What is palsy?

Palsmy is a new smartphone app that currently only works on iOS. This is not a social network in the traditional sense of the word. It merely simulates a real Internet service.

The application is just for you. You can write a comprehensive article on any topic, add photos and publish it. The entry in the stream collects likes, for which you will be notified by notifications from people in the contact list on your smartphone.

But in reality, no one sees your posts. The practice only creates the illusion of activity and approval, and all content goes into the void. The program has no access to the internet. He does not broadcast anything on the network, only records it on his smartphone.

According to developers Palmsy will be useful as a journal or as a place where you can release your emotions and no one will judge you for it.. Since the app pulls names from your phone’s contact list, the likes, although fake, come from people you know. This gives the user the illusion of audience participation and approval.

This is all for entertainment purposes only, nothing leaves your device so your privacy is safe,

The app works with iOS 17.2 or later, iPadOS 17.2, macOS 14.2, VisionOS 1.1 or later. It’s only available in English, but judging by the screenshots, the interface and functionality are so minimalist that you won’t need serious language skills.
