Planetary

Planetary is a decentralized, peer-to-peer social networking company built on the Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) protocol, offering an iOS app for algorithm-free social media where users own and store their data locally with no advertising and no data selling. The team has since migrated its design, app, and philosophy to the Nostr protocol under a new app, nos.social. The project is fully open source, developed in the open on GitHub, and is a portfolio company of Bloomberg Beta. Planetary exposes no commercial REST/HTTP API; its developer surface is the underlying SSB/Nostr protocol documentation (RPC methods, replication, blobs) rather than a hosted web API.

Planetary is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Social, Social Media, Decentralized, and Peer-to-Peer.

Planetary’s developer surface includes support and 6 more developer resources.
