A DiffWeb private circle with a poll and a plan
Polls and plans

Decide together, without the chaos.

Ask the group, see the votes live, and plan a meetup with who is going, maybe or can’t. No more scrolling through 200 messages to find the date.

An anonymous post and a time capsule in a DiffWeb circle
Anonymous posts and time capsules

Say it anonymously. Or seal it for later.

Post as “Anonymous member” when you want honest answers. Or write a time capsule that stays sealed until a day you choose, even years from now.

Only on DiffWeb

Four things your group chat can't do.

Say it anonymously

Post without your name and get honest answers from your class, office or family. Members only see "Anonymous member": not even the circle owner knows who wrote it. The owner can switch it off.

Time capsules

Write to your future selves. Seal a post for tomorrow, a month, a year, or any day up to 5 years away. Everyone sees it's waiting; nobody can read it until the day it opens.

Polls that end the debate

Stop scrolling through 200 messages to count votes. Ask a question with up to 4 answers. Results appear after you vote, so nobody just follows the crowd.

Plans that actually happen

Date, time and place in one card. Everyone taps Going, Maybe or Can't go, and you see who's coming at a glance.

Plus: posts that disappear after 24 hours · a group chat with photos and voice notes · all your circle's photos in one place · profiles only your circles can see.

Why not just a group chat?

Made for close friends, not for everyone.

Why Private Circles

Like a social network. Only for your people.

A feed just for you

Post updates and photos. Your circle can like and comment. Newest first, no algorithm.

Group chat built in

Every circle has a chat too, with photos and voice notes. Switch between Feed and Chat in one tap.

Invitation only

People join only with your invite link. Replace the link any time, or remove someone instantly.

Invisible to outsiders

No public profiles, no search, no "people you may know". Nobody outside can find your circle or its posts.

End-to-end encrypted

Posts, photos, comments and chats are locked on your device. Only members can read them, not even DiffWeb. Just a username: no email or phone.

Safe by design

Owners can remove posts and people. Anyone can report a post. Illegal content is never allowed.

Posts that disappear

Share a quick update that's gone after 24 hours, like a story, but only for your circle.

Your photo album

Every photo shared in the circle, in one place. Location data is removed on your phone before upload.

Good to know

Private Circles: your questions

What is a Private Circle?

A private feed for a small group of up to 20 people, like close friends, family or classmates. Post photos and updates, comment, vote in polls, plan meetups and chat together.

Who can see my posts?

Only the members of your circle. Posts, photos and comments are end-to-end encrypted, so not even DiffWeb can read them. There are no public profiles and no followers.

How do anonymous posts work?

Choose Anonymous before you post. Members see "Anonymous member" instead of your name, even the circle owner.

What is a time capsule?

A post sealed until a date you choose. Members only see that a capsule is waiting, and everyone can read it once it opens.

How do people join my circle?

Share your circle's private invite link. They sign up with just a username and join. You can remove members at any time.

Can I use my Saved Rooms account?

Yes. One DiffWeb account works for Saved Rooms, Anonymous Chat and Private Circles.

Ready?

Close friends. Closed doors.

Free. Invite only. Hidden from everyone else.
