Find your local community on Yapper
Real people sharing updates, recommendations, events, and useful local info - so you always know what’s going on around you.
Desktop + Mobile
Use the web app for a wider canvas and the iPhone app when you want the same local feed in your pocket.
Post in seconds
Share a quick yap, add a photo, or turn it into a poll when you want fast input.
Stay in the loop
Get notified for likes, comments, mentions, and joined discussions without the noise.
One local feed, two ways in
Open the web app when you want a bigger reading view. Keep the iPhone app close when you want to check in, post quickly, or catch up away from your desk.

Local feed
Users open Yapper to see what people nearby are talking about right now, from local recommendations to photo updates and quick questions.
Post fast
The compose flow is lightweight. People can publish a plain-text update, add one photo, or switch into poll mode when they want quick feedback.
Notification controls
Yapper lets users decide exactly which interactions matter: likes, comments, mentions, joined discussions, and device push alerts.
Polls and local recommendations
The feed supports quick community voting alongside open-ended requests, which makes the app useful for recommendations, decisions, and local help.
A simple local loop instead of a sprawling social network
Across both the web app and the iPhone app, the product stays intentionally narrow: nearby relevance first, quick posting, lightweight interaction, and clear notification controls.
Proximity first
The main job of Yapper is helping users see what people nearby are talking about without wading through global noise.
Fast contribution
Posting is light enough for quick local observations, advice requests, live updates, photos, and single-question polls.
Useful feedback
Polls and replies give users a quick way to ask the crowd for decisions, recommendations, and consensus.
Low-noise follow-up
Granular notification settings keep people informed when a conversation matters without turning the app into a constant interrupt.
Healthy local conversation is still a product feature
Clear posting flows only work if the community stays usable, so moderation and abuse controls remain part of the core product.
How Yapper protects local communities
- Automated screening: suspicious spam, hate, and repeat abuse are flagged before reach expands.
- Human review: reports are triaged by moderators with documented decisions and appeal paths.
- Community controls: local leaders can set channel standards and escalate harmful behavior quickly.
- Rate limits: anti-raid and anti-harassment safeguards reduce pile-ons during heated local moments.
Zero tolerance for targeted harm
Doxxing, credible threats, and harassment campaigns trigger immediate enforcement, including account restrictions.
