What is ThisLife?
ThisLife is a private social networking app launched in 2019 that is designed to share personal content with your close connections instead of a wide audience. It allows you to share photos, videos, audio clips, documents, and life events in a timeline or stories format with select friends and family members.
Some key features of ThisLife include:
- Closed network - You can only join if invited by an existing member, keeping your content private
- Groups - Create private groups to share within your inner circles like close friends, family members, book club, etc.
- Privacy controls - Granular settings allow you to specify who can see each post
- Memories - Automatically surfaces old photos and videos from past years to reminisce
- Offers print books of your digital content as physical keepsakes
- End-to-end encryption for all shared media
Unlike mass social networks designed to widely share personal content, ThisLife aims to facilitate more intimate and private digital connections with your closest confidants. The closed network and privacy controls allow you to comfortably document special moments without worrying about who might access them.
