Are you tired of social media?
So are we.
It’s time to return to the way social media used to be! Real people. Real life. Real photos and videos. Real discussions. And no bots or AI.
(And no more unexplained bans or face scans!🙅♀️)
Social Media is broken— we all know it. It may seem like nothing can change that, but that is an illusion. It does not require many people to change the course of social media — all because of a little thing called “the network effect”
So why hasn’t it happened yet? Two reasons — lack of a better option — and apathy. Well folks, it’s time to rejoice. The first version of Octopii has finally released on the App Store. All we have to do now is sign up, invite our friends to the app, start posting, and if you really want to make a splash😉— let your friends know Octopii is where we'll be sharing from now on!
This will initiate the network effect — after sending your invites just stay active in the community, keep reminding your friends how awesome Octopii is, and Octopii will become the new go-to place to connect with others. The world is primed and ready to do this, more than ever before — so lets finally do it!!
And remember folks, this is just the beginning! Octopii is going to become more fun than you ever imagined a social app could be! There are so many improvements and cool features coming — just stick with it!!
Come join us in the deep end, the water’s fine.😎
Android coming by the end of April!

Global Map View
See what’s happening.
Anyone. Anywhere. Anytime.
Just like the planet, everyone shares the map.
Zoom in on a stadium, a music festival, or anything important to you — and see what’s happening at that location in real time.
The best part?
You can trust what you see with Octopii’s IRL badges.
Don’t want to share your location? Stick to private posts!
1 person or 100
Audience Circles let you choose who gets to see each post — or even just individual friends🤫
Did you know?
The audience of each post is private to you. If you create a post visible to only one friend they won’t know it’s for their eyes only 👀
Expectations😌
Communication happens when it makes sense. Private posts are silent invitations — not a demand like DMs.🙅
Comments on private posts always begin as one-on-one conversations
Receiving 5 comments is like starting 5 private conversations — instead of 5 random people from your friends list all talking in the same room😳
That doesn’t happen in real life, so why does it happen on social media posts?
The best part?
You can add more friends to the thread at any time!
Private Threads
Be yourself with each friend.
Cover your tracks
Activity Privacy Mode allows you to post publicly, comment and react on friends’ posts, all without triggering any notifications to mutual friends🤫
Did you know?
You’ll still send notifications for direct-to-friend actions, such as DMs, comments and reactions on their posts — but your other friends won’t be notified.
Judgement😌
Just toggle it on before you want to make a public post or interact with a friend’s post — no mutual friends will be notified.
Feel that? That’s called low-stress social media.
Trust in IRL.
Let’s go back to the days when filters and AI didn’t exist.
IRL Badges are applied to any image captured with the Octopii app — this badge means the image is completely unedited, unfiltered and not generated by AI. It’s an exact copy from the camera sensor.
For the first time in the history of social media — you can 100% trust what you see.
Bots & Trolls
Did you know?
50-70% of social media traffic is driven by bots — most of which are the bad kind intentionally seeking to divide and enrage users. Octopii is saving the internet by putting an end to the division created by bots and bad actors from around the world.
How do we do it?
👉 We require a carrier-validated phone number — bots and trolls take advantage of platforms which only require an e-mail address — but that’s not possible on Octopii.
👉 We detect and ban suspicious accounts — and we have a very low tolerance for repeat offenders.
👉 We display the city and state of every public post and comment so you have a better idea of who you’re talking to.
👉 We use IRL badges to thwart fake and deceptive images — you can finally 100% trust what you see on social media.
Come on in, the water’s fine.😎
