Stamp is a quieter way to stay close to the people who matter. No ads, no strangers, no algorithm. 50% of our profit funds community causes voted on by members every year — written into the company's Articles, not into marketing copy.
Most social apps want your attention, sell it, and leave you worse off. Stamp asks for the opposite — a small, deliberate moment each day, shared only with people you already know and like.
Hard cap, local midnight. Not a guideline. You think about the post because it's the only one you get.
No strangers, no followers, no public profile. Every person on Stamp is someone you chose to let in.
Your feed is what happened, in the order it happened. No algorithm, no "for you", no rage-bait bubbling.
We pay the bills through a tiny subscription. Your attention is not for sale. Not now, not ever.
Banners, sounds and lockscreen alerts are off by default — you open Stamp on your terms, never the other way around. The standard red badge stays so you know there's something there; you decide when to look.
We don't sell it. We don't share it. Delete your account and everything goes with it — no recovery.
No minors. Hate, harassment and illegal content mean permanent account termination. No warnings.
We resisted every feature that didn't belong. What's left is the bit that matters.
Up to three photos. A caption. Optional location. Published only to the people in your circle. You cannot post again until tomorrow.
Connections are mutual. You request, they accept. That's your circle. You can also build smaller inner circles for different crowds.
Mark what mornings or evenings you're free. Create in-person events, invite people, RSVP as going / maybe / no.
Four tiny word games that keep a gentle streak alive. You come back because the app is calm, not because it's desperate.
50% of profit goes to four community causes voted on by members each year. The other 50% covers the founder share — salary, reinvestment, future growth. Every pound is publicly reported quarterly.
Most companies that claim to give back either (a) quietly donate a tiny fraction or (b) use charity as marketing. Stamp's commitment is structural: the 50% charitable share is written into the company's Articles of Association, so it survives any future funding, any sale, any change of leadership. Reversing it requires a board vote that will be visible to every member.
Each year, four organisations split the Foundation share for twelve months. The first cohort is being curated with the beta community across these eight category shortlists, then narrowed by a member vote. Final partners named before public launch.
Stamp Ltd is a UK company; the 50% Foundation distribution clause is being filed with UK counsel before the first paying user is charged. The mechanism is a legally-binding clause in the Articles of Association — simple, material, and visible to every member.
One price, everyone pays. Less than a pint, more than a coffee, safely under the £5 cliff where people start comparing it to Netflix. Pay annually for £30 / year and save £6.
Every new member starts free. Invite a friend who joins and you get an extra free day. Uncapped.
Or £30/year if you'd rather not think about it. Same app either way — just less admin.
One plan covers everything. If you build a big circle later, we'll think about creator plans — not before.
Play one of the four daily word games every day for a year and we plant a real tree in your name through our partners at Ecologi or Tree-Nation. The game streak is the only gamified part of Stamp — it's deliberately tiny, and this is what it unlocks.
Daily tree-planting turns into marketing theatre. Once a year for a 365-day game streak says: you showed up quietly every day, and that's worth a real thing in the world. It also keeps the programme small enough to actually fund from the charity share — and big enough to matter as it scales.
Open to brand partners who share the same ethic — Patagonia is at the top of that list. If that conversation happens, members get more than one tree per streak and the programme scales faster. Until then, it's funded quietly out of the Foundation share.
Everything below is built, deployed, and being used daily by the first batch of testers. No waiting lists, no mocked screenshots.
Every post you tag with a place lands a pin on a real 3D globe of your life. Tap a pin to fly to that memory. Country flags collect quietly into a passport — a record of where your life has actually been, shared with your circle. No other social app does this.
Save the posts you love through the year. On 1 January we email you a beautifully laid-out digital photobook of everything you kept — yours forever, even if you delete the app. We're partnering with a printer so you can also order a physical copy at cost (no profit). No other social app gives you something tangible back.
Pin a 30-second song from Apple's catalog to your profile and to any individual stamp. Auto-plays as your circle scrolls past. Your life with its own score.
Photo at the top, caption underneath. Chronological, no algorithm. Photos OR 30-second videos. Owner-only "Seen by" list when you turn the card over.
Reactions, quoted replies, voice notes, photo-stage before send, pinned chats, group info, mute, swipe-to-mark-unread, scheduled sends. Fully on Supabase with realtime.
Leaf, Root, Branch and Hive — a one-a-day mix of word play, including a proper Spelling Bee. Keeps your Beanstalk streak alive. Seasonal + daily ladder per circle.
Plan anything with your circle. Invite individuals or a whole inner circle in one tap. Going / Maybe / No — sticky.
Private groups within your circle — Family, Work, Close friends. Sync across all your devices. For your eyes only.
Tag friends in a post — they see a notification, nothing auto-posts to their profile. The opposite of every other social app's tag mechanic.
Now in TestFlight beta on iOS — invite-only while we settle the closed group of testers. Roadmap before public launch: payments (Stripe + Apple/Google IAP), push notifications, App Store + Google Play submission. End-to-end encryption for messages follows in a later wave, post-500 daily-active members.
iOS TestFlight, invite-only while the first batch of testers settle in. Drop us a line and we'll send you a TestFlight link.
Yes, and it's in our terms. The subscription is how we pay the bills. Selling attention — ads, sponsored posts, "boosted" content — will never be a line in our revenue. If we ever had to back that up legally, we will.
Members. A shortlist is curated each year with input from the community, published in December, and voted on by anyone with an active account. The winning organisations receive the year's distribution in Q1. Every transfer is reported publicly the following year.
No. One human, one account. Impersonation or "alt" accounts are a termination offence. It's part of how we keep Stamp honest.
They go. Tap Profile → Settings → Delete account and your posts, your circle records and every photo or voice note tied to you are wiped from our live database immediately. Our automatic backups roll off within 7 days, after which it's gone from there too. There's no "archive" we keep quietly.
Because ad-funded social platforms are financially incentivised to keep you upset and scrolling. The incentive creates the product. We don't want that incentive. Making everyone pay a little — including us — aligns everyone.
Founded by Tom Binza in the UK. Stamp is built and operated 24/7 by a small specialist agent bench — engineering, design, strategy, legal, finance and marketing — co-ordinated by Tom. We're deliberately small. The product is small, the team should be too.
The iOS app is in TestFlight beta now — invite-only, closed group of testers using it daily. Android submission follows once the iOS beta settles. Stamp is app-only by design: there's no web version, because the experience we want to ship lives on a phone.
Stamp Ltd (UK company, registration in progress) is the data controller. EU/UK GDPR rights apply: access, rectify, erase, port.
