/VEE-ping/ short for "voice ping"

Say it.
Don't type it.

ViiPing is voice-only texting. Hold, talk for up to 15 seconds, let go. They hear your tone, your urgency and your humor, not just your words.

Down the hall or across the globe. Private, invite-only networks.

Why ViiPing

Most of what a message means lives in how it's said

Text strips the tone out. A call keeps it, but interrupts. ViiPing sits in between.

Text loses meaning

Short replies read as curt. Jokes read as anger. Urgency doesn't come through.

Calls cost attention

Both people have to stop at the same moment, for something that takes ten seconds to say.

Voice notes get buried

In chat apps they're a side feature, mixed into a crowded inbox, open to anyone with your number.

How it works

Hold. Talk. Release.

No dialing, no ringing, no waiting for someone to pick up.

1

Hold

Open a person or group and press the mic. A countdown shows the seconds left.

2

Talk

Say it in 15 seconds or less. Changed your mind? Cancel, and nothing is sent.

3

Release

It sends when you let go. An optional 2-second "Wait, don't send" catches second thoughts.

4

Chime

Their app chimes. One tap to listen, one tap to ping back.

No calls, on purpose. Need to talk? Ping them: "Hey, call me. I have something."

See it live
Features

Everything a quick voice message needs. Nothing it doesn't.

15-second pings

Short by design. Long enough to say it with feeling, short enough to listen to right away.

Auto-send on release

Let go and it's gone. Prefer to review first? Switch to manual send in settings.

"Wait, don't send"

An optional 2-second grace window after you let go, to catch the ping before it leaves.

Chime-only pings

One tap, no words. "Thinking of you." "Ping me back." "I'm here."

Threads, like text

Every conversation in one place, with unplayed markers and a badge on the app icon.

Every device, same app

On your phone's home screen and pinned to your desktop taskbar, with the same controls everywhere.

Modes

Listen when it suits you, or hear it the moment it lands

Normal

Chime, then listen

A distinct chime tells you a ping arrived. Play it when you're ready.

Walkie-talkie

Hear it as it arrives

Incoming pings play on their own, for everyone or just the people you choose. Great for a desk or a busy shift.

Groups

One ping, many people

Send a single ping to the whole office, crew or family.

Who it's for

Small circles that talk all day

Office to office

Front desk to back office, one site to another, without walking over or scheduling a call.

"Your 2 o'clock is here."

Distributed teams

Remote staff across time zones. Tone carries, and nobody has to be free at the same moment.

"Great work on that deck."

Crews on the move

Field crews and event teams spread across a building or a city, coordinating in seconds.

"Doors open in five."

Families

The sound of a voice for the small moments, without the phone tag.

"Leaving now. Love you."
Private networks

Your circle, your rules

Every ViiPing conversation happens inside a private network. No public directory, no strangers. One person can belong to several networks: family, the office, a client team.

  • Invite-only, with admin approval for every new member
  • Membership checked on the server for every single ping
  • Recordings encrypted in transit and kept in private storage
  • Pings auto-delete after 30 days

FAQ

Questions people ask

How do you say it?

VEE-ping. It's short for "voice ping." The two i's in the logo are two people facing each other.

Can I make calls with ViiPing?

No, on purpose. ViiPing keeps every conversation quick and asynchronous. If you want to talk live, send a ping asking for a call.

How long can a ping be?

Up to 15 seconds. That's enough to say it with feeling and short enough to listen to right away.

Who can reach me?

Only people in your private networks. Every new member is approved by the network's admin, and there's no public directory.

Do I need to download it from an app store?

No. ViiPing installs straight from the web onto your phone's home screen or your computer's taskbar, and works the same on both. Native Android and iPhone apps are planned for Version 2.
