Strip away the illusions
Only what's real, and only in the moment
95 million fake accounts on Instagram. Zero on Wabisabi.
Built around one core rule: if it didn't happen, it's not on Wabisabi. Every piece of content must be captured live—right now—via your camera or microphone. No filters, no edits.
AI-generated content is exploding. Deepfakes are everywhere. The line between real and fake is disappearing. If we don't build authentic spaces now, we'll lose the ability to trust anything online.
⚠️ 18+ only. For now. (Your health matters more than our growth)

Real Users, Real Metrics
Other platforms brag about DAU (Daily Active Users) and MAU (Monthly Active Users). But how many of those are bots? AI-generated accounts? Fake personas created in minutes?
Wabisabi: 1 device = 1 account = 1 human. No burner accounts, no bot farms, no vanity metrics. Real people having real conversations. When we say we have 10,000 users, we mean humans.
In the age of AI, authenticity isn't just a feature—it's the entire point.
We're building the alternative.

Take everything live, and live in the moment. No gallery uploads, no filters, no edits.
Add your voice
Your voice can't be filtered. Real-time recording makes AI cloning harder—you can't just paste in generated audio.
Lock and scroll
Multitask while you listen. Lock your queue and keep the audio playing as you browse.
Quality Over Quantity
2 posts per day means you'll actually think before you post. Should social media feel like a full-time job?
No more scrolling through your camera roll for the perfect shot. Just capture what's happening now and move on with your life.
It Gets Smarter With You
Privacy-preserving voice transcription that learns from your corrections
When you edit a transcription, Wabisabi learns—not by sending your audio to the cloud, but by training on your device. This is called federated learning.
Over time, the app gets better at understanding your accent, your speaking style, and the words you actually use. All without compromising your privacy.
Every time you fix a transcription, you're making Wabisabi better for everyone—including yourself.

Audio-First Storytelling
Captions, Comments, Replies, and Threads — all in Audio.
The Social Podcast is a novel way to build a hierarchical comment structure with audio recordings in a way that is reminiscent of written chat text forums. Your voice doesn't need to be perfect—that's wabisabi. It also enables navigation into the hierarchy with available buttons.
- Navigate through audio conversations like a comment section
- Lock your queue to keep listening as you go to other tabs
- Deep dive into comment threads with a single tap
- Record comments directly while listening

Civility Without Censorship
The community you've been waiting for
Every major platform has the same problem: you can't have a real conversation without someone being needlessly hostile. We're fixing that—not with AI censorship, but with community-driven accountability.
No instant takedowns. Visibility reduces gradually based on community consensus at scale. Penalties decay over time with good behavior. Public transparency, not shadow-banning. One account per person means real accountability.
How We're Different
| Other Platforms | Wabisabi |
|---|---|
| ❌ Opaque AI censorship | ✅ Community-driven thresholds |
| ❌ Arbitrary suspensions | ✅ Graduated penalties with decay |
| ❌ Shadow-banning & secrets | ✅ Public transparency |
| ❌ Burner accounts & bot farms | ✅ One account per person |
| ❌ Ban first, ask later | ✅ Warnings, context, reformation |
Say what you want. Just keep it civil.
Controversial opinions? Fine. Personal attacks? Not cool.
