The turning of a new year has never been a cure for what ails us: when the calendar tips from December to January, we wake up and realize that all of the challenges and risks we were facing before are still here.
Still, it’s a good moment to take stock. And at Sunslider, we’re proud of what we started to build in 2025.
Sunslider is an alternative social network designed for people who want a social experience without ads, invasive tracking, or manipulative algorithms. It puts authenticity and user control back at the center, instead of chasing virality and attention at all costs.
What we’ve been building:
A new social network that puts normal users back at the center, by focusing on authenticity rather than manipulation;
A brand that is always looking for ways to help users reduce their dependence on extractive digital products, from Sunslider itself to more niche apps such as ReadMoar and Scroll Break;
And a company that follows a different logic, prioritizing long-term success over short-term thinking.
Part of that long-term success will come from giving as many people as possible an off-ramp from the hyper-algorithmized, attention-capturing lifestyle that the billionaires at Instagram, TikTok, Google, and others want to keep us in. After an initial MVP version that was only available on iOS, we’re happy to announce that Sunslider is now available for Android users as well.

No matter what phone you’re using, you can now enjoy a social network made for normal people, including:
No ads — ever.
Minimal data tracking with a privacy-first design.
A low-algorithm social network design that isn’t built to trap you in the app.
Granular privacy options that let you stay in control of who sees your posts.
And a host of other benefits: EU-based hosting, simple-to-understand settings, and of course our day-one promise of “No Nazis”.
We can take back control of our lives, digital and offline. We can create better tools, better businesses, better companies.
Getting there means understanding that putting v1.0 into the world is never the end — just another beginning.
