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.
