How SameGrain worked
Grains, questions, plants and mulch — the mechanics the company described.
1. Answer
Each grain category is a set of fun, in-depth questions — about pets, music, travel, beliefs, health, work, family and more.
2. Grow
Your answers grow your grains. The app then shows what you have in common with other people, near or far.
3. Connect
Plant the people you want to grow friendships with. Mulch the matches that get creepy — they are never told, and cannot reconnect unless you recycle them.
Privacy
Never disclosed, by design
SameGrain called itself the “privacy first” social discovery platform because it made every effort to protect your identity and would never disclose your email address.
That did not remove the need to protect yourself — the company published a full set of safety tips alongside the promise.
The screens
What the app looked like
The five App Store screenshots the company published, recovered at their archived size.
