Channel is the place where humans connect.

We redesigned email, messaging and social media around a single core belief that all content on Channel must be created within the app. So no AI generated writing, photos, or videos are allowed on the platform.

Every account here must belong to a real person which is verified when you sign up with a government ID and a selfie.

We made the app familiar and comfortable by design. You can message a friend, send an email, post a photo or video, and write long form articles.

When you sign up for Channel you get an @channel.is email address. This lets you send anyone an email that includes a verified signature letting recipients know your message was written by a human, not ai. No cold external inbound emails are sent to your account.

Channel is currently free. There are no ads, and the feed can be selected to chronological.
