Towne

Shipped WebiOS

Towne is an invite-only neighborhood network for the web and iOS, made by Skyriven.

A free, invite-only, ad-free alternative to Nextdoor, on the web and as a native iOS app. No ads, no data sales, and no one's opinion gets silenced. Just real neighbors building real community. Started in Marin County, now in several states. The iOS app, Swift and SwiftUI throughout, shipped as 1.0 two months after the web app: Square, Recs, Events, Market, and a real neighbor directory, all one ZIP code wide.
