One place per app
Home is your private network. World is where you work. Signal Radio is your social space. None of them will ever try to become another.
Three apps·live, work, play
Every app wants to be everything. Ours know what they are.
Three apps for the three parts of life — live, work, play. Home is your private network, World is where you work, Signal Radio is your social space — and each one leaves out everything that doesn't belong there.
What happened to apps
This was a photo app.
You can't tell what it's for anymore.
Neither can it.
The idea
Real life has places. A home. A market. A town square. Each one has its own rules about who gets in and what happens inside. The internet forgot that. We didn't.
You walk in. Nobody drags you in.
No followers, no "people you may know", no app deciding who you should meet. Nothing reaches you unless you went through the door first.
Nothing that doesn't belong
No ads, no algorithm, no infinite feed. If it wouldn't exist in the real place, it doesn't exist in the app.
The map so far
Three places are built.
Each is its own app, its own site, its own rules.
More places are being surveyed. We'll name them when they're built — not before.
Live · Zich Home
Your private network.
The place for the people you already know. Circles for family and friends. Chat and calls. Shared notes, folders and live location inside every conversation. A feed only your circles can see. And safety built into the walls — alerts that reach a locked phone, a check-in timer, a headphone trigger, a fake call to get you out of a bad situation.
Inside
- Circles, not followers
- Chat, calls, group chats
- Shared notes, folders & live location

- My Space — your own storage
- Alerts, Safety Timer, Headphone Alert, Self Caller

Work · Zich World
Where you work.
The place for the businesses around you — the one you run, the ones you buy from. One QR code turns any business — the tailor, the clinic, the café — into its own living portal. Order, chat, pay with UPI, join the queue, book a slot. Behind the counter: orders, inventory, udhaar, staff, finances, and a network of other businesses to work with. No app to install. No hardware to buy.
Inside
- A portal per business, reached by QR
- Orders, chat, queues, appointments
- UPI payments, receipts, history
- Inventory, udhaar, staff, finances
- Business-to-business projects
- An assistant that never acts without you
Never inside
- A marketplace between you and the shop
- Your number on display
- One business seeing another's data
- An app you have to install
- Hardware to buy
- Your people from Home
Play · Signal Radio
Your social space.
Be anonymous. Drop into all kinds of rooms — music, film clubs, code sessions, movements, moments — and connect with strangers who picked the same frequency. The room ranks itself: what the crowd likes gets lifted, what it buries fades to static. Messages expire. Nothing about you is packaged or sold.
Inside
- A handle, not your name — be anonymous
- Live rooms of every kind, each with its own crowd
- Likes and dislikes on every message — the room ranks itself
- Messages and media that expire
- RAD points for showing up and bringing people
- Private rooms of your own (beta)
- The Operator, a switchboard that finds your room (preview)
Never inside
- An algorithm ranking the room
- A permanent record
- Your real name on display
- Followers
- Your data, packaged or sold
- Your family's group chat

Try it
Put something where it doesn't belong.
Drag a card onto a door. Some things belong in Home, some in World, some in Signal Radio — and some don't belong in any Zich app at all.

The company
Zichverse builds Zich.
A digital universe that mirrors the real one, built one place at a time. Three apps for the three parts of life — live, work, play. Most apps grow by adding whatever keeps you scrolling, until nothing inside them has a boundary. Zich grows by adding places — and every place has a wall around it, so you always know where you are and who's in the room.
Zichverse Private Limited. Built in India, for everyone.
