Why Cohoria exists
Community groups are scattered across email chains, GroupMe, Facebook, and whatever app someone chose last week. Every one of those platforms can read your messages.
Cohoria puts all of those groups in one place, and the platform itself cannot read your data. That's not a policy. It's the architecture.
Messages are encrypted on your device before they leave. We store scrambled data we cannot decrypt. Every member passes human verification. No bots, no fake accounts, no algorithmic feeds. Just your actual community, in a place that respects them.
We're building this in Historic Franklin, Tennessee, because we believe the best way to build community software is to be part of the community using it. The Franklin pilot is how we prove this works before expanding.
Built on CivicOS
Cohoria runs on CivicOS, an open framework of 13 non-negotiable principles covering zero-knowledge encryption, verified human identity, anti-surveillance architecture, quantum-ready cryptography, and full data portability.
