Mirlo: A subscription-based social app with no likes, algorithm, or infinite scroll
Mirlo is a subscription-based social app (€4.99/month) built by Mathijs as an alternative to traditional social media. It removes engagement hooks like likes, public comments, algorithms, and infinite scroll. Connections are mutual, conversations are private, and the platform is hosted in the EU with no ads or data selling. It's currently available on iOS in 30 EU countries with a 14-day free trial.
Key quotes
I built Mirlo because my own social apps stopped giving back what they were taking.
No likes, no public comments, no algorithm, no infinite scroll. Every connection is mutual, so the conversation stays between the people in it.
If you're not paying for it, you're the product, and I didn't want that to be the model.
It's calm on purpose.
Made for the people who quietly closed the apps that stopped working for them.
