Skylight Social is ideal for users who want a transparent, customizable social media experience with full control over their feed and digital identity
About Skylight
Skylight Social is a user-first social media app designed to give people full control over their feed and online experience. It lets users actually see posts from the people they follow without opaque algorithms getting in the way. Skylight allows you to decide what appears in your feed and what does not, putting your interests front and center. Built on the AT Protocol, the same open network powering tens of millions of users, Skylight ensures your content and audience are never locked into a single platform. This open foundation allows users to move freely while keeping their identity and connections intact. Skylight is built as a Public Benefit Corporation, aligning its mission with user trust and transparency. The app is available on both iOS and Android, making it easy to join and take control of your social feed.

The web. Email. RSS feeds. XMPP chats. What all these technologies had in common is they allowed people to freely interact and create content, without a single intermediary. We‘re building the AT Protocol, a new foundation for social networking which gives creators independence from platforms, developers the freedom to build, and users a choice in their experience.

UpScrolled
UpScrolled is a mobile-first social media platform committed to giving users freedom of expression without opaque algorithmic control. It rejects shadowbanning, algorithmic favoritism, and hidden censorship, instead providing a transparent chronological feed for users they follow and a “discover” feed with light ranking based on engagement and recency. UpScrolled prohibits data monetization, user data is never sold, and enforces moderation only through clear rules by human review, not by hidden manipulation of reach. The app supports the core social features users expect; image and video posts of various lengths, stories or short-form content, chatting, following others, and regional trending topics. It encourages authentic, creator-centric sharing and calls itself an “alternative to Meta, X, or TikTok,” positioning itself as a platform for marginalized voices, grassroots activists, creators, small businesses, and everyday users seeking a fairer online space.
