KindlingAn open protocol for finding people

The pool should belong to the people in it.

Right now every app keeps its people to itself, so you start from zero each time you try a new one. With Kindling, your profile stays on your own page, the groups you say yes to come with you, and any app can introduce you to the people in them.

The first real app

Mycelial: where your village lives.

Small, tended communities called Groves, for whatever you’re working through. Find the people who get it, gather with them, and know someone’s there in the hard hours.

Opening by invitation. Its Kindling version ships in early 2027.

Visit Mycelial Look around a Grove

Mycelial is made by TranquilTech, which also maintains Kindling. It follows the same rules as every app here, and gets no special access.
