Manifesto

Youspend2.5hoursadayonappsdesignedtowasteyourtime.

We built one that doesn't.

The problem

01

Every feed you scroll is a negotiation between what you want to see and what an advertiser paid to show you.

The advertiser wins. Every time.

02

You know what your favorite stranger on the internet thinks about politics.

You don't know what your best friend did this weekend.

03

The algorithm isn't broken. It's working exactly as intended.

Just not for you.

How it works

01

Speak plainly

Type “more music, less politics.” Watch your feed change in seconds.

02

See the reason

Every post explains why it’s there. Tap the reason. Adjust it. Done.

03

Own the weights

The algorithm is public. You set every weight.

04

Trust the code

We can’t override your choices. It’s in the code.

Not for advertisers. Not for shareholders.

For you.

That's Surf.

What we believe

01

Your feed should answer to you. Not to an advertiser.

02

AI should serve you, not surveil you. Yours to control, always.

03

No platform should decide what ideas you’re allowed to see.

04

Social media should make you feel better after using it, not worse.

This isn't an update to social media.

It's a replacement.
