A visual platform that helps you think.
Spend less time “liking” and more time thinking. Are.na frees your mind from distraction and lets you organize your internet more mindfully.
Social media is broken
Social networks depend on addicted users to sell more ads and harvest more data. If we want our attention back, we need a different model.
No ads, no likes, no distractions
On Are.na, your attention and data are your own. We’re making a product our members love, not making our members the product.
Helping you think
Are.na transforms the hardest part of any project — developing your ideas. Discover new things without losing focus on what matters to you.
