In short
MyCircleHub is a private social app built by Red Center Studio on Bubble. People start or join a circle for family, close mates or a weekend crew, then share posts, plans, albums and messages and keep a shared calendar, with no algorithms and no ads. Friends, posts and private messaging are free, and optional Plus features pay for development. The app is built and working but not open to the public yet. The screenshots on this page come from the app itself.
The problem
What needed solving.
Group chats bury plans and photos, and public social apps add feeds, ads and algorithms that most families and friend groups do not want.
Small groups need one calm, private place to share updates, organise plans and keep photos together.
What was built
The product, feature by feature.
A feed for the circle only
Posts are seen by the circle, in order, with no algorithm deciding what shows.
Plans and a shared calendar
Make plans, see the details and keep them on one calendar.
Albums
Keep the group photos together in one place.
Messages and notifications
Private messages and notifications inside the circle.
Admin and moderation
An admin dashboard, with every report reviewed by a person.
How it works
Start a circle, Invite people, Share and plan.
- Start a circle. Choose who it is for, then add a first name, a circle name and an email.
- Invite people. Friends and family join through an invite.
- Share and plan. Post updates, make plans and add photos, all inside the circle.
