Short description: Knot is a private app that helps small groups stay connected by turning everyone’s updates into a shared newsletter.

Project description:

Knot is a private mobile application designed to help small groups—such as families, close friends, or teams—stay meaningfully connected. By combining the immediacy of messaging apps with the charm of a family magazine, Knot transforms individual updates into a beautifully compiled shared newsletter. Users can create a group, invite others, and set a preferred newsletter frequency (e.g., weekly or monthly). Group members then respond to guided questions and upload photos. Knot automatically organizes this content into a cohesive, visually appealing newsletter and distributes it to all members. This fosters regular, intentional communication without the noise of daily messaging. Members can read, react, and engage with each other’s updates, creating a sense of closeness even across distances.
