## What is YapHive?

YapHive is a private place to talk with the people you already know — a team, a club, a family, a training group, a crew. You get in by invitation, and that is the only way in. There are no public rooms, no strangers and no algorithm deciding what you see.

HIVES
A Hive is a private room. Nothing inside one is visible from outside it, and no Hive can see into another. In each Hive you wear a persona of your own: a name, a picture and a line about you that belong to that Hive alone. The same person can be "Sam" in one Hive and nobody at all in the next.

YAPS
A Yap is what you post — up to 500 characters, carrying four pictures or a video, a voice note, a poll. Reply to it, react to it, save the ones worth keeping. Address it to the whole Hive, or to a Swarm: a named group inside the Hive, so the five-a-side side of a club never has to mute the rest of it.

CALENDAR
A Yap can happen at a time. Give it a date and it becomes an event, with Going, Maybe and Can't underneath it and a roster of who answered what. Every event in the Hive lands on a shared calendar you can read by month, by week or by day.

CHAT
One to one or in a group, with pictures and voice notes, inside the Hive where you know each other.

FEEDBACK SWARM
Every Hive has a room for saying what's working and what isn't. Opening it puts you in it: you read what everybody else has said and add your own, filed under a category and answered in replies underneath, where it does not sink out of sight.

FOR THE PEOPLE WHO RUN ONE
Invite codes with a use count and an expiry. A noticeboard with read receipts. Roles, a member directory, and a handover. Reports from members, triaged in the app.

QUIET BY DESIGN
No advertising. No analytics. No tracking. Nothing about you is sold, because there is nobody to sell it to. YapHive is in English and German, and it follows the language on your account to every device you sign in on.

YapHive is invitation-only: you will need a code from a Hive that has asked you to join. Minimum age 16.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-10-11

• Who's coming, right on the card: Going / Maybe / Can't with the counts — tap to answer from the feed
• Answers in colour: Going green, Maybe orange, Can't red
• Calendar: a new Upcoming list of what's coming, by date
• Swipe a Yap to the left to open it
• Videos are shrunk to HD (720p) on your phone before they upload — smaller, faster and they play everywhere, with a progress tile while they're prepared

### 1.3 — 2026-10-07

Joining is a code now: install YapHive, sign in, and enter the short code a Hive's admin gives you — like K7QM-4XPA — or scan its QR code. No links needed.

• Personal information: add your real name and date of birth in Settings, all optional. Only you and the owners and admins of your Hives see your real name.
• Birthdays on the calendar: show your birthday — day and month only — in the Hives you choose, with its own Birthdays filter.
• New Hive cards in Settings: see at a glance which Hive you're in, switch with one tap, and turn privacy, alerts and your birthday on or off per Hive.
• The reply box is full width, and the keyboard no longer covers the Reply button.
• Feeds, bookmarks and profiles load much faster.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-28

• Calendar: show several class types at once, e.g. CrossFit and Kindertraining together
• Share videos from your photo library
• New versions arrive right away: YapHive asks when an update is ready
• The app version is shown in Settings, plus fixes and improvements

### 1.1 — 2026-09-26

New in 1.1:
• CrossFit sessions for gyms that run classes: a roster with a capacity and a waiting list, the workout, and your own entry — switched on per Hive.
• Voice notes, recorded and played right in the app.
• Dates and times picked with your phone's own calendar and clock.
• An open Yap updates live as people reply or register; pull down to refresh it.
• New here without an invitation? Look around a demo Hive with one tap.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-25
