Anonymous Social App
POV is the anonymous social app that didn't go off the rails. Friend-only, pre-filtered, no public feed — anonymity that actually works.
The short version
POV is the anonymous social more friend groups in your friend group are reaching for. It's anonymous (so honest answers come out), friend-only (so strangers stay out), and lightweight enough that nobody complains about "another app."
Why POV works
Why POV beats most anonymous social alternatives: anonymous votes (so the loudest person doesn't drag the answer), friend-only audience (no strangers), and a small game loop (rounds, cooldowns, the Crown) that makes it worth opening more than once.
When to reach for it
The best your friend group friend groups use POV as the warm-up. One anonymous poll dropped in the chat does the work of an hour of small talk. By the time you're together, the energy is already high.
