TRIBELA — VOL. 01
You are not
the product.
You are a member. Tribela is the membership for people who want their attention back—without disappearing from the world.
FREE TO TRY · MEMBERSHIP €2.99/MONTH · NO ALGORITHM · NO ADS
The commute is yours again.
That 40 minutes on the train used to be yours. Then it became a loop of rage bait, drop shipping, and influencers selling you teeth whitener.
Tribela is where you catch up with an old friend, share what you're actually making, and post without performing. The space between the noise and the silence.
You arrive when you want. You leave when you want. The app does not hold you hostage.
§ THE RESISTANCE
— SILICON VALLEY, 2009
Slow down.
Build things that last.
Big tech moved fast. They broke our attention, our news, and the way we talk to each other — and called it progress.
We are building the opposite. A platform that takes its time. That fixes things before it adds them. That listens before it changes.
Slow is the new disruption.

§ THE FLEX
That's less than a latte.
It's also the price of leaving the cartel.
TikTok and Instagram don't charge you. They mine you.
Your scroll, your sleep, your taste, your time — sold to the highest bidder, then sold back to you as content.
That's the Attention Cartel. And you've been paying them in the only currency that doesn't grow back, your time.
Tribela is the way out.
€2.99 a month. No algorithm. No data harvest. No one selling your eyeballs while you sleep.
You're not a user. You're a member of the resistance.

§ THE ANTI-SALE
We are not "ad-free."
We are honest.
Every other app calls you a "user." They sell your attention to the highest bidder. They optimize for your addiction.
Tribela has partners. You will see them. But they don't track you. They don't interrupt you. They show up, say "hey, look at this," and leave.
You are the customer. Not the product. That is the deal.
"The membership isn't a fee.
It's a firewall."
§ THE NEXT GENERATION
Kids are already
on the internet.
We owe them a better one.
Pretending kids aren't online is a fairy tale adults tell each other to feel better. The honest answer isn't to lock them out — it's to build a place that was designed with them in mind from the first line of code.
So we did.
Tribela is the only social platform where children belong to their own quiet corner — visible to the people who love them, invisible to everyone else.
The next generation should not have to grow up as someone else's product.
- I
Private by default.
Under-16 accounts are invisible in the public feed. Their world is theirs — not strangers', not advertisers', not ours to surface.
- II
Their own community.
Kids connect with kids they actually know. No algorithmic introductions. No suggested adults sliding into a thirteen-year-old's day.
- III
No data, no ads.
We don't profile children. We don't sell to them. We don't dress engagement bait up as 'For You'. Childhood is not a market.
- IV
Built with the grown-ups who care.
Parents stay in the loop. Educators have a seat at the table. Safety partners shape the product before it ships, not after the headlines.
Other platforms protect their growth.
We protect the kids.
§ THE COMPANY WE KEEP
Incubated at Oxford.
Designed with serious people.
