THE WEB
GOT WEIRD.

ads on every surface. tracking on every click. dark patterns right where the buttons should be. the internet stopped feeling like yours... Poke is the calmer place.

Start searching! Read the privacy policy

a softer corner of the internet.

no weird little traps, no lecture wall when u just wanna watch something. poke strips it all back so u can actually use the web! without the web using you back :3

01
Tracking everywhere your watch habits and clicks shouldn't be somebody else's product.
02
Pages drowning in noise ads & clutter... all fighting for ur attention around the actual content.
03
Lock-in and control giant platforms shouldn't get to decide how the whole web feels to use.
04
Real-world harm tech shouldn't scale propaganda, mass surveillance, or worse.
Poke exists for ppl who are tired of all that. a privacy app that's calmer, lighter, and just nicer to use :3

WATCH WHATEVER U WANT

news, gaming, music.. whatever ur into. watch it all without big tech watching you back!

Stay up with the news, minus all the noise

no paywalls nagging u, no tracking what you clicked. just the actual stuff.
