Modern Social Media Scatters Our Friendships
We want to stay close to people who matter, but existing tools fail us. They're designed for convenience, not connection.
Context Collapse
Can't be vulnerable when your boss, mom, and high school rival are all watching
Endless Noise
No structure for depth—just logistics, memes, and notifications that never stop
Algorithmic Outrage
Debate over dialogue; designed to amplify conflict, not connection
Aesthetic Pressure
The perfection tax kills authentic sharing. Everything must look beautiful
Engagement Addiction
Designed to maximize screen time, not meaningful time with real people
Solo Echo Chamber
Reflection without connection—you talk to yourself, never to others
But isn't
regularly talking
to our
closest people
the thing that
matters most
?
We don't need more followers, more likes, or more content. We need structured space to be real with the people we already care about.
Create Your Circles
Small, trusted groups of 2-8 people. Your close friends, your family, your partner. The people you actually want to know better.

One Question Each Week
Every Monday, your circle gets a thoughtful prompt. Questions designed to spark real conversations—not small talk.
"What's a place you've visited that changed how you see the world?"
"What's something your family does that you want to pass on?"
"What's the best meal you've ever had, and who were you with?"
"What's a fear you've outgrown, and how did you do it?"
"What's a belief you held as a child that you no longer believe?"
"What's one thing you wish you could tell your younger self?"
"What's a tradition you'd love to start with the people you love?"
"What does home mean to you right now?"
Real Answers, Real Connection
Everyone answers before seeing others' responses. No groupthink. Just honest reflections that bring you closer.
"That tiny fishing village in Portugal. No WiFi, just sunsets and strangers who became friends."
— Anna
"Sunday dinners where phones go in a basket. It's the only rule, and it changes everything."
— James
"Homemade pasta at my grandmother's. She's gone now, but I still smell flour when I miss her."
— Sophie
"I used to be terrified of public speaking. Started a podcast to face it. Now I crave the mic."
— John
"That success means being busy. Turns out the best moments are the slow ones."
— Marcus
"To stop waiting for permission. You're allowed to take up space."
— Emma
Week by week, question by question, you'll understand each other in ways you never expected.
What Makes It Different
Colloquies isn't just another messaging app. It's designed from the ground up for depth, not convenience.
Small Circles Only
Intimacy dies in large groups. We enforce a ceiling of 2–8 people so everyone can be honest without performing for a crowd.
Blind Answers First
You must share your answer before seeing anyone else's. This eliminates groupthink and ensures everyone contributes authentically.
Weekly Rhythm
Not daily pressure, not monthly distance. One thoughtful prompt every Monday gives you space to reflect and respond meaningfully.
Private & Encrypted
End-to-end encryption means your conversations stay between your people. Colloquies is a paid app with a generous free tier, which means we don't need to sell or view any of your data. No ads, no algorithm mining your intimacy, just pure connection.
What We Believe
Colloquies is not built to maximize engagement. It's built to maximize meaning.
Privacy is Sacred
Your reflections are yours, not our data. End-to-end encrypted. No ads, no data mining, no surveillance.
Slow is Good
One question a week is enough. We're anti-hustle, intentionally slow. Depth over breadth, always.
Free Tier
Chat forever free. Real value, not a teaser. We want you to experience depth before you pay.
Thoughtfully Designed
No endless scrolling, no like buttons, no algorithmic feeds. Just one question, one week, one circle.
