About Mu

The Micro Network — apps without ads, algorithms, or tracking.

What is Mu?

Mu is a collection of apps for everyday use. While other platforms monetize your attention with infinite feeds and targeted ads, Mu gives you simple utilities that respect your time.

Think of Mu as the opposite of what the internet has become:

The Internet Today Mu
Infinite scroll Finite, curated content
Algorithmic feeds Chronological, you choose
Ad-supported everything No ads
Engagement metrics Intentional use
Screen time maximization Get in, get out

Why Mu Exists

The internet was supposed to connect us and make life better. Instead, platforms have optimized for addiction and extraction:

  • Rage bait to keep you scrolling
  • Notifications to pull you back
  • Likes and followers to gamify your worth
  • Ads disguised as content
  • Algorithms that decide what you see

Mu was built to fix this problem.

No Addiction Mechanics

We deliberately exclude features that drive addiction:

  • No infinite scroll — There’s always an end
  • No push notifications — You come when you want
  • No algorithmic ranking — Chronological, transparent

Privacy by Design

  • Your server, your data — Self-host if you want
  • No tracking — We don’t profile you
  • No ads — We don’t sell your attention
  • Private messaging — Between you and them

AI Features

Some features are enhanced with AI:

  • Blog — Auto-tag topics
  • News — Summarize articles
  • Chat — AI for discussions
  • Agent — Conversational AI with access to all Mu tools via MCP

AI is a tool, not the product. It helps when useful, stays out of the way otherwise.
