WeekWave: Share Music Through People, Not Feeds Discover music through the people you trust, one song at a time. WeekWave is a private social music app where friends share thoughtful weekly picks. No public feeds, no follower counts, no endless scrolling. How It Works: Each week, you share your main song pick and up to two optional bonus tracks with your friends. To see what others shared, you first post your own wave. This keeps music discovery active, intentional, and mutual. Key Features: Weekly Music Sharing Post one main song per week, with up to two bonus tracks. A slower rhythm encourages thoughtful selection instead of daily noise. Unlock to Discover You unlock friends’ music only after sharing your own. Everyone participates. No passive scrolling. Friends-Only Circles Music is shared privately with people you choose. There are no public profiles or follower counts. Apple Music & Spotify Links Connect Apple Music to see recently saved songs and search for music.

One Edit Per Week You can edit your wave once per week—encouraging intentional choices without constant tweaking. Weekly Reset Every Sunday starts a new wave. A fresh week, a fresh song, and new discoveries. Why WeekWave: Most music apps focus on algorithms and endless feeds.
