Citerne

The people you care about send you links all the time — an article worth
reading, a video to watch, a track to discover. And those links drown
in your conversations, between memes and "yeah, saw that." You find them
again three days later, lost in the scroll, or never.

Citerne is the opposite of a messaging app. Friends pour links into a
personal stream that quietly waits for you. You sip them when you have
the time, with no insistent notifications, no pressure to reply.

— How it works —

• Your friends "pour" a link from any app (YouTube, news, Spotify,
TikTok, Instagram, anything else) straight to you or to a channel
you share.

• You receive it in your stream — with a clean preview, no overlays,
no algorithm deciding for you.

• When you've got the time, you sip: read, watch, listen, then mark
as sipped. Your stream drains at your own pace.

• Links you want to keep go into your reservoir, saved for later.

— What Citerne is not —

• Not a public feed, no algorithmic "discovery."
• No likes, no comments, no social score.
• No push notifications on every pour.
• No ads, no data resale.

— Who it's for —

For groups of friends who share a lot of content and are tired of
seeing those shares get lost in WhatsApp, Signal or Messenger. For
people who want to stay connected through what they enjoy together,
without the noise of an always-on conversation.

Citerne is in early access. The app evolves with the feedback of its
first users.
