What is Off the Clock?

One or two paragraphs in plain language.

• A community site for people who already know each other, or know someone who does.
• Built on the Atmosphere (AT Protocol): you sign in with your Atmosphere identity, like a Bluesky handle or your own domain.
• Inside it are spaces: one for everyone (general), and others for a household, a club, a neighborhood, or a game night.
• Posts, events, polls, and bookmarks live in your own account, in permissioned spaces only members can read.

Name the people, not features.

• Groups that outgrew a group chat but don't want a public timeline.
• Households, clubs, neighbors, friends of friends, a small team off the clock.
• People already on Bluesky or elsewhere in the Atmosphere who want somewhere smaller.
• Who it is not for: open public communities, anonymous accounts, brands.

Three or four reasons, each a short paragraph.

• Vouched for. Nobody wanders in: every member was added by an admin, and joining is a deliberate step.
• Made for the group. Each space has its own members, feeds, policy, and admins.
• Yours to keep. Your posts are records in your own repository, not the site's database. If the site goes away, your data doesn't.
• Private by default. A space's posts are readable by its members only; nothing is on a public timeline unless you share it there yourself.

Optional. A small table against a group chat, a Discord server, a Facebook group, and a public Bluesky account: who can join, who can read, where data lives, what leaving costs.

Point each reader at one page.

• New member with an invitation: Getting started.
• Admin setting up a space: Running the community.
• Running your own Off the Clock: Developers.
