Build An App: From Newsmast

Patchwork is a powerful social media app and technology package enabling your organisation to control your own social media platform, built around your content, and your community.

Put your brand, values and content in people’s hands, in the place where they spend their online lives - their phones. Centred on a dedicated Channel for your community of users.

Patchwork is the app for a new digital public space built around independent, trustworthy media. Building out from your content and community, Patchwork connects you with a global movement of activists and pioneers working for social change.

CONNECTED COMMUNITIES Patchwork is a part of the open social web - a network of interoperable apps and communities talking to each other. Using Patchwork you can connect with users on Mastodon, Bluesky and beyond. A new, lively and thriving social media community showing how it can be done differently.

THE NEWSMAST FOUNDATION Patchwork is developed and delivered by the Newsmast Foundation, a UK-based charity working to use social media to share knowledge, for good.
