Key features

Why eljo? Everything the group needs.

A short list. Every one of these ships in the app today.

Direct messages

Text or media, each stamped with the sender's photo and time. The thread opens at the newest message.

Circles

Name it, describe it, give it a photo, then pull contacts in. Posts and replies live inside the circle and nowhere else.

Media tab

Every photo and video from a circle or a thread collects into one grid. Tap a tile to open it full size.

Archive

Archive a message or a whole circle and it leaves your list alone. Everyone else carries on as normal.

Contacts

Anyone from your phone contacts who is on eljo, anyone you shared a circle with, plus anyone you add by link.

Two-factor

Sign-up texts you a code before the account exists, then emails a validation link to confirm the address.

How it works

Four screens to your first circle.

About text messages from eljo

Eljo uses SMS text messages for two purposes only: (1) to send one-time verification codes (OTP) to verify your identity when you register or log in, and (2) to notify you when another Eljo user invites you to join their Circle. You will only receive SMS messages if you explicitly opt in during the app registration process by checking a consent checkbox on the registration screen. The checkbox reads: “I agree to receive SMS messages from Eljo (My Circle LLC) including one-time verification codes and Circle invitation notifications. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt-out.” This checkbox is not pre-checked. You must actively check it to consent. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time. Reply HELP for assistance.
