Meet Meerkat

The best part of the internet
has always been the people.

The group chat that feels like home. The small community that gets your weirdest interests. The people who show up for the work you make.

Meerkat brings those relationships into a space you can call your own. Talk privately, share the things that matter, and give your community a personality of its own.

Start with a conversation

Stay close

It starts with
“you have to see this.”

A thought, a photo, a work in progress.
Give everyday conversation a private home, with shared files close at hand.

A place for the things we make

Good company.
Unfinished ideas.

A corner of the internet for sharing the process, finding inspiration, and making something together.

JSRPull up a chair.
The living room Start a conversationOn the workbench Share what you’re makingThe inspiration shelf Save something good

A shared home for creative friends, with conversation, works in progress and a library of inspiration.

These are design studies of the experience, not screenshots of a released build.

Your view is yours, too.

Choose how Meerkat looks on your device. A personal theme changes your view; editing a community page changes the space you share.

A world of possibilities

Start with a format.
Make it your own.

A shop. A stage. A feed. A whole creative world. We’re designing a family of templates that brings your content and your community together.

A shop with a story behind it.

Explore maker shops, live studios, short-video feeds, film catalogs, podcasts, publications, courses and creative portfolios.

Maker shop · planned template previewFictional content / Forma Studio

Etsy-style storefront

A shop with a story behind it.

A home for the things you make, the process behind them, and the people who keep coming back.

  • Product collections & variations
  • Custom-order conversations
  • A maker journal beside the shop

Template concepts in development. “Mirrors” describe familiar formats for your own content; these previews do not connect to Etsy, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram or YouTube accounts. Platform imports, syncing, live media and commerce depend on future supported integrations and release testing.

Change more than the color

The details make
it your place.

Start with a template. Shape the identity, the layout, the content and the way your community gathers.

Look & feel

Color palettes, light and dark modes, text size and weight, spacing, borders, corners and shadows.

Pages & layouts

A conversation-first home or a library-first space. Personal pages, galleries, link hubs, wiki pages and expressive canvas layouts.

Your community’s identity

Choose a name, an introduction and an accent. Give shared spaces a recognizable identity while keeping personal themes personal.

Content & collections

Organize channels and libraries around your work. Planned creator formats add shops, live stages, film shelves and vertical feeds.

People & permissions

Decide who joins and who helps manage the space. Private sharing and public publishing remain separate choices.

A starting point to fit

Family Space, Media Library, Club, Course Hub, Newsroom or Blank. Build further with a fan page, wiki, link hub, zine or gallery wall.

Your profile, your little universe

Bring back the personal page.

The MySpace spirit, made yours. A favorite song. A wall of videos. Your Top 8. A page that feels like someone lives here. Give your user profile as much personality as your community.

Interactive design study · Expanded profile tools planned

Ten people. Ten ways to make it yours.

From everyday community life to running a business. Open a profile and try its widgets.

Make Alex’s page your own.

Your edits stay with each example while you explore. Reset restores the selected profile.

Realistic setups, fictional people. Widget actions are local demos; no posts, bookings, inquiries, or purchases are sent.

Illustrative notes from this community.

A little corner, entirely yours. Profile design concept

More than a bio.

Wallpapers, type, colors, stickers, photos, links, custom sections, and layouts. Start with a mood and keep making it yours.

Let your page have a sound.

Planned soundtrack, playlist, and optional sound-effect tools, plus video and media shelves. Visitors choose when to play.

Your people belong here.

A handpicked Top 8, a guestbook, and a place for the things you make together. Choose your order and the sections you want to share.

Already in the codebase: designable community member profiles, Top 8, guestbooks, stickers, and badges on mobile and web. This study previews a richer editor and media experience; it is not a released app screen. Community profiles stay within their community. A customizable public profile is separate planned work, with an explicit publishing choice.

Private by intention

Your people.
Your audience.
Your choice.

Private messages and shared content are encrypted for their intended recipients. Publishing something publicly is a separate, explicit choice.

For the people you choose.

Private content is encrypted for authorized recipients. Your private device identity is kept separate from your public identity and verification account.

Privacy has boundaries. Public posts are public. Recipients can keep copies. Encryption does not hide all connection metadata or protect a compromised device.

You choose the services. Hosting, public publishing and optional media services have their own roles. A private conversation and a public broadcast have different audiences.

A little further ahead

A home for the work
you put into the world.

We’re building toward communities where independent writers, filmmakers and makers can publish their work and build direct relationships with the people who support it.

Publish and gather

Reporting, films and conversations in one community.

Create and share

Personal pages and richer tools for shaping your space.

Support the people behind it

Creator memberships and shops, with clearly defined access.

In development. Creator commerce and expanded media features are not generally available. AI-assisted page building is a future direction.

A few things worth knowing.

What is Meerkat?

Meerkat is a private community app that brings encrypted conversations, shared files and customizable community spaces together. Start with a person or a small group, then make the space feel like yours.

Can I use it today?

Meerkat is in development and is not generally available. This page is an interactive product preview. Wider access will follow release testing; there is no public download or signup on this page.

Is everything on Meerkat private?

Private messages and shared content are encrypted for authorized recipients. Public publishing is separate and intentional. Your public identity and verification account stay separate from your private device identity. Public content can be read and copied by others.

Does Meerkat need the internet?

You can keep local content on your device. Sharing and catching up depend on available connections, supported devices and configured services. Nearby transport varies by platform; Meerkat does not promise universal offline delivery or an always-connected mesh.

Can I customize my profile as well as my community?

Yes. The codebase includes designable community member profiles with Top 8, guestbooks, stickers and badges. Soundtracks, richer profile media and a full public-page editor are planned. Your profile, your personal app theme and the community’s shared design are separate choices. The profile showcase above is an interactive design study.

Will there be a subscription?

The current plan separates a one-time app unlock from optional monthly hosting. Final availability, prices and service limits will be confirmed before public release. Optional payment and media providers may have separate costs.

This is just the beginning
