NAGORIE is a social platform for the life behind the life. Post real moments called drops from real places. No like. No share. No follower. The only social action is witnessing, and it only works when both people choose each other. Your Circle is capped at 150 people on purpose. Every year your drops compile into a Chapter, a private archive of your year that belongs to you, not to an algorithm. Named after the Japanese word nagori (名残), the traces a wave leaves on the shore after it pulls back.

I built NAGORIE because most of my life was disappearing without a trace. Not the highlight reel. The real moments. The fog at 7am nobody else saw. The meal I cooked alone that almost got there. The sea that was louder than usual. Instagram was for the curated version. There was nowhere for the actual one. NAGORIE keeps the actual one. A drop has three layers, Place, Moment, and Echo (what it meant to you, private by default). Your Circle is capped at 150 because beyond that you stop knowing people and start managing them. Every year your drops become a Chapter. A private archive of a year that actually happened. The name comes from a Japanese word for what a wave leaves on the shore after it pulls back. Every drop is a nagori. Every Chapter is the shore. Would love to know what you think. Be honest.
