Safety is always free

Reporting, blocking, privacy controls, account deletion, and appeals are never paywalled. Safety reports are prioritised by severity, not by plan. Every member gets the same protections.

What each Plus & Patron feature means

The Plus badge

A small, optional sparkles icon next to your name on your profile and in circle member lists. It's purely a way to show you support Narumelo — there's no status boost, and you can hide it anytime from your profile settings.

The permanent Founding Patron badge

The first configurable number of verified annual Patron subscribers become Foundation Patrons. If you become one, you'll get a 'Founding Patron' badge on your profile that stays forever — even if you later cancel. Paid entitlements (like higher circle limits) end when your paid period ends, but the badge is permanent.

Voting on new features (coming soon)

Patrons will get a say in what we build next. Every month we'll post feature ideas; Patrons vote on which to prioritise. We'll ship the top-voted feature first.

Admin broadcasts — audience targeting

Admins can send announcements to: everyone, Free members only, Plus members only, Patrons only, or Foundation Patrons. Broadcasts are rate-limited and logged in the audit trail.

Quiet coworking rooms (coming soon)

A live, no-video, ambient-presence space. You join, others join, and you all just exist together while doing your own thing. No one is expected to talk. Think of it as a library reading room — online, calm, and pressure-free.

Early access to new features

Plus and Patron members get to try new features 2–4 weeks before everyone else in a 'What's Next' circle where you can test and give feedback.

Custom circle themes & covers (coming soon)

Plus members will be able to choose from a wider palette and upload a custom cover image for circles they own. We'll keep the calm aesthetic while giving you more room to express the vibe.

Buy us a tea

Not ready for a subscription? You can make a one-time contribution of any amount. Every cup helps us keep the lights on and the servers calm.

Tipping requires a configured payment provider. Currently labelled as demo until payments are live.

Our promise

Narumelo intends to maintain a meaningful free plan. We will never sell your data or show you ads. Safety features are never paywalled. If that ever changes, we’ve failed, and you should leave.
