Open Access provides you with a selection of portals to enjoy for free - with no ads, no usage restrictions, and no time limits.
Each month, we handpick three portals from across the Portal Library, offering you new places to focus, unwind, create, sleep, or simply take a moment to breathe.
Here are this month's Open Access portals:
Modern life is drawing us further indoors, and further from nature. At our desks. On our phones. In front of screens. Enclosed by walls.
We believe a connection to nature is fundamental to our health and wellbeing - and a quiet, essential part of being human. It shouldn’t be a luxury, or something reserved only for those who can afford it.
Open Access is all about making Portal and the benefits it can provide as accessible to as many people as possible. Not as a replacement for the world beyond your walls. A way to feel less apart from it.
If you want to explore our entire Library, Premium Membership opens the door.
It gives you the freedom to explore over 100 portals from around the world, so you can discover the perfect location for the moment - whether you want to focus, unwind, sleep, create, or simply feel a little more like yourself.
Portal is made by a small British indie team.
No ads. No tracking. No one to answer to but you.
Our Premium Membership is how we keep it that way - allowing us to stay independent, keep improving Portal, and continue capturing some of the most beautiful places in the world.
We’re also continually researching the relationship between Nature and human flourishing - exploring how we can bring what we learn back into Portal, make the experience more effective, and understand the ripple effect it can have beyond the screen.
When you become a Premium Member, you’re not just unlocking the full Portal Library. You’re helping us build the kind of Portal we believe the world needs.
We understand that Portal Premium isn’t affordable for everyone. If cost is a barrier, please get in touch.
We set up our Community Fund for that very reason. Each year, we set aside part of our budget to provide Portal Premium to people who need a little extra help getting through the door.
There’s nothing complicated about it.
We simply don’t want price to be the reason someone who could benefit from Portal has to go without it.
If you have any questions about Open Access, our Community Fund or Premium Membership, please take a look at our FAQs, or drop us a line at hello@portal.app.
