This is not a feature list. It is a window into what a movement built to endure looks like from the inside — what a community of real, vouched men and women can build when they decide to stop renting space on corporate platforms and build their own.
The backbone of the community. Every group, channel, and conversation — encrypted and yours.
End-to-end encrypted 1:1 messaging, voice and video calls, file sharing, and disappearing messages. ETC cannot read your messages — by architecture, not just policy.
Create and manage community groups of any size. Standard groups or fully encrypted private groups where even ETC cannot see the content — for those who need true privacy.
One-way broadcast channels for announcements and community updates. Subscribers receive without two-way exposure. Full Member trust required for community-wide broadcasts.
Topic-based community discussions, Q&A threads, and long-form conversations. Searchable archive with member-led moderation. Knowledge that stays in the community.
A conversational assistant that answers your questions, helps you find features, and guides you through the community — there the moment you need it.
One-to-one and group audio and video calls between members, hosted on community infrastructure — call and be called, with screen sharing, active-speaker view, picture-in-picture, and opt-in recording. Truly private: member-to-member calls never touch the outside phone network.
Make and receive calls to real landlines and mobiles from inside ETC — your own community phone number, incoming and outgoing. We're building this on a sovereign, self-hosted foundation with a privacy-respecting European carrier, so your calls stay under community control wherever possible.
A dedicated announcement feed for your group or community. Pin what matters, schedule ahead, and reach every member — read-only, so the signal stays clear.
Device-to-device messaging without internet — short-range mesh networking between nearby ETC members. Critical for emergencies and infrastructure outages.
A private, encrypted mailbox tied to your ETC identity. Spin up burner (disposable) addresses to sign up anywhere without exposing your real email, add aliases and custom domains, and receive tidy digest summaries so a busy inbox comes to you in one daily round-up.
The tools that mean your community shows up when you need them. No waiting. No explaining.
One press. Nearby members alerted instantly with your location. Home screen widget — no login needed in a crisis. Geo-targeted to your set radius. Automatically timestamped and documented.
Geo-targeted alerts reach members in a specific area instantly. Create persistent alert zones for neighbourhoods. Multi-channel delivery — push, SMS fallback, in-app.
Incident reporting, structured witness statements, legal resource library, full case management, and community mobilisation. Documentation with cryptographic timestamping — legally robust.
Privacy-first mapping using MapLibre — not Google. Opt-in location sharing with granular controls, community points of interest, offline map regions, and emergency alert zone overlays.
Biometric and encrypted personal vault for passwords, 2FA codes, sensitive documents, and evidence storage. Emergency access delegation for trusted members. ETC cannot access your vault.
Plan multi-stop journeys, save the places that matter, and share your live or approximate location with the men and women you trust — never the open web.
A shared social-travel map for your crew — past, present, and planned journeys on one timeline, with gatherings, overlaps, and weather. Safeguarded for offspring by design.
Search your encrypted group content instantly — indexed and decrypted only on your device, and rebuilt securely when you sign in on a new one. Private search that never leaves your hands.
A shared encrypted vault for a group or team — passwords, codes, and sensitive documents, sealed so only current members can open them, and re-sealed automatically when someone leaves.
Track incident frequency, response times, coverage gaps, and responder availability. Export signed incident reports for councils, police, or courts. Data to advocate with and improve your network over time.
Trade without extraction. Keep the value in your community.
Unity Pounds for member-to-member trade, LETS credits, time-banking, and barter. Ten payment methods. 0% extraction on community currency trades. Always included free — the foundation, not an add-on.
Buy and sell products, skills, and services with 0% fees on Unity Pounds and LETS trades. Trust-verified sellers only. Direct encrypted messaging between buyer and seller. 1 listing included free.
Community auction listings for goods, services, and surplus. Integrated with Unity Pounds and conventional payment methods. Escrow and dispute resolution built in.
List and find rentals within the community — homes, equipment, vehicles, tools, and accommodation. Trust-verified hosts and renters. Integrated booking, payment, and dispute resolution.
Post and find local volunteering opportunities. Coordinate volunteer teams. Track hours with time-banking integration — your contribution earns credits you can spend within the community.
Proper double-entry books for your group or organisation — transactions, invoices with PDF, budgets, cost splitting, reimbursements, bank reconciliation, and P&L and balance-sheet reports.
Take bookings for services, classes, and sessions — time slots, class packs, tickets, and subscriptions — with GDPR-grade encrypted client records built in.
Fund a pot to sponsor other members' access, or receive a sponsored place yourself. Pay-it-forward and donations keep membership within reach — sponsored, never free.
Star and written reviews across the community — surfaced on groups, sellers, and trades — so trust is earned and visible, not assumed.
Track listing performance, enquiry rates, sales history, and revenue across Unity Pounds and conventional payments. Compatible with CRM and marketing tools for Builder tier members.
Learn from men and women you trust. Share what you know. Build an audience that's real.
Take any community course at base. Create and monetise courses, issue cryptographically signed certificates, build learning paths, and run home education tools with guardian-managed offspring profiles.
Record, publish, and distribute podcasts within the community. Subscriber-only episodes, community RSS feeds, and integration with the community economy for paid subscriptions.
Stream and share music within the community. Community playlists, member-created stations, and direct support for independent artists through Unity Pounds tipping and paid access.
Upload, publish, and share video content within the community — a community-governed alternative to YouTube. Subscriber channels, paid content, and no algorithm deciding who sees your work.
Create, publish, and browse community content — articles, guides, and resources you can like, comment on, bookmark, and search, with recommendations that respect your privacy.
Collaborative live-canvas mind maps for planning, learning, and thinking together — auto-layout, templates, and export, edited by your group in real time.
Browse and adopt ready-made activities into your own community — with update notifications when the original improves, and full offline access.
Real democratic participation. One man or woman, one vote. Every decision on the record.
Formal proposals, binding votes, consensus and ranked choice mechanisms, community juries for dispute resolution, and committee structures. Constitutional amendments require supermajority. Every decision archived permanently.
Builder-created sub-communities within ETC — similar to Mighty Networks or Circle. Their own membership, their own rules, their own spaces. Builders create and manage; members join by invitation or application.
Start and run your own private organisation on ETC — request to create one, get approved, and lead it with the full admin console: members, roles, governance, finances and every feature you choose to switch on. Your community, your rules, your data.
Create and manage community events, RSVPs, paid ticketing, recurring meetups, and shared community calendars. Integrated with the economy for paid events and time-banking.
Tasks, boards, milestones, and team coordination tools for community projects. Integrate with volunteering, calendar, and the economy to track contribution and reward participation.
Member-led justice, not corporate takedowns. Reports become cases, cases go to jury panels with evidence and deliberation rooms, and verdicts can be appealed — all on the record.
A web of trust built by real men and women — karma, badges, and vouches that carry weight, with sanctions and anti-gaming to keep it honest.
Quick community polls with clear results — run them in any group to take the temperature before a formal vote, or simply to decide together.
Browse and search the men and women in your community — skills, interests, and profiles — so you can find the right member to ask, hire, or work alongside.
A member-edited knowledge base for your community — how-tos, local knowledge, rights information, and community history. Version-controlled and governed by member trust level.
Full case management for ongoing legal, rights, and community situations — tracking evidence, correspondence, outcomes, and involved parties across multiple simultaneous cases. Assign cases to working groups or advisors with full audit trail.
For those who want to create, sell, and grow within the community. Builder tier features.
Community relationship management for Builder-tier members. Track your community members, segment by interest or trust level, manage follow-ups, and coordinate outreach — all within ETC's encrypted infrastructure.
Promote your courses, events, products, and services to relevant community members. Target by interest, location, and trust level. No advertising to the open web — your marketing stays within the trusted community.
Comprehensive analytics for Builder members — community growth, engagement, revenue across all modules, event attendance, course enrolments, and marketplace performance.
Connect ETC to your existing tools — accounting software, external booking systems, and third-party services. Builder-tier API for reading and writing community data within your scope.
Resource booking, availability management, appointment scheduling, and rota coordination. Integrated with the calendar and economy for paid bookings.
Add your offspring free under your membership. Age-appropriate access controlled by you. Their accounts grow with them — converting to full membership at 18 with your vouch as their first community introduction.
Build rich pages and public microsites from drag-and-drop blocks — templates, live collaboration, and version history. No separate hosting, no web developer needed.
Make the community yours — your colours, your logo, your look — across your organisation's spaces, so members feel at home in a place that carries your identity, not ours.
Browse and add community-built apps to extend your experience. Publishing and curating your own apps for others to install is on the way.
Point your own domain at your community space, with DNS verification working today and automatic certificate provisioning coming soon.
Quiet corners that are just yours. Private tools for reflection, focus, and keeping life in order.
Far more than a diary — a truly private, end-to-end encrypted space that's yours alone. Keep a medical journal to track symptoms, medication and appointments; a gratitude, travel or dream journal; or use it as a scrapbook to write stories, poems and memories. Voice notes with transcription, photo attachments, reminders, and a timeline of your days.
Meditation, Pomodoro, and interval timers with interval bells and ambient sound — presets, a guided library, group sits, and gentle streak tracking.
A private personal to-do board on the same engine that powers community projects — capture, organise, and get things done, just for you.
Save and pin anything — groups, listings, events, threads, places — into personal collections, synced across your devices and ready offline.
Find your way in fast. Unified search and always-on guidance, so nothing in the community is more than a moment away.
One search across groups, events, listings, forums, and members — with saved filters and suggestions — so you find what you need without hunting through menus.
In-app guided tours and help, right where you are — contextual panels that explain each feature the moment you reach it.
Raise a support ticket and track it to resolution — reach the ETC team or your organisation's admins for help, with a clear history of every request. Coming soon as the support desk comes online.
A warm first-run welcome and step-by-step tours that ease every new member in — so no one feels lost on day one.
Ask for what you want built, and vote on what others have asked for. Duplicate detection keeps it tidy, and a public changelog shows what shipped.
The from £4/month base membership is not a stripped-down trial — it is a foundation built to carry its own weight. These features are included in every membership — though some, such as governance voting, require a minimum trust level earned through community participation. No module add-on is required for any of these.
ETC follows the natural calendar. Four times a year, founding members gather — face to face — to celebrate what we have built, set the next quarter's priorities, and shape the direction of the community. Think AGM, but one you will actually want to attend.
The first ETC founding member gathering. Governance celebrations, roadmap votes, community connection, and the official launch of member governance.
Founding membersCommunity marketplace fair, learning showcase, governance updates, and celebration of the growing community economy.
Founding membersHarvest gathering — celebrating the year's community economy, trading accomplishments, and preparing for the next development phase.
Founding membersYear-end reflection, governance review, roadmap votes for 2028, and welcoming the milestones of the year together.
Founding membersAs a Private Members Association, ETC is a community of real men and women deciding together what to build — in the digital world and the physical one. These are not features we are delivering to you. They are things we will build together as the community grows and members vote for them.
Land, food growing, saunas, oxygen chambers, and wellness facilities — collectively owned and operated by members. A real place to gather, heal, and grow together. The community votes on location, facilities, and access.
A physical and digital library resource for members — books, reference materials, and educational resources collectively curated and shared. No subscription. No Amazon. Just members sharing knowledge.
A community-run insurance scheme for members' vehicles — pooled risk, member governance, and rates that reflect the trust the community has built rather than anonymous actuarial data.
A community postbox and mail handling service — giving members a trusted address for correspondence, privacy from surveillance, and a physical connection point for the community.
Member-organised health services — nutrition guidance, alternative therapies, fitness coordination, and peer support networks. Built by members who care about health, not corporations that profit from illness.
This list is not exhaustive — it is just where our imagination reaches today. The community will vote on every new initiative. If enough members want it and are willing to build it together, it gets built.
Choose your use case and join the waitlist. Membership is from £4/month — or back the build now to become a founding member. The founding phase is open.
