Live walkie talkies or recorded voice messages?

A live walkie talkie needs someone listening at the other end. COPY records your voice and waits for your friend to open the app, so you don't both have to be there.

You get to say the thing while you're thinking about it. They get to hear it when they can.

That's the timing we chose

Matt and I built COPY around that back and forth. Hold down to record. Let go to send. Your friend opens the app, hears you, and replies.

Sometimes you should call

If you need to go back and forth right now, call. COPY doesn't have a live-audio mode.

The button makes it feel like a walkie talkie. The messages give you room to answer later. We like that combination.

Try it with one friend

Talking is free on iPhone. Send an invite and you'll share a channel. Wi-Fi or cellular data works.
