An Instagram alternative where you share your voice, not a highlight reel
Yapp, the voice-first social network, swaps the camera for a microphone. There's nothing to filter, crop, or caption — you just say what you think, in your own voice.
No vanity metrics, no viral chasing. Just real people having real conversations. Yapp is ad-free and privacy-first.

Yapp vs Instagram
A plain look at what each platform is built around. Instagram is a widely used app built around photos, short videos, and ads; Yapp is built around voice.
| Topic | Yapp | |
|---|---|---|
| Main format | Voice posts of up to 2 minutes (10 for founders) | Primarily known for photos, Stories, and Reels |
| What you share | Your thoughts, out loud, with no character limits | Images and video, usually with captions |
| Your feed | Only people you follow, in the order they posted | Posts, suggested content, and ads |
| Ads | Ad-free | Ads are part of the experience |
| Likes and follows | You can choose to keep them private | Public counts are a familiar part of the app |
Say it instead of staging it
Image-first apps reward the perfect shot. Yapp rewards saying something real. Share your thoughts through voice recordings — no character limits, just authentic expression. Share your real thoughts and emotions through your voice, creating deeper connections with every post.
Because it's voice-only, there's no outfit to plan and no lighting to fix. Share without showing your face: comfort and authenticity without video pressure.
Support without the spotlight
On Yapp, supporting someone doesn't have to become a public statement. You can choose to keep your likes and follows private. There are no vanity metrics to chase — just meaningful interactions and genuine community building.
Conversations happen out loud, too. Reply on any post with a voice comment, or have private one-on-one voice conversations that feel like real discussions.
Pick your audience, post by post
Close friends shouldn't be an afterthought. Every time you post, choose Public, Friends, Inner Circle, or a custom group. Founding members can also share to the Founders Circle, a private audience that only numbered founding members can hear.
