Product Paper

Status: invitation-only closed beta on iPhone and Android

Updated: September 4, 2026

This page explains what Lets is today, how its main features fit together, and where the promises of the closed beta end. Legal terms and data-processing details are published separately.

1. What Lets is for

Lets is a social app for friends and small communities. It is designed not only for seeing a post, but for continuing a conversation with the people who matter to you.

Lets already includes a feed, Stories, profiles, search, personal and group messages, Circles, and meetups. These features support one simple path: share a moment, receive a response, and return to the shared context.

We do not want an endless feed to be the destination. Lets becomes useful when a post starts a conversation and familiar people do not get lost across different apps and chats.

2. From a moment to a conversation

The main path has three steps:

1. Share. Publish a post or Story for the audience you choose.
2. Receive a response. See a reaction, reply, or move into messages.
3. Stay connected. Return to a person, conversation, or Circle without searching through scattered chats.

The feed and Stories help people notice a moment. Messages continue the conversation. Profiles and Circles keep people and shared interests close.

3. Circles and meetups

A Circle is a shared place for people who regularly do something together. It keeps members, posts, chat, and useful materials nearby.

A Circle owner can invite people, review join requests, and manage members. Each person can see their role and the next action available to them: join, open the chat, answer a question, view materials, or return to posts.

A meetup inside a Circle connects invitations, attendance responses, people's contributions, and a shared result. The result remains in the Circle after the meetup ends, and the meetup can be repeated. This helps agreements survive beyond a long chat thread.

4. Personal space and messages

Lets lets people choose who can see their profile and Stories and who can send messages. People can create a close-friends list, block unwanted contact, review active sessions, and request account deletion.

These controls help people manage their space. They do not mean that the service stops processing data needed to operate the app.

Message protection currently differs by mode. In the compatible cloud mode, the Lets server side remains technically able to decrypt content. We therefore do not describe current messages as end-to-end encrypted or claim that the service cannot access them.

5. Glints and questions in Circles

A Glint is a small acknowledgement beside a post or reply. It shows that someone noticed the contribution. Glints are not money, payment, or a rank. They do not form a balance or create an entitlement.

A Circle owner can ask members a question and provide several answer options. One account keeps one choice. The result remains visible after the question closes, but it does not change rules, trigger an action, or become a commitment from the Lets team by itself.

These features support conversation. They do not replace posts, messages, Circles, or meetups, and they do not form a separate financial or governance system.

6. What is available in the closed beta

Lets is available to the first participants on iPhone through TestFlight and on Android through Google Play testing. New invitations are sent in small groups so the team can review feedback carefully.

The current beta includes the core social paths: posts, Stories, profiles, search, personal and group messages, Circles, and meetups. Individual details may change as testing continues.

A request on the website does not guarantee an invitation or promise a specific access date. Advertiser tools, paid reach, and financial features are outside the closed beta.

7. Where we are going

For personal messages, the approved direction is end-to-end encryption by default with encrypted multi-device sync and no server-held content keys.

This is a target, not a description of the current release. Lets will make this claim only after selecting a maintained implementation, migrating existing data, testing on physical devices, and completing an independent review.

We are also continuing to test whether Circles and meetups help small communities preserve shared context and return to things they do together.

8. What this page does not promise

This page does not promise:

• a public launch date;
• an invitation for everyone who requests access;
• complete anonymity;
• end-to-end encryption for every current message;
• automatic execution of question results;
• financial value for Glints;
• that closed-beta features will remain unchanged.

If the status of an important feature changes, we will update the public description and legal documents separately.
