aikotoba lets you share text and voice posts through an exact keyword. Enter a keyword exactly to open matching posts. One keyword can bring together multiple posts, and the app clearly handles zero, one, or several results. There is no public feed or fuzzy search. Guests can search and view. Signing in is required to post, report, block, manage your posts or account, and use Pro features. A keyword is only a way to discover posts; it is not encryption or a secret vault, and other people can use the same keyword. Safety tools include per-post reporting, user blocking, moderation, support, and in-app account deletion.
