Kiyo is a personal media app, designed so you can engage meaningfully with the people who mean something to you, rather than browse #content by #influencers. If you feel exhausted by social media –– by the pressure to stay 'on brand' –– and want a more freeing & personal outlet, then we think Kiyo is for you!

Loved the list app and I'd love to try this app too, but sadly I switched to a Google Pixel. Best of luck, though. The app looks really cool!

@rileyrichter Google is starting to worry me about the way they control things lately in the news and searches.

Anything that can make social media truly social and personal again is a big thumbs up from me. The design looks nice. Look forward to trying it out if it comes to Android! :)

That was fast. "We're writing to let you know that as much as we loved making Kiyo, we've run out of time on it, and we'll be shutting it down soon. It’s tough news to share, especially since we heard just how deeply Kiyo resonated with many of you. It's a difficult landscape out there right now, and it was hard for us to find the level of traction and growth that we needed to take Kiyo to the next level. But we're incredibly proud that we were able to get it into people's hands and see that we weren't alone in wanting a more personal, less performative place to share. Kiyo will be shutting down on Friday, February 16th at Noon Pacific. If you'd like to preserve anything from the app, we recommend creating screen recordings flipping through your Kiyos. Here are simple directions for how. Thank you again for believing in Kiyo. We were truly overwhelmed with the spirit and enthusiasm of your messages of support and excitement. We'd be lying if we said we didn't build it for ourselves –– it was a refreshing, fun, low-pressure way to share and preserve the many different sides of our lives. We loved it. Hopefully something will come along soon that fulfills that hunger for healthier social media. Best, Team Kiyo"
