Every post on Swell is up to 5 min of audio and can have links and photos.

Swell is powered by the human voice. Every post and share has a voice attached to it.
Our voices humanize us — conversations on Swell are genuine as you can hear the emotions, understand the intent, and feel more connected to the speaker.

Swell is designed for people to share information, firsthand accounts and perspectives in their own voice, citing credible journalistic references to prevent the spread of misinformation. Memes and mindless forwards have no place on Swell.

Your data and content belongs to you. Swell does not share your data with 3rd parties behind the scenes.
At Swell, you are in charge — you control who can take part in your conversations and you can moderate and remove any replies within your conversations.
No Kidding.
There are no ads on Swell.
Your audio posts stay in audio form and are not converted to text for data mining. Only the text description and tagging you provide are used for search and discovery.
There is no AI running wild determining what you should hear or see next — what you see in "For You" comes directly from categories you select, users and conversations you follow and manually curated Editor's Picks from our Editorial team.
Empathy… Really?
Speak
Voice conveys emotion and intent
that is lost in the written word.
Listen
Connect to someone's story
through the power of voice.
