Design you can explain
The feed ends, video doesn't autoplay, and there are no public like counts. Concrete design choices are easier to teach than abstract advice.
For schools
Digital wellbeing, built into the product
Tribela is a social and entertainment app designed without infinite scroll, autoplay or public like counts. For schools, that makes it a practical example of what responsible design looks like — and a place students can actually enjoy.
What schools get
Audience literacy built in
Every post asks who it's for — Only You, Connections or Public — before it's shared. Privacy becomes a habit, not a hidden setting.
Age-aware safeguards
Moderation weighs age, context and risk, with AI-supported systems alongside human review.
Compliance partners
We work with K-ID on youth compliance and age assurance in the UK and Australia. Tribela was incubated at Oxford University Innovation.
Creative, not clinical
Photos, video, voice notes and writing, plus creator and community spaces — a real social experience, not parental-control software.
Cohort support
We can support a school cohort with a dedicated link so students arrive in an active community rather than an empty feed.
Common questions
What age group is Tribela for?
Tribela accounts are for ages 13 and over, in line with our Terms. The App Store's 9+ rating describes content suitability, not the minimum registration age.
Is there a cost for schools?
No. Tribela is free to download and free to use, with no advertising.
How is harmful content handled?
Moderation considers age, context and level of risk, with AI-supported detection working alongside human review.
