Give cities
back their
soul.

Before the feed. Before the algorithm. Before the notification. People belonged somewhere. We're giving that back.

Scroll

We didn't lose our communities.

"We just handed them to someone who doesn't live there."

Facebook, TikTok, Instagram — they are extraordinary machines. But they are optimised for one thing: keeping you on the screen. Every minute you scroll is a minute you're not in your city.

European cities deserve better. Their residents deserve better. The businesses, artists, organisers, and local voices that make a city alive deserve a stage that is actually theirs.

Townbase gives cities the tools to run their own social layer — events, places, businesses, people, community — all under their own brand, their own domain, their own rules. No 3rd party advertising. No manipulation. No data sold.

Just the city, working for the people who live in it.

Not a feature difference.
A mission difference.
