A Facebook alternative built around your voice
Yapp, the voice-first social network, is a calmer way to keep up with friends and family. Instead of typing status updates, you share short voice posts — and the people you care about hear how you're really doing.
You decide who hears every single post, and your feed shows only the people you follow, in the order they posted. Yapp is ad-free and privacy-first.

Yapp vs Facebook
A plain look at what each platform is built around. Facebook is a widely used network built around photos, text posts, and ads; Yapp is built around voice.
| Topic | Yapp | |
|---|---|---|
| Main format | Voice posts, voice comments, and voice messages | Primarily known for text posts, photos, and video |
| Who sees a post | Chosen per post: Public, Friends, Inner Circle, a custom group, or Founders Circle | Audience settings for posts and profiles |
| Your feed | Only people you follow, in the order they posted | A mix of friends, pages, groups, and ads |
| Ads | Ad-free | Ads are part of the experience |
| Having a say | Founding members vote on platform decisions | Run by the company that owns it |
Hear the people you care about
A typed update tells you what happened. A voice post tells you how someone felt about it. On Yapp you hear the laughter, excitement, and genuine personality behind every story and update — the kind of thing that gets lost in a line of text.
Voice also takes the pressure off. You don't need to show your face or stage a photo. Voice-only means comfort and authenticity without video pressure, so it's easy for anyone in the family to join in.
Privacy you set every time you post
Not every update is meant for everyone. Yapp lets you set who sees each post individually — Public, Friends, Inner Circle, or a custom group — every time you post. It's not a blanket setting buried in your profile.
Share a family update with your Inner Circle, a quick thought with Friends, and an opinion with the whole world, all from the same account. You can also keep your likes and follows private, so supporting someone doesn't become a public statement.
A feed that ends
Your Yapp feed only shows posts from people you follow, in the order they posted. Nothing is reordered to keep you scrolling. When you've caught up, we tell you — and you can get on with your day.
