The Stile story began in a cottage in rural Hertfordshire, with our family of four… plus a dog and three Shetland ponies!
With fieldsports and farming content often getting blocked, shadow banned and heavily trolled on mainstream platforms, and the addictive algorithms and intense advertising sapping our attention spans, we felt it was time for a different type of social media…
So… we set out on the journey to create our own social media app. A place that supports rural lifestyles and all that they entail.
Stile allows users to filter by category and location, to find the content they want to see and to connect with people and businesses in their local area. Events can be promoted and booked through Stile to help facilitate real life experiences.
The goal for Stile is to provide digital connections, particularly in remote areas, to help people meet new friends, learn about different rural hobbies, and explore new businesses. Then it’s time to put your phone away and experience the incredible countryside around us. Less screen time, more quality time.

Part Jack Russell, part chihuahua, part cat. Sometimes very well behaved, sometimes a little terror. Has an annoying bark but is incredibly patient with the children. Malts little ginger hairs everywhere. Sleeps on the bed.
Lovely old ladies that were bred by Rachel’s grandmother. Enjoy a good scratch and a carrot, not a fan of apples. Thankfully don’t sleep on the bed. Dinky is making a fantastic first riding pony for the girls.
In a modern world that pushes country life into the corner and dubs it as outdated and unpopular, the statistics say otherwise…
Stile is now live on iOS and Android, available to download from the App Store and Google Play.
