Quip is for those who want to stay connected without screen time, keep closer to their friends, and be inspired to live a life worth sharing!

Quip is a podcast-style social media that keeps you closer to your people, without the screen time.
Each week, you record a short voice note (we call it a Quip). It could be a life update, a story, a reflection, a music recommendation, or a joke... it's your regular slot in your friends' week, so you choose what to share! In return, every Monday you unlock a personalised podcast made entirely from your friends' Quips.
No screen time needed. Listen throughout your routine while commuting, cooking, cleaning, or training for a half-marathon. We want to free up your time to live outside the screen and create your best stories.
1. Add Friends
Invite your closest friends to the app and make sure to follow them. As soon as you have mutual connections, you'll be able to record your Quips.
WELCOME TO QUIP
2. Record Your Quip
Record a 3 to 8 minute weekly audio. It's your regular spot in your friends' week, so own it! Share how your stand-up comedy course is going, how your recent trip was, or how you survived the cruel exam season. You can also tell a story that happened to you this week, share something funny you witnessed, or drop a song you've been enjoying... you choose how to use it!
3. Listen & React
Every Monday (the week's saddest day), you'll receive a podcast of your friends' Quips. But only if you recorded one yourself!
Now you can listen and engage with your friends throughout your routine... a podcast can be listened to whilst cooking, commuting to uni, or training for your next half-marathon.
More connected than ever with less screen time.
Hear What Our Community Has to Say
“Actually made me call my brother back.” – by Emi W.
My brother and I have lived in different countries for a while now, and texting never really captured the way we communicate. But hearing his voice every week telling funny stories made me feel closer to him in a way I didn’t realize I missed. I’ve even started calling him more often just to ask about things he mentioned in his Quips. No other social app has done that for me before.
“We turned it into a family tradition.” – by DerekT_NZ
Every week, our family records Quips—even Grandma gets involved. It’s become this funny, heartfelt tradition where we all share little updates in our own voices. Honestly, it’s brought us closer than any group chat ever did. One time, my dad even made up an original sea shanty... It’s one of the few apps that’s actually changed how we connect.
“It got us talking for real.” – by Jae_Podhead
This week, one of my friends shared a six-minute Quip about going to therapy for the first time, and it led to one of the most meaningful conversations we’ve ever had. It made me realize how surface-level most of my social media interactions really are.
I’d love a few more features for reacting (maybe voice replies?), but overall it’s a beautiful idea, beautifully done.
"Perfect companion for my solo travels.” – by SoloSteph
I’ve been backpacking solo through South America, and recording a weekly Quip has become my version of an audio journal. I also get to hear updates from friends back home, which makes a big difference when you’re on your own. Last week I shared a story about getting lost on a hike and somehow ending up in a llama parade 😂. The reactions made me feel a lot less far away.
The only thing I’d ask for is offline playback—please add that soon!
