Yap!

Pull up and yap with your crew.

Working together is hard, and so is staying close. Group chats bury everything, and every call needs a calendar invite. Yap! is a Space your people can just pull up to: see who's around, drop into a conversation, and yap like you're in the same room.

Turn yapping into progress. Yapper keeps the lore as you go (what got said, what got decided, who's doing what), and Yap! picks up on the activity from the tools and products you use, so no one has to dig for the deets. Missed the meet up? Just check Yap!

Talk loose, ship tight. Built for builders by day and hanging out by night.

Building together is hard. Yap! lets you know what your team is working on, without asking for an update.

Context is scattered across your tools and hard to keep up with, so you chase status updates instead of building.

Yap! captures the work as it happens: notes and actions from conversations; activity from GitHub, Claude, VS Code, Figma and other tools. Then it turns it into progress the whole team can catch up on.

Yo guy! Whats the haps?

Hit the floor. This is your new space where presence and activity is expressive, creating a strong sense of “togetherness”. Forget that boomer crap of guessing whether someones presence dot is right or not. The floor shows you whats actually cooking in the moment.

  • Meet the crew

    Show up as a Bot, a Block, or your own Thumbnail. Bots are playful little heads, Blocks are chunky voxel critters, and Thumbnails put your face on the floor. Whatever you pick, your head says what you're up to: available, away or heads down, vibing to music, huddled up and talking, on camera, or sharing your screen.

  • Effortless Context

    Activity across your tools (GitHub, Claude, VS Code, Figma and more) and your conversations are summarized automatically, with action items captured. Know who's doing what, without status updates or standups.

  • Ask Yapper

    “Where are we with feature X?” Ask Yapper anything — or just @yap it in chat — and get answers grounded in your team's actual work, activity, and the conversations that lead to decisions, not guesses.

  • Better Together

    Reach anyone by walking over, no meeting invite required. Immersive presence keeps your team connected and focused on getting work done.

  • Yap! on iPhone

    The whole floor in your pocket. See who's around and what they're heads down on, catch a wave from a teammate, and wave back from wherever you are.

  • Yap! Organizes the Chaos

    Our agent chunks raw activity, conversation summaries and action items into meaningful insights and team digests automatically, ready in the Activity Feed.

  • Ship Faster Together

    Scroll the Activity Feed or ask Yapper what you missed, at your desk or on the go, and make informed decisions without waiting on a status update.

How Yap! works

  1. 1

    Connect your stack.

    Link GitHub, Claude, VS Code, Figma and the rest of your daily tools to Yap! in a few clicks.

  2. 2

    Choose what Yap! sees.

    Pick which apps and projects count as activity, and pause tracking any time. Nothing is captured that you haven't approved.

  3. 3

    Pull up your crew.

    Invite your team to a Space, set your status (online, heads down or away) and start yapping. Yapper takes it from there.

Under the hood

Native on Mac and iPhone
One Space across your desktop and phone, with your floor, chats and notes in sync between them.
Live voice and video
Huddles stream in real time over LiveKit, so pulling up to a teammate feels instant.
Activity from your tools
Integrations read events (commits, PRs, sessions, edits) at the app level, never your screen or keystrokes.
Yapper, anywhere
Mention @yap in any chat or ask from the Activity Feed; answers cite the work and conversations behind them.

Privacy, built in from the ground up

We believe your data is yours. Yap! is fundamentally designed to keep your team's communications and work activity secure, encrypted, and private.

Encrypted communications
We use LiveKit to ensure all your audio and video streaming data is securely encrypted in transit.
Secure data storage
All backend client data is encrypted at rest in our secure database environments.
Non-intrusive tracking
Activity is tracked safely at the OS level, without creepy vision readers or keystroke logging that invade privacy. You approve what gets tracked and what doesn't.
Zero code access
While we offer powerful integrations with third-party apps like Git and Claude, Yap! never touches or reads your source code.
Bring your own agent
Specify your own API key for Yapper, ensuring full control over the models you connect with.
Local AI & self-hosting Soon
We are bundling lightweight models for local on-device transcription and inference, with fully self-hosted LLM and DB options coming later.

Who we are

We're a small team at sw3ll.ai building the place where teams talk, build and ship together. We care deeply about software that feels human, keeps everyone in sync without the busywork, and respects your privacy.
