January 21, 2026· 1 min read

Let’s take a look at Housearming, the social app aimed at close friends:

  • Some features, like pokes and wall posts, borrow from older social apps.
  • Friend discovery is contact-based, built in a cozy and non-threatening way.
  • Onboarding introduces the camera early, framing sharing as "Send to friends", doubling down on the intimacy factor.
  • The mandatory "add three friends" step is a bold choice.

Binge the show.
