⚠️ Early Access Notice: Weavid is currently in development. Not all features, policies, and security measures described on this site are fully implemented yet. During early access and testing, features and policies may change. By participating in early access, you understand that this is a testing phase and the final product may differ from what's described here.

Share Boldly. Keep Your Privacy.

The social video platform built for humans, not algorithms.

End-to-end encrypted DMs, EU-hosted data, creator protection, and virtual pets. Built in Europe with transparency and user rights at the core.

Why Weavid is Different

We built Weavid because social media should respect your privacy, protect your content, and keep you engaged without the doomscrolling. Here's how we're changing the game.

🐾

Virtual Pets

Our killer feature! Adopt adorable virtual pets that *REDACTED* Sorry, but we can't share all the details yet. We will have more information as we get closer to implementing this feature

🧘

Wellness-Focused Engagement

Earn points for joining livestreams, creating content, and completing mindfulness sessions — not for passive scrolling. Take breaks with 15-minute nature sound sessions, breathing exercises, and calming visuals.

🔒

End-to-End Encrypted DMs

Your private conversations belong to you. We use Signal Protocol-style encryption — only you and your recipients can read your messages. We can't decrypt them, even if legally requested.

🛡️

Client-Side PII Encryption

Your name, email, and phone number are encrypted on your device before they ever reach our servers. You control the keys. We literally cannot access your personal information.

🎨

Creator Protection

Automatic attribution on stitches and duets that can't be removed. Watermarks on downloads. Perceptual hashing detects reuploads and auto-credits the original creator. Your content stays yours.

🚫

No Dark Groups

All groups have public summary pages showing activity metrics without revealing member identities. Automatic flagging if abuse reports exceed 10% of content. Transparency prevents harm.

🌍

EU Data Sovereignty

Your account data lives on Exoscale servers in Switzerland/Germany — outside US CLOUD Act jurisdiction. GDPR compliance isn't just legal, it's architectural.

Separation of Concerns

Public videos are delivered via Cloudflare R2 for speed. Identity mapping stays in the EU database. No single breach exposes both your content and your identity.

🎯

Smart Content Filtering

Age-appropriate content levels (Everyone, Teen, Mature, Private Mode). Teens are locked to appropriate content. Adults opt-in to mature content. Safety by design.

Our Story & Mission

Why we're building Weavid and what makes us different from every other social platform.

The Problem We're Solving

Social media has become toxic. Endless scrolling, anxiety-inducing algorithms, data mining, privacy violations, and platforms that treat creators as content factories instead of humans. We watched friends struggle with mental health, privacy breaches, and content theft. Enough was enough.

Built in Europe, For the World

We're headquartered in Europe because EU privacy laws actually protect users. GDPR isn't just compliance checkboxes for us — it's the foundation of how we built Weavid. Your data stays in the EU, under Swiss/German jurisdiction, outside US government surveillance reach.

Privacy as Architecture

Most platforms bolt on privacy features as an afterthought. We built Weavid from the ground up with privacy baked into every layer. Client-side encryption means we literally cannot access your personal information. E2EE means we cannot read your messages. It's mathematically impossible.

Humans Over Algorithms

We don't optimize for "engagement at any cost." Our algorithm prioritizes content you'll actually enjoy, not content that makes you angry or anxious. Virtual pets reward healthy behaviors. Mindfulness breaks are built in. We want you to feel good when you close the app.

Creators First

Creators deserve respect and protection. Automatic attribution ensures you always get credit. Watermarks protect downloaded content. Perceptual hashing catches content thieves. We're building the platform creators asked for, not the platform advertisers want.

Community Funded

We're launching via Kickstarter because we want accountability to users, not venture capitalists. When you back Weavid, you're not just supporting development — you're joining a movement to reclaim social media for people.

Content Levels

Age-appropriate content filtering that actually works. Choose your comfort level, or lock to age-appropriate defaults.

Everyone (E)

General Interest

Safe for all ages. Family-friendly content, no mature themes. Perfect for young teens and families.

Teen (T)

A Little Edge

Suitable for 13+. Some mild language, teen topics. Age-verified at signup. Locks out mature adult content.

Mature (M)

Real Talk

17+ only. Stronger language, adult themes, artistic nudity. NO pornography. Self-attestation at signup.

Private Mode (P)

Minimal Footprint

View videos and message friends who add you (after 30 days of friendship). Can't add friends yourself, comment, or join groups. 3-day cooldown to disable, 5-day cooldown to re-enable. Maximum privacy mode.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Weavid, answered clearly and honestly.

When will Weavid launch?

We're targeting a Kickstarter campaign in early 2025, with beta access for backers by mid-2025. Full public launch targeted for late 2025. Sign up for our email list to be notified when we go live.

Will Weavid be free?

Yes! Core features are free forever. Premium features (Pet Premium, advanced customization, storage upgrades) are available via optional subscription. Backers get lifetime discounts and early access perks.

What devices will Weavid support?

iOS and Android mobile apps at launch. Web version coming later. We're building mobile-first because that's where social video lives.

Can I really not recover my encrypted data if I lose my key?

Correct. If you lose your client-side encryption key, we cannot recover your encrypted personal information (email, phone, real name). This is by design — it's what makes your data truly private. We'll provide clear warnings and backup options.

What if someone shares illegal content?

We have robust reporting and moderation systems. Public content can be reported and reviewed. For encrypted DMs, users can report abuse — their device decrypts the evidence and re-encrypts it for reviewers. Zero tolerance for CSAM, with immediate law enforcement reporting.

How do you make money without selling data?

Optional premium subscriptions (Pet Premium features, extra storage, advanced customization). No ads, no data selling, no tracking. We make money when we provide value to users, not when we exploit them.

Is Weavid really more private than other platforms?

Yes. Other platforms encrypt data in transit and at rest, but they hold the keys — meaning they can decrypt your data whenever they want. We use client-side encryption for PII and E2EE for DMs, meaning we literally cannot access your private information.

What about free speech vs. hate speech?

We support free expression, including controversial opinions and political speech. We prohibit hate speech (attacks on protected groups), targeted harassment, threats, and illegal content. Context matters. See our full Terms for details.

How do Virtual Pets work?

Adopt a virtual pet! More details will be released as we get closer to this feature!

Can I delete my account and data?

Absolutely. You can delete your account at any time. All your data is permanently removed within 30 days (including backups). This is your GDPR right to erasure. See our Account Deletion Policy for details.

What makes Weavid better than TikTok/Instagram/Snapchat?

Privacy: We can't access your personal info or read your messages. Creator protection: Automatic attribution and watermarks. Wellness: Features that reduce doomscrolling. EU hosting: Outside US surveillance jurisdiction. No data selling. No algorithmic manipulation for ad revenue. We're built for users, not advertisers.

Will there be content I disagree with?

Probably. We support diverse viewpoints and free expression. Use content filters, block users, and curate your feed. We moderate illegal content and harassment, but we don't ban opinions just because they're unpopular.

We're launching on Kickstarter soon. Be the first to know when we go live and get exclusive backer rewards.
