Rawly
Read full descriptionHide full description
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. TODAY Rawly opens on your day: RAW NOW, the object of the day and a free frame, and whatever is waiting for you. Shoot them and share the day card, today's frames on one picture. 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. Missed it? You can still post late until the next RAW NOW. OBJECT OF THE DAY Every day everyone gets the same everyday object, from a spoon to a kettle. Shoot it, and the community votes for the favorites. Keep your shot to yourself if you like, or show it today. CLUBS Start a club with friends. Each round has a topic: everyone shoots, then the club votes. A round's frames are seen only by those who shot it. Clubs for a city, a district or a campus take you in with a frame shot there. SPOTS Spots on the map hold one frame each. The first frame takes the spot, and anyone who shoots there can challenge it. A spot's frames are seen only by people who shot there. VS Send a VS to friends by name, or as a link. The first to shoot plays, everyone else picks the better shot. CHALLENGES Pick a challenge or start your own: say what you want shot, set the deadline and the prize. People compete, the community votes, and the winner takes it. Entered one? Vote on the other entries too, never your own. 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 Earnings are paid in Jeton and can be withdrawn to your bank account. Minimum withdrawal is 500 Jeton, with no Rawly commission. Only a Stripe processing fee applies at payout. Withdrawals are currently open in the EU, the UK, the US, Canada and Switzerland; we are working on other countries. You can join challenges, RAW NOW and the ranks from anywhere. Actual earnings depend on challenge outcomes. SEASONS, LEVELS AND BADGES Every month is a season: the top 10, 25 and 50 percent keep that season's trophy. Your level grows with your Score, and your badges show what you have played. Score comes only from challenges, RAW NOW and the object of the day. Win them to rise through the ranks from Plebs to Censor. Rank is earned, never bought. 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. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Messages are end-to-end encrypted with the Signal protocol. Club messages and photos are stored encrypted. Location is asked only when you tap something that needs it, and a spot or club check never keeps where you were. Screenshots and screen recordings are blocked in the app. Rawly is free and for people 18 and over. Download it and take on today's challenge.

Upvera is the network of the building process. Your startup is seen here for how it is built every day, not for its results alone. Add your startup, share what you did today; the network rewards proof, not claims. Feed and Discover Real progress from the founders you follow lands in your Feed. Discover finds new startups and founders by your interests. Add video to your posts, tag startups and people with @, repost or quote the work you like. Ranking is earned; visibility cannot be bought on any plan. Proof Connect GitHub, App Store, deploy and community links to your startup. Commits, releases and metrics stay on your profile as proof. Ranks Startups are ranked by posting rhythm, proof density and community support. Lend a wing to the startups you believe in with UPV, fold it whenever you like, and watch the change live. In Worlds, the community votes daily on well-known tech products. Messages and Collective Talk one-on-one with founders and swipe to reply. Create channel-based spaces for your team and community, and invite people. Ember The record of the day. Your photos and the work you did burn for 24 hours, then seal into the Log. Drops Share your profile, startup and posts as a Story, and let Rewind sum up your last 30 days. Upi Upvera's AI. Ask, plan, draft: Upi works from your startup and your posts, and it never writes numbers itself; it shows them from live data. Set up your own Upis and give each one its own instructions and knowledge. Membership Free makes you a full member of the network, with Upi on the Fast level for 40 messages a day. Build: three startups, all of Upi (Fast, Balanced and Deep; 200 messages a day, 3 Upis, web search and knowledge from files), a team space (Collective), auto proof cards (Ember), your month in motion (Rewind), the startup badge, the studio series of app icons and 3 UPV every month. Scale: everything in Build, unlimited startups, 10 Upis and 400 messages a day, value breakdown, the Value API with value alerts, the material series of icons and 8 UPV every month. Subscriptions renew monthly or yearly; payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period, the subscription renews at the same price; you can manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings. UPV packs are one-time purchases, not subscriptions. Terms of Use: https://upvera.co/terms/en/ Privacy Policy: https://upvera.co/privacy/en/
