Raft is your own private, chronological
feed with only your closest friends.
No algorithm. No ads. No AI. Just your people, holding on.
Raft doesn’t want your attention. It wants you to see what your favorite people are up to, smile, and get back to your day.
Your raft holds up to fifty people you actually know, joined by private invite link only. No followers, no strangers, no discover tab, and nothing to grow.
Newest first, oldest last, and when you’ve seen everything, the feed simply ends. No ranking, no “suggested for you”, no machine deciding which friends matter.
Photos, videos and little updates, reacted to privately by people who love you. No public like counts, no view counters, nothing to perform for.
Your memories belong to you. Raft is built so that no company can ever take them away. Not even ours.
Every post, photo, video and comment exports in one tap, in open formats and full resolution, free. Importing back is just as easy.
Run the full app on your own server, with every feature and no license fees. We make it genuinely easy. No one can shut your raft down but you.
Start on our servers, move to yours next year, come back later. Migration is free in both directions, and your whole circle comes with you.
Same app, same features, same easy exit. The only question is whose server it sleeps on.
We run it, back it up, and keep it afloat.
$0 up to 8 people · then $4/month for up to 50
You run it. You own it. Completely.
Free forever, every feature included
Either way, exporting your content is always free.
Your raft keeps floating. The software is self-hostable, so the app can outlive the business, and you can export your data in open formats at any time. We built Raft after watching too many beloved networks take everyone’s memories down with them. We still miss Path.
No. Never, in any form, hosted or self-hosted. There is no AI in Raft at all: no generated captions, no smart ranking, no chatbot. Just a feed of your friends, in the order they posted.
Past fifty people it stops being a raft and starts being an audience. The cap keeps it safe to share the real stuff: kids, health, feelings, bad haircuts.
If you have ever run anything with Docker, you will be done before your coffee cools: one command, a domain, and your raft is live. It runs on a standard stack underneath, so backups and migrations are simple.
Only through your private invite link. There is no username search, no suggestions, and no way for a stranger to find you. You choose everyone on board.
