The app
What's in it.
Everything you'd expect from a social app, minus the parts that made you feel bad using one.
Post photos
Four images per post and a caption. They load fast on a bad connection and look good on a small screen.
Follow people
Not accounts, people. You choose them by username and that's the only way anyone gets into your feed.
A feed that ends
Newest first. When you run out of posts, it stops. No infinite scroll, no "keep going", no filler.
Likes nobody counts
Tap the heart if you like something. Only you can see what you liked, and there's no total anywhere.
Comments
Only the people who can see the post can read them. They're part of the post, not a public wall.
Messages
Straight to the person, gone from the servers once it lands. If their phone is off, it waits — and expires if they never come back.
Find people
By username, through friends of friends, or in a browsable list you can leave with one switch. Never by reading your contacts.
Block and report
Blocking is instant and total. Reporting goes to a human, and the person you sent it to can keep their own copy — so you decide what leaves your hands.
Bring it with you
Export everything, delete it all, or bring what you had elsewhere across: captions, photos and the people you followed, from your own Instagram data file. Never your password.
What isn't in it
The list that matters more.
A feature list tells you what an app wants from you. This is what Valke refuses to build, whatever it costs.
That's the whole app.
It's still being built. If you want to be there when it lands — or help it land — the next page is for you.
