Hive Snaps App - βeta is out!
Welcome to @Snapie,
The official home of "Hive Snaps" app — where you’ll find everything you need to know about the newly launched app, and get ongoing updates about this exciting project.
But first — what is Snaps?
Snaps is a fairy recent new feature introduced by PeakD to allow users to post short-form content (up to 280 characters) — much like tweets, status updates, or microblogs — directly onto the Hive blockchain.
👍 They’re perfect for:
- Quick thoughts and updates
- Short tips and recommendations
- Sharing a photo or a single idea
- Linking to longer posts or external content
🔑 Key Features:
- No titles required
- No beneficiaries or advanced options on payout
- Supports images, tags, and markdown
- Shows in a special "Snaps" feed on PeakD
- Great for casual engagement and discovery
In other words, a Snap is a post 'on-the-go' — great for letting your followers know what you're up to, it can help build your audience, and of course, it pays too.
Enter: Hive Snaps!
Up until now, Snaps was only accessible through the PeakD frontend on your browser (via desktop or a phone). Now, with Hive Snaps app you can post snaps directly on your iPhone or Android - much like with other social media apps such as X and Bluesky.
Developed by @meno and @joseamenac, Hive Snaps is designed to boost engagement on Snaps through an exclusive (Snap-centric) mobile app, that offers a familiar and friendly social media UI, and an intuitive UX - that makes snapping more fun.
🧚♂️ Hive Snaps Features include:
- Easy sign-in with only 'username' and 'private posting key'
- An expanded array of emojis 🧟♀️🧞♂️🧚♂️🧜♂️🧝♂️
- No downvotes - for good vibes
- Precise post timestamp (date and time)
- Gif button - cause you gotta!
- Big 🔵 button - to make a new snap
- Comprehensive User Profile
- Simplified markdown for snap making - but can display most markdown effects.
- Notifications: follows, upvotes, replies, mentions
- User and content search 🔎
- #hashtags Snaps

The last builds I dont know how to install, as it is downloading a .bin rather than an .apk, what should I do?
I'm uploading an APK to our Github. The post will be updated with that info soon, and I'll make sure to tag you as well.

106 mega? ... Wow
Due to it being a cross platform app, the app itself has all the required libraries and plugins to interact with Hive. We have no back end at all. And, of course, all open source for transparency.
Ok thanks., I'll give it a try (hoping for a future release on play store
