Meet Alms, a new, social and green social network that emphasizes sustainability and health and strives to avoid anything that makes its competitors less pleasant.
Instead of relying on likes, trolls and the like, Elmas' agenda, which is now available for free on iOS and is expected to reach Android in the future, is to encourage users to take positive action in the real world.
The creator of the app, Alexander Nevdovsky, claims that his goal was to create an app that helps people live happier and more meaningful lives, which he claims other social networks do not exactly provide.
"The corona plague and isolation have caused many of us to get depressed, stay home and communicate less with friends and family," explains Nevdovsky, who began developing Elmas when the plague was at its height.
"I felt the world needed something that would be little more than a meditation app or mood diary. All of these are very nice, but they were not designed to enhance your life on a daily basis through interaction with the real world," he adds.
Instead of likes and slanders - challenges and successes.

Although Elmas was first launched last year, it recently received a new and updated version, which emphasizes social and community elements.
The user must choose the areas that interest him and are important to him, such as sustainability, spirituality, health, volunteering in the community and more.
Once registered, the user's interests will give him access to relevant activities, ventures and challenges posed by other creative users, from suggestions for gymnastic exercises to those who work from home, to fundraising activities.
When a user faces a challenge, the app will offer him to upload a post where he will tell about his success, thereby encouraging more users to pass it on.

Currently, Elmes has 30 regular challenge creators and thousands of daily users.
It aims to reach hundreds of creators in the coming months.
"I think a lot of times, people don't take a real initiative to improve their future," Lebedowski concludes.
"That's why such an app, in my opinion, would help them get ideas and inspiration from other users and implement them themselves. People really care."
