Turn your phone sideways.
shiver is a short-video app where every clip is horizontal. 16:9, edge to edge, the way a camera actually sees the world — no cropped heads, no black bars, no squeezed vertical frame. You hold your phone like a screen, and the picture fills it.
A FEED THAT FITS THE FRAME
Clips play full-width the second you open the app. Swipe for the next one, or switch on auto-scroll and let it run. The next clips are already loaded, so nothing spins in between.
FIVE WAYS TO BROWSE
• For You — a personal mix that learns from what you actually watch to the end
• Following — only the creators you picked
• Nearby — choose a city and see what people post there (you pick the place; shiver never asks for your GPS)
• Hot — what is picking up speed right now
• New — the freshest uploads first
GESTURES BUILT FOR ONE HAND
• Tap the top of the screen for the previous clip, the bottom for the next
• Tap the middle to pause and play
• Press and hold for 2× speed
• Double-tap to like
POST IN LANDSCAPE
Pick a clip from your library, write a caption, add hashtags, publish. 16:9 is the sweet spot and square (1:1) is the widest we take — portrait clips are not supported, on purpose. Every caption and hashtag is checked automatically against our Community Guidelines before a clip can appear in anyone's feed, and anything you report is reviewed by a person.
TALK TO PEOPLE
Like, comment, reply in threads, share, save clips for later, follow creators and send direct messages. The Activity tab collects every like, comment and new follower in one place.
DISCOVER
Search videos, browse trending hashtags, and open a hashtag to see everything posted under it.
SEE HOW YOUR CLIPS PERFORM
Creator insights show views, average watch time, a retention curve across the length of your video, and your like, comment and share rates — so you can see exactly where people stayed and where they left.
A CALMER KIND OF FEED
• No analytics SDKs, no advertising IDs, no third-party tracking
• No location permission — Nearby runs on a city you choose yourself
• Accounts and comments are stored on servers in the EU (Ireland); videos are transcoded and delivered by our streaming provider in the US
• Report any video, comment or account, block anyone, and every report is reviewed by a person
• Delete your account, with all of your videos and data, from inside the app
• Fully available in English, German, French and Spanish — pick the language in Settings
SHIVER PREMIUM — OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION
Everything above is free. shiver Premium is an optional auto-renewable subscription, and nothing in the app is locked behind it.
• shiver Premium Monthly — 1 month of Premium, $3.99 per month
• shiver Premium Yearly — 12 months of Premium, $34.99 per year ($2.92 per month)
Premium adds a badge to your profile, removes every subscription prompt in the app, keeps promoted clips out of your feed, and funds hosting and moderation instead of ad networks. Prices shown are for the United States; the App Store shows your local price before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is switched off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and the renewal is charged within 24 hours before that period ends. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.
