Recs from friends who actually know you
SwearBy turns your real friend groups into the place you go for recs. No tracking, no targeted ads, no doomscrolling.
Why SwearBy
- 👥Circles, not followersSmall private groups of real friends. Your recs go to them, theirs come back to you. No follower count, no public list.
- 🔥Vibes, not starsObsessed, Safe Bet, Overrated, Skip. Plain labels. No more guessing what 3.5 stars from a stranger means.
- 🚫No algorithm noiseYour feed is just the people you picked. Nothing ranked, boosted, tracked, or monetised.
- 🎛️Any categoryMovies, food spots, music, books, web series. Everything your Circle swears by, in one place.
- 🌐No app to installSwearBy is a web app on purpose. Open it on any phone, laptop, or tablet and your Circles come with you — no download, no app store. Still want a home-screen icon? Once you're in, install it as an app from your Profile.
Your Circle is waiting
Ditch the algorithms. Start swapping real recommendations with people you actually trust.
Not built to trade your attention
No targeted ads. Ever. No brand placements, no third-party trackers.
No data selling. Your taste stays inside your Circle, not on some marketplace.
No engagement traps. No notification spam, no dark patterns designed to hijack your time.
If we ever outgrow the free tier, the ask will be community crowdfunding. Not ads.
SwearBy runs on free tiers of serverless infra we trust. Hosting today costs ₹0. If that ever changes, the ask goes to the community, not to advertisers.
