The first social network you can trust.
Portal is a camera-only social app: every photo and video is filmed live inside the app and tagged to the place it was taken. No uploads, no filters from a camera roll, no AI, no bots — just real people showing you what’s actually happening in Raleigh right now. Posts expire after 48 hours, so the feed is always what’s happening now, and everyone competes on school, city, state and national leaderboards.
- 100% camera-only — nothing can be uploaded or faked
- School vs school — every post counts for your high school or college
- Students-only side that only verified students can see
- Leaderboards just launched, so top spots are wide open

Why Raleigh needs a real feed
Every guide to Raleigh shows you the same stock photos. What they can’t show you is which spots in Raleigh are actually worth leaving the house for right now.
Portal flips that. Posts in the Raleigh portal are filmed live and tagged where they happen, so you can check Glenwood South, Downtown Raleigh or Durham the way you’d check the weather — and see the real thing, posted minutes ago.
For creators, the timing matters more than the features: Raleigh doesn’t have an established Portal top 10 yet. Post consistently for a few weeks and that leaderboard can have your name on it.
