Local by design · connected by consent
Many communities.
No single center.
People, groups, and places can shape their own space while participating in a wider network. Context can travel without every community surrendering its identity or authority.
Place-aware
Built around real people and the places where life becomes tangible.
Sovereign spaces
Communities keep their own identity, rules, memory, and center of gravity.
Connected by choice
Share knowledge and possibility across boundaries without flattening them.
A collective vision
We can only be truly successful together.
At the heart of Rivr lies a profound belief: the essence of our existence lives not in competition, but in collaboration. To be well as a collective, a culture, a bioregion and a world, we must put the earth, the people and our hearts in the center.
Rivr is more than an app. It is a technology to enhance connection and stewardship in our local bioregions, worldwide. Whether you are offering your hands or providing a service, hosting a gathering or joining an event, stewarding a community or simply seeking connection, Rivr makes it seamless to give and receive within a living web of mutual support.
Our collective
Together, we are destined for greatness.
Our vision is a collective vision.
Rivr, in plain words
Questions people ask before they get in.
What is Rivr?
Rivr is a cooperative social coordination platform: a social coordination network for connecting, creating, and collaborating with your local community around the world. Share skills and resources, find gigs and events, make offerings, and land projects across organizations.
Is it Rivr, Rivr Social, or River Social?
It is Rivr, pronounced “river”, and the network lives at rivr.social. People also write it as Rivr Social, River Social, or the Rivr app; they all lead here. The app itself is at app.rivr.social.
Where is Rivr?
Rivr began in Boulder, Colorado. Boulder is the first branch of many: Rivr is preparing for new bioregions across the United States and beyond, and any community can start a Locale Commons.
How do I join Rivr?
Open the app at app.rivr.social and create an account. Rivr products for collaborators, hosts, sellers, providers, and organizations start at $11 a month, before fees.
