Why we built Snickerdoodle
We wanted to quit social media too — the ads, the strangers, the rage bait, the algorithm deciding what we get to see. So we built a quieter place to share with the people we actually know.
Read our story →Snickerdoodle is the part of social media you weren't trying to quit. It's the private place to stay close to the friends and family in your life. Share photos, videos, and what you're up to — with no ads, no algorithm, and no strangers... just the people you choose.

Social media got loud, and full of ads and AI-generated filler.
We built something quieter.
Nothing is public. Ever. Your posts are seen by your friends and, if you choose, their friends — never by strangers, search engines, or the open web. You decide for every post.
No follower counts. No like-chasing. Just content from people you actually know.
Free apps are paid for with your attention and your data. Here, a simple subscription — $4.99/month or $49.99/year — replaces that whole model. We don't sell your information. It belongs to you.
No algorithm, no AI-generated filler — your main feed is every post from your friends, newest first, and with one tap, their friends' posts too. Nothing buried, nothing deciding what you should see. This isn't a popularity contest. This is your friends' content in real-time.
Have 1-on-1 and group conversations with friends. Friends can also invite their friends to conversations with you, just like introducing in person — the old fashioned way.
Social media wasn't supposed to raise your heart rate. Without strangers, bots, and rage bait in your feed, it doesn't have to.
“What a relief to share my pics with my friends and family without ads and stupid algorithms!”
“Please check this out if you are tired of the irritating ads that seem to be taking over other social media. I really like it!”
“I beta tested this app and it’s super user friendly and completely ad free!”
All three of these members were given a free membership.
A private app is only as good as the people in it, so bringing them in is built right into it.
Share an invite link from the app, or let someone scan your QR code in person. Once they join, you’re connected — no searching, no requests from strangers.
Each person subscribes for themselves, so nobody’s account depends on someone else’s card. Founding members can give lifetime memberships away — someone who gets one of those never pays. How founding memberships work
Your feed fills up as your people join, and nothing else fills it in the meantime — no suggested accounts, no strangers, no ads.
No. We don’t sell or share your personal information, and there are no ads. Your subscription is what pays for Snickerdoodle. See our Privacy Policy.
Only your friends — and, if you choose for that post, their friends. Nothing is public, and nothing shows up in search engines.
Everything travels between the app and our servers over an encrypted connection (HTTPS/TLS), and our database backups are encrypted. Posts and messages are not end-to-end encrypted.
Yes — each person has their own membership. The exception is a gift: founding members can give lifetime memberships, and anyone who receives one never pays.
A free version would have to be paid for some other way, and on social media that means ads or your data. A subscription keeps it simple: you pay for the app, so the app works for you.
From your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. You keep access until the end of the period you’ve paid for. Billing details
Nothing is deleted. Cancelling doesn’t delete your account, so your posts are still there if you come back. To remove everything, delete your account in the app under Privacy & Data.
Same app, same features. Yearly is $49.99, which saves 17% compared with 12 months at $4.99. Founding memberships are only available on the yearly plan.
