Record a 10-second clip — a punchline, a sound effect, your dog, your favorite line — name it, and it's live. Open the iMessage extension, tap a quip, and send it as a clean audio bubble. No more pasting URLs, no awkward voice memos, no fumbling with the mic button mid-conversation. GREAT FOR • The friend who replies with the same Vine quote 14 times a day • Roast sessions, inside jokes, group-chat callbacks • Creators making catchphrases, ad reads, podcast soundbites • Anyone tired of typing "lol" when a sound would do WHAT YOU CAN DO • Record clips up to 10 seconds with one tap • Add custom artwork to each quip • Send via the native iMessage extension — works in any conversation • Follow creators and ring the bell to know when they post • React with emoji, save quips you love, share to anywhere • Browse trending and most-sent quips in Search • Light and dark mode WHO THIS IS FOR Group-chat regulars, podcast fans, comedy creators, anyone who's ever wanted a quick way to fire off a sound instead of typing. Built for iOS and the Messages app — no separate app to open while you're texting. PRIVACY Your quips are public unless you mark them as private. We never share your contacts, location, or microphone activity outside of recording the quip you're making. You can delete your account and all your data from Settings → Delete Account at any time.
