About Mu

The internet became addictive. Micro is the alternative.

What is Mu?

Micro is the everything app — blog, chat, news, mail, and more — all in one place. No ads, no tracking, no algorithms. Built in the open. We call the app Mu for short.

Technology should serve people — not use them.

Why Mu Exists

Every platform monetises your attention. Infinite scroll keeps you hooked. Algorithms decide what you see. Ads follow you everywhere. Your data gets mined and sold.

Mu was built on a different principle: pay for the tools, not with your attention.

What’s included

• News — Headlines from RSS feeds, chronological, with AI summaries
• Markets — Live crypto, futures, and commodity prices
• Weather — Forecasts and conditions
• Video — YouTube without ads, algorithms, or shorts
• Web — Search the web without tracking
• Blog — Microblogging with daily AI-generated digests
• Chat — AI-powered conversation on any topic
• Mail — Private messaging and email
• Agent — AI assistant that searches, answers, and builds across every service
• Apps — Build and use small, useful tools

What we don’t do

• No likes — your worth isn’t a number
• No followers — quality over popularity
• No infinite scroll — there’s always an end
• No push notifications — you come when you want
• No algorithmic ranking — chronological, transparent
• No tracking — we don’t profile you
• No ads — we don’t sell your attention

Marketplace

Tired of the walled gardens? Us too.

Micro includes an app marketplace. Create an app and sell it. Builders keep 90% of everything. The platform takes 10%. No ad revenue to chase. No engagement metrics to game. Build something useful, people pay for it, you get paid.

Technology

Mu runs as a single Go binary. Self-host on your own server or use mu.xyz. Open source under AGPL-3.0.

When you pay for tools, incentives are aligned. We build the tools, you use them. That’s it.
