Press kit
In one paragraph
HALL is one app for the parts of life that used to be scattered across a dozen: live debates, community clubs, local buying and selling, hiring a hand, radio, free films, news from outlets you choose, and meeting people nearby. It is built by Technites, a one-person company in Orem, Utah, and it is free. HALL Pass, the $14.99/month membership, removes every ad, skips ad segments inside videos, and can hide AI-generated content entirely — HALL scans uploads for both and labels them for everyone.
In one sentence
HALL is a free, one-stop app for real life — debate, community, local commerce, radio, video and more — with a $14.99 pass that removes HALL’s ads, skips the ad segments it finds in videos, and hides AI-labelled posts.
Facts
What is inside
27 HALLs today, each a full section of the app:
What makes it different
- No rage feed. Four of every five things you see are fresh and varied; one is from your interests. Nothing is tuned to make you angry.
- Ads are labelled, even inside videos. Every upload is scanned; creators declare paid promotion; the community can flag what slips through. HALL Pass skips the ad segments automatically.
- AI content is labelled too, from creator declarations, file provenance data and community flags — and HALL Pass can hide all of it.
- Local by default. Shop, Help, Ship, Ride, Events and Play are built around the people near you.
- Built by one person, funded by members and by ads — HALL Pass turns the ads off.
