A small social network for your actual friends
Your people. Your little corner of the internet.
h1z is where you and your friends post the good stuff, trade high fives, and keep a profile that actually looks like you. No strangers. Posts your friends high-five most rise to the top. Switch to Newest anytime.
Free. No subscriptions, ever.
First swim of the year. Freezing and perfect.
Example profiles. Your real friends go here.
Your people
Made for the people you’d actually wave at.
Add friends you know. See their posts, with the ones your friends high-five most rising to the top (or newest first, your call). No influencers, no rabbit holes, no strangers “suggested for you”.

The h1z Slap
Likes are fine. High fives are better.
Tap the high five as many times as you want: every tap sends a little hand floating up, hold it down for a whole stream, and every one counts. Works on a friend’s whole profile too, just because.
Every day
The small stuff, done nicely.

Questions, answered
Is h1z free?
Yes, all of it. h1z is paid for by one small ad in the feed and by optional, one-time Supporter badges ($5 once, no subscription).
Who can see my profile?
Profiles are private by default: only members see your name and photo, and only friends see your posts and guestbook. You can make your corner public in Settings if you want search engines to find it.
How is the feed sorted?
Only posts from you and your friends, never strangers or “suggested for you”. By default, posts your friends high-five most rise to the top, newer posts get a head start, and high fives from different friends count for more than lots of taps from one person (one person can never count for more than five friends). Switch to Newest anytime for a plain newest-first feed.
What is a high five?
It’s our like button, with more enthusiasm. Tap as many times as you like and every tap counts, on any post or a friend’s whole profile.
How do I stay safe?
You can block anyone and report posts, comments, notes or profiles. Only friends can message you or sign your guestbook. Moderators review every report.
