the service

BlipBlab is a voice-messaging app whose messages disappear. we're at hey@blipblab.com. a voice (a blip) is gone after it's heard or when it expires; that's the product, not a bug. when a blip goes, its own encryption key goes with it, so a blip that's gone can't be brought back, by us included. don't rely on BlipBlab to preserve anything.

who can use it

BlipBlab is for people 13 and up. if you're under the age where your local law requires a parent's consent for services like this, you need that consent.

your account

you create an account with your phone number. when you tap "text me the code" in the app, you're asking us to text you a sign-in code: one text per request, never marketing. message and data rates may apply; reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out (a code only arrives when you ask for one). your number is kept as a one-way hash, never shown to other users, and used only to know it's you, to find a seat saved for you, and to keep a banned number out. you're responsible for what you record and send, and for keeping your device secure.

acceptable use

be a decent human. no harassment, no threats, no sexual content involving minors, no illegal content, no impersonation, no attempts to break or abuse the service or probe other people's privacy. whoever receives a voice can report it, and anyone can report a voice hello. a reported voice is kept sealed for up to 30 days so we can hear what was reported; then it's gone (the privacy policy says how). we review reports and can restrict or end accounts that abuse others, quietly and without notice where safety requires it.

the beta

BlipBlab is in invite beta. features may change, break, or vanish, and beta data may be reset — we'd tell you first, by voice. the service is provided as-is and as-available, without warranties of any kind, and we're not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages to the extent the law allows.

ending it

you can stop using BlipBlab any time. delete your account from the app's settings (from build 111 on), or write to us at support@blipblab.com and we'll do it; it's gone after 30 days — sign in before then to keep it. we can suspend or end accounts that break these terms.

changes

we may update these terms; using BlipBlab after an update is accepting it. we'd tell you about a material change first, by voice.
