Looking for a voice-only Marco Polo alternative?

COPY is a voice-only Marco Polo alternative for iPhone. You send a message, your friend listens when they're free, and they send one back.

Just say it

Matt and I made COPY as a little walkie talkie. Pick your friend on the dial. Hold down. Talk. Let go.

You can tell the whole story without pointing a camera at yourself. Your friend opens COPY to listen, then holds the button to reply.

What changes from Marco Polo

Marco Polo lets you go back and watch a Polo again. COPY messages disappear after everyone has played them, or after seven days. With COPY Club, you can replay a message for ten minutes after listening.

Marco Polo works on iPhone and Android. COPY's public app is iPhone-only today.

And if all you need is to listen to existing Polos with the app closed, Marco Polo Plus already has background listening.

Try one message each way

Talking in COPY is free. Invite one friend and send a message each way. You connect through the link, with no phone number or email to register. Wi-Fi or cellular data works.
