Laughter has always carried trans+ people through uncertainty, loss, and grief. What if you could share more of it with friends - while supporting emerging trans+ comedians?

Instead of quickly re-sharing memes on Instagram, Shruti is a slower, more intentional form of digital care built around comedy.

Browse our growing library of original comedy content from trans+ comedians. And then select a piece of comedy that you’d like to gift to a friend as a digital gift card, with your own personalised message included.

And unlike other platforms, the Shruti app is owned by its artists and creators.

Please reach out with your bio and social media links if you want to become a member and showcase your comedy in the Shruti app. We offer regular sharing circles and chances for comedians to co-create together. Contact support@shruticollective.com

A gifting app inspired by penguins

Two penguins, one gives a pebble to the other in its beak

“In the wild, Gentoo penguins present pebbles to their potential mates as part of bonding rituals. The pebble isn’t just a rock, it’s a gift, a gesture, a way of saying “You matter to me.”

In neurodivergent communities, especially among Autistic people, the term Penguin Pebbling captures this quiet, non-verbal way of showing affection, friendship, and trust. It’s about offering something small, not in monetary value, but in meaning.”
