk to. No algorithm makes that choice for you.
Privacy
Your profile, your data, your conversations. We never sell personal information to third parties.
Safety
Identity verification, profile moderation, and reporting tools to keep our community trustworthy.
Quality
We'd rather have 1,000 members who are genuinely right for each other than 1 million who aren't.

If you are tired of letting an algorithm decide your social life, Above is where you start choosing for yourself.
