stamp
The people who
already care about
your work.
You spent years building an audience. Then the platform changed the algorithm, the reach collapsed, and the people who actually cared stopped seeing what you made. Stamp is the place you take the ones who stayed. Not a new audience. The real one.
Be honest about what Stamp is and isn't for you. Stamp won't grow your audience. There's no explore feed. No strangers can find you. No reach metrics to chase. If you want a platform to build from zero, this is not it. If you want a place where the 80 people who actually showed up can see what you're working on now, quietly and reliably, without the algorithm deciding whether today's photo was worth showing: that's Stamp.
"One post a day. Your circle. No noise. Enough."
Who comes here
Stamp doesn't speak to every kind of creator. The ones who find it useful tend to fit a pattern.
The photographer who posts for keeps
You shoot carefully. One image a day is not a constraint; it's the point. Your circle sees the photo in full, chronologically, with no algorithmic re-rank burying it by 8am. The Earth globe tracks where you were when you took it.
The musician between releases
You pin your own track to your profile. It plays for anyone in your circle who visits. No fees, no licensing cost, full attribution to your distributor. The gap between releases doesn't have to be silence.
The maker with a small, devoted audience
Ceramics, furniture, textiles, illustration: things that reward close attention. Your circle isn't large and it doesn't need to be. The people who bought something get to see what you're working on next.
The writer who wants a reading room, not a broadcast
One post a day as a writing practice. A caption that's actually a paragraph. The people in your circle chose to be there. You're not competing with anyone for their feed.
What you can do on Stamp
Every surface available to creators exists in the app for all members. There's no creator tier, no special access. The combination is the value.
Your profile, with a soundtrack
Pin any 30-second preview to your profile. If you're a musician, link your own track from a major streaming platform. Members tap, listen, hear what you make. It plays again any time someone visits your profile. Pin a different track when the context changes.
Why it matters: the most useful thing a social platform can do for an independent artist is give them a way to play their own work to people who already follow them, with no fees, no royalties owed, no platform cut. Stamp does this. It has just been quiet about it. Point your track's streaming URL at the music field in
Profile → Edit.One post, chosen deliberately
Up to three photos and a caption, once a day. The cap resets at local midnight. Your circle sees it in order, at the top of their feed, for the whole day. Tomorrow it's still there, just further down. Nothing buries it.
Why the constraint is the point: posting five times to stay visible is the algorithm's game, not yours. One post forces a choice. "What's the one thing I want my people to see today?" That question, asked daily, changes what you make. Members feel the difference between a post that was chosen and a post that was filler.
A globe that maps your work
Tag a post with a place. It lands a pin on a personal 3D globe, visible to your circle. A residency in Lisbon, a shoot in the Cairngorms, a gig in a back room in Peckham: all of them mapped, tappable, connected to the post from that day. Country flags collect into a quiet passport of where the work has taken you.
Why this is different from a map pin on another platform: the globe is yours alone. It's not a public feature, not a discovery mechanism. It belongs to your circle's view of your life. Nothing else makes this connection between place and memory at a personal level.
A share card that travels
Every member gets a branded share card with their handle and a Stamp QR code. Put it in your newsletter, your bio on other platforms, on a gig flyer, an exhibition wall, a business card. Anyone who scans goes straight to your Stamp profile to request access to your circle.
Why this is the growth model: Stamp doesn't run ads. The way new members find Stamp is through people who already use it, sharing a card or a link with their existing audience. That's the only growth model we're comfortable with. For creators, it's also the right one: you're not buying reach, you're converting people who already know you into people who see your daily post.
A private album you keep
Save any post to your personal album. They stay there, organised by year, accessible any time. This is the only part of Stamp designed to outlast the feed. The photos you save here are yours to keep, in full resolution, even if you eventually leave the app.
Why the archive matters: daily posting adds up. A photographer who posts every day for two years has 700 posts. Most of those will scroll out of active memory. The album is where you put the ones that shouldn't.
One link, wherever you want to send people
A single external URL on your profile, visible to your circle. Your newsletter, your shop, your latest release, your booking page. Whatever your "come here next" moment is, it's one tap away from your profile. Change it any time in
Profile → Edit.Why one link and not many: the single link forces a choice. What's the one place you want your circle to go right now? That discipline is good for you and cleaner for them. Rotate it when the context changes, launch week, tour announcement, new piece up for sale.
Voice notes in chat
Send voice messages to people in your circle. Richer than text, lower effort than a video call.
Why it works for creators: a 45-second voice note from the person who made something carries warmth that a caption cannot. It's the difference between a follower who reads your posts and a fan who feels like they heard from you. Stamp keeps voice notes inside the trust boundary of your circle, not broadcast to anyone who happens to follow you on a public platform.
What we won't build for creators
- ✕No explore feed or discovery surface. There is no way for a stranger to find your profile on Stamp. New people in your circle come from invites you send, QR codes you share, or links you hand out. The trust boundary that makes Stamp feel safe for members is the same thing that makes it valuable for creators: your circle chose to be there.
- ✕No "boost this post" or paid reach. Reach is not for sale on Stamp. Your post reaches your full circle, and your circle only. A member with 12 people in their circle reaches 12 people. A member with 300 reaches 300. Neither can pay to reach more. That's structural fairness, and it means your post competes with nothing except the day itself.
- ✕No creator monetisation layer. No tipping, no per-creator paid subscriptions, no revenue share, no "creator fund." Stamp's economic model is one flat membership fee. After costs, half of remaining profits go to three UK-registered charities voted on by members. Adding a creator economy layer would push Stamp toward the platform dynamics we built Stamp against.
- ✕No content recommendation system. We will never recommend a creator's work to anyone outside their circle, paid or unpaid. The path to a bigger Stamp circle is to invite people you already know, off-platform. Stamp is not a discovery engine and will not become one.
Is Stamp right for you?
The honest answer depends on what you're trying to do.
If you're a creator who wants to grow a new audience from scratch, Stamp is not your platform. It will not help you reach people who don't already know you. There is no path to viral. The tools don't exist here, and they won't.
If you're a creator with an existing audience who is tired of competing for their attention, tired of optimising captions for an algorithm that reshuffles the deck every quarter, tired of posting five times a day to stay visible: Stamp is the quiet room those people can come into. One post. Full reach to everyone who chose to be there. No noise.
You join like any other member. There's no creator account, no application, no verification tier. £3 a month, the same as everyone else. That's the commitment, and it's also the signal: if you're here, you're here because the place itself is worth something, not because the platform needs content.
Read our pledge for the full list of things we commit never to build, including the promise that after all costs, half of remaining profits go to three UK-registered charities chosen by members each year.
