A calmer alternative to Nextdoor
Built around neighbors.
Not advertisers.
A neighborhood app should help you connect with the people nearby. Here’s what The Loop does differently.
Newest first. Always.
A chronological feed, with no engagement ranking deciding what rises to the top. Filters hide posts; they don’t reorder the rest.
You set the volume.
Mute topics or people. Hide politics or threads flagged as contentious. Your choices change your own view.
Your inbox counts, too.
Participate through email, the website, or the iPhone app. You don’t have to install another app to join your neighbors.
Your feed, your settings
Keep the ladder.
Skip the argument.
Want neighborhood recommendations without the political debate? That’s your call.
Choose the topics you want, quiet voices you’d rather not hear, and hide threads flagged as heated. These controls affect what you see, not what your neighbors are allowed to say.
Posts stay in time order. Your settings stay yours.

Choose how you join in
Your neighborhood.
Your way of keeping up.
The same community, with a choice of how to participate. Create your account, join Bouldin Creek, and choose what works for you.
Like a neighborhood email list.
Choose “Mostly through email” to receive neighborhood conversations in your inbox. Reply to a conversation email and your neighbors can see your reply in The Loop, too.
Pick every message, a daily summary, or a weekly summary. You can join from the website without installing the app.
A place to check in.
Read the chronological feed, post and reply, browse topics, and connect with neighbors. Use the iPhone app or open the website on your phone or computer.
Your feed controls help you choose the kinds of posts you want to see.
Keep notifications on your terms.
In notification settings, choose email and iPhone push schedules: right away, daily, weekly, or never. Choose which activities can notify you. For push alerts, open the iPhone app and allow notifications on your device.
