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. Universal links open directly in Spotify or Apple Music for playback. Spotify account connection coming soon. Personalized Suggestions Receive song suggestions inspired by the music you share and interact with. Designed to support discovery without replacing your friends’ recommendations. Reactions & Stickers React to friends’ waves with customizable stickers to express how their music made you feel. Streaks & Milestones Track your weekly posting streak and see how consistently you’ve shared over time. 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. WeekWave is designed around intentional sharing—a simple weekly habit that helps you discover music through real people, not popularity metrics. Ideal For People Who: - Prefer sharing music with close friends. - Enjoy discovering songs through personal recommendations. - Want a slower, more intentional music experience. - Are tired of algorithm-driven feeds and viral trends. - Value private spaces over public profiles. Privacy & Data Use: Your friend list and shared music are visible only to approved friends. WeekWave does not display public profiles or follower counts. You can export or delete your account data at any time from within the app. Requirements: - iOS 18.0 or later, app version 1.2 or higher. - Apple Music account (optional, for recently saved songs; Spotify connection coming soon). Get Started: Download WeekWave and start sharing music one week at a time. Discover songs through the people you care about—one wave per week.
