Features

Everything that ships in the current build.

The social layer comes first, then the things you track and share. This describes what is connected and working, not a roadmap, and it says so wherever something is deliberately left out.

Feed, posts and stories

Social features with audience control on every story, enforced by the server rather than the client.

Home feed with like, comment, save and share
Create posts with photo or video from camera or library
Post discussion with owner deletion
Stories to public, friends, close friends or a custom list
Story viewing, reactions and replies
Highlights: archive, group, edit and delete
Saved posts, and your own post history, both paginated
Report content, with explicit feedback on duplicate reports

Gym communities

The organising idea of the app. A gym is a place with a feed, members and a conversation.

Discover nearby gyms, or search by name
Join and leave communities
Community overview, details and member list
Community feed with posts and threaded discussion
Invite people, and share a community
Member search with follow, message and profile access
Gym search and geocoding are proxied by Vybe’s backend, so no mapping key ships inside the app

Profiles and people

Follow state is decided by the server, so two devices can never disagree about it.

Public profiles with posts and shared meal plans
Follow and unfollow, with per-user pending state
Followers and following lists
Edit your own profile, including photo
Coach and trainer search with filters
Register as a trainer during onboarding
Find friends from contacts, hashed on device before anything is sent

Messaging

Direct and group conversations over an authenticated realtime connection.

Chat list with unread state and realtime room updates
Direct and group messages
Text and media messages
Typing indicators, read state and message deletion
Jump from a conversation to a profile

Challenges and achievements

Progress derived server-side from activity you actually own, so it cannot be spoofed by a client.

Achievements by category, with rewards you claim
Claims are atomic, so a reward cannot be taken twice
Challenges: browse, search, create, join, leave and manage
Manual or step-tracked progress, with leaderboards
Step-tracked challenges count only your own entries inside the challenge window

Going live

Relay-only broadcasting, so hosts and viewers never exchange direct network addresses.

Browse live and scheduled broadcasts by category
Public, followers-only and invite-only access modes
Go live from the camera and microphone
Watch with presence, chat, likes and reactions
Host moderation, and reconnect handling
Broadcasts end automatically at a two-hour cap
Audio and video are not recorded or retained

Training

Workouts as shareable objects, with the discussion attached to the session itself.

Create workouts and multi-week plans
Full exercise lists on every workout
Workout logs and history
Like, comment, share and delete your own
Separate discussion threads for workouts and for plans
Log an exercise session with today’s totals

Nutrition

Prep once, eat all week. Log in seconds, plan by the week, and pass the plan to anyone with a link.

Log meals, with a daily summary
Food search across recent and custom foods, plus favourites
Create custom foods, and calculate by serving
Meal templates you can log again in one step
Weekly meal plans: create, edit, activate and copy
Private share links, hashed at rest and revocable
Community Meals: browse, like and comment on meals other people chose to publish
Photo-assisted logging: candidates come from trusted food and history data, and you confirm nutrition before it is logged
Meal history with today and week summaries

Health and progress

Manual entry, described accurately. No wearable or health-platform sync is configured in this release.

Hydration: view today, add, undo the last entry, and mixed units normalised for you
Daily entry for steps and optional weight, correctable across the last seven days
Health goals, calculated and adjustable
Health insights by week, month or year, with activity, nutrition and step trends
A weekly score based on logging consistency, labelled as such
Progress photos: capture, list, compare side by side, view full screen and delete

Account and notifications

Sessions survive a flaky network. Only a genuine authorisation failure signs you out.

Sign in with an email one-time code, or with a password
Password accounts are created only after the email code proves the address
Tokens held in the platform keychain, not general storage
Notification list with read and delete, plus per-type preferences
Notifications route to the right post, message, workout or profile from cold start
Change password, and manage account privacy
Permanent account deletion from Settings

Deliberately absent

What Vybe does not do.

A feature list is only useful if it also says what is missing. These are not hidden gaps, they are choices, and none of them are presented in the app as a control that quietly does nothing.

No Google or Apple sign-in: Third-party identity is not part of this release, so no inactive social-login buttons are shown. Email code or password are the only paths.
No wearable or health-platform sync: Apple Health, HealthKit, Health Connect and Garmin are not connected. Steps and weight are entered manually, and the app says so wherever it shows them.
No universal links yet: Deep links use Vybe’s own scheme. Universal links stay switched off until the HTTPS association files are hosted under a controlled domain.

Availability

In closed testing on iOS.

Vybe is not on the App Store yet. Access during testing is by invitation. Free during closed testing.
