I built a social network for locked subs (and alphas)
I discovered chastity about a year ago and within the past 6 months or so, I started practicing it, truly having the experience. I found this subreddit, among others, to be a great resource, however I felt like Reddit alone isn’t enough to truly build and engage with the community. While I have tried other apps in the space, they didn’t quite address my needs and I found myself going back to Reddit or Twitter for more meaningful interactions.
So I thought, maybe I need to be the one to build the thing all these apps could to do wayy better- build community, promote active user-ship by design, and be a place we can express ourselves creatively, while building lasting friendships, and also- find that Keyholder to engage with 😏.
So- I built LockedFans (locked. fans/r/gaychastity). I’ve spent the last 82 days testing and iterating with about 85 beta users and I think I’m ready to release it into the wild to get more feedback from the community!

Please let me know your thoughts. What do you love, what do you hate?
Some core features include:
- A real feed designed for chastity content — posts, photos, comments, reposts, the social stuff you'd expect, but the whole community is people in the lifestyle
- Keyholder/lockee matching with filters that actually make sense — online-only vs IRL, experience level, dynamic preferences, interests. Swipe-style with mutual-like detection.
- Interest tags at signup so your Discover feed surfaces people you'd actually want to follow, not random profiles
- Direct messaging, story-style posts with reactions and replies, and a comments system built for actual conversation
- Session tracking at its core. Every post you make fulfills the daily cage check requirement to verify your lock status while locked— log your lock-ups, build, show streaks on your profile, meet milestones, or choose a lockup session based on specific goals
If you've tried other apps in this space — what worked, what didn't? Genuinely curious what people here would want from something like this.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts! I truly want to build something we can all be proud of.
