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 San Francisco 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.

- School vs school — every post counts for your high school or college
- Students-only side that only verified students can see

Why San Francisco needs a real feed
Search “things to do in San Francisco” and you’ll get the same recycled listicles, months-old photos and AI-written roundups. None of it tells you what San Francisco looks like tonight.
Portal flips that. Posts in the San Francisco portal are filmed live and tagged where they happen, so you can check The Mission, Dolores Park or The Marina the way you’d check the weather — and see the real thing, posted minutes ago.
And because Portal just launched, San Francisco’s leaderboard is genuinely open: the people posting from California today are the ones who’ll own the top spots when everyone else shows up.
