Social media can chip away at self-care by fostering comparison and constant distraction, but it can also provide incredible opportunities for meaningful connection, as Communia proves with its app. Created as “a better digital world for women,” Communia features private, public and collaborative journals where users can mindfully stay in touch with friends, trade notes with like-minded individuals and express themselves in a variety of ways with multi-media entries.

Beyond providing a safe space for women and marginalized communities to come together and socialize, Communia can also be used for self-development purposes by tracking goals and moods, and reflecting upon gathered insights with progress reports.

As a wellness-first social network, Communia does away with likes and followings to remove the pressure to perform, and is proudly ad-free to protect users’ private data.
