WHY VOCIAL? Social feeds are noisier than ever. Vocial takes a different approach. Instead of watching, we listen. Real voices. Real stories. Real conversations. Record what’s on your mind, discover people worth listening to, and connect through voice — publicly or privately. LISTEN & DISCOVER Explore stories, opinions, rants, conversations, music, and moments across different topics and communities. Search for people and posts, or discover something new through curated categories. SPEAK & CONNECT Record and share your voice in seconds. Reply with voice comments, react, follow people you enjoy listening to, or take the conversation private with Direct Messages. Send text, voice messages, and photos when the conversation doesn’t need to be public. KEEP RECORDING Your thought doesn’t have to stop when you leave the app. On iOS, keep recording in the background or from the Lock Screen, with your recording always within reach. SHARE BEYOND VOCIAL Your voice doesn’t have to stay inside the app. Share public posts with anyone through a simple link — no Vocial account required to listen. Shared posts also include a transcript, making them easy to listen to or read anywhere.
