Frequently Asked Questions
-
Purple Thread is a daily kindness practice designed to help turn good intentions into action. Each day, you receive one small, guided act of kindness you can practice in everyday life. One small act. Every day.
-
Each day, Purple Thread offers you one small act to discover. You do it, reflect on what happened, and connect with others if and when you choose. Then you continue tomorrow. Discover, Do, Reflect, Connect, Continue.
-
Not in the traditional sense. Purple Thread isn't built around followers, popularity or accumulating likes. Community features are meant to encourage connection and reinforce practice, not turn kindness into performance or competition.
-
No. Purple Thread is designed for people of all faiths and people who do not practice a religion, and it is not affiliated with any political party, candidate or movement. People can disagree and still choose to treat one another with humanity and respect.
About Purple Thread
Using the App
-
Small, realistic acts: checking on someone, expressing appreciation, listening intentionally, offering help, reconnecting, or doing something thoughtful that might otherwise be forgotten. Purple Thread isn't about grand gestures. Small counts.
-
No. Purple Thread encourages consistency, not perfection. If an act doesn't fit your circumstances, boundaries or safety, skip it — you can continue tomorrow.
-
No. Sharing and community participation are optional. Some acts may be deeply personal and never need to be shared at all.
-
Only information you intentionally choose to share through available community features may be visible to others. Private activity and account information are handled according to Purple Thread's Privacy Policy.
-
Skip it. You know your circumstances, relationships, boundaries and safety better than an app does. Kindness should never require you to put yourself or someone else in an uncomfortable or unsafe situation.
