I built Nörth to address a problem of my own: remote work loneliness.

For remote & hybrid workers like myself, we've lost the impromptu hallway banter and connections we made with our co-workers while working in an office. I hope to bring back some of what we've lost without throwing away what we've gained.

To start with, there's is no freeform text messaging in Nörth. Only voice message, videos, and links can be sent as a way to encourage more natural communication.

Throughout the day, drop in and out of virtual rooms to collaborate openly with your team or just chit-chat.

Hear your teammates in 3D space with support for Apple's Spatial Audio on supported hardware.

Everything in Nörth is peer-to-peer-first and end-to-end encrypted.

And as a cherry on top, Nörth has no subscription. Pay once and it's yours forever, with all 1.x updates included for free.

While Nörth doesn't solve loneliness attributed to remote work (no technology can), my intention is to relieve as much of the pain as possible for others who don't yet have the opportunity to work and collaborate in-person. 🤍

Available now on macOS.
