Rawly is a photo and video challenge app. Every day there is something new to shoot, and real people decide who wins. No ads. No filters. No gallery uploads. No algorithm. Just real. HOW IT WORKS - Pick a challenge, or start your own - Shoot it live inside the app, photo or video - The community votes for the best shot, not an algorithm - The winner takes the challenge RAW NOW Once a day, at a random time, everyone gets the same notification at the same moment. There is no topic: shoot whatever is in front of you. You have 20 minutes and one shot, a photo or a 5-second clip. Missed it? You can still post late until the next RAW NOW. See what the whole world was doing at the same moment. DAILY EVENT Every day everyone gets the same everyday object, from a spoon to a kettle. Shoot it, and the community votes for the favorites. DUELS Send a friend a link. You both shoot the same object, and everyone else picks the better shot. START YOUR OWN CHALLENGE Describe what you want shot, set the deadline and the prize. People compete, the community votes, and the winner takes the prize. CHALLENGES WITH REAL PRIZES Some challenges carry a real prize pool, funded by the people and brands who create them. Win one and the prize is yours: on standard challenges, 75% goes to the winner and 10% to the voters who backed it. Earnings are paid in Jeton and can be withdrawn to your bank account.

Actual earnings depend on challenge outcomes. WHY LIVE ONLY A challenge is only fair if every shot is real. So Rawly only lets you shoot live, inside the app. There is no way to upload from your gallery or a file. Right after the main shot, the other camera takes a second frame. It is kept as proof, and you decide if others can see it. EVERY PHOTO CAN BE CHECKED Every photo shared from Rawly carries a short code. Anyone can type it at rawly.app/verify, without an account, and see Rawly's copy of the photo and the minute it was taken. COMMUNITY VOTE No algorithm decides what rises. A day-one user competes equally with everyone else. CLIMB THE RANKS Win challenges, shoot RAW NOW and the Daily Event to rise from Plebs to Censor. Rank is earned, never bought.
