wavilu
Video messages, made for signing.
Sign a message and it starts sending as you go. They can watch while you are still signing, or later, slowed down if they like, and reply with one tap.

How it works
Like leaving a voicemail, but in your own language, with your hands and face in the frame.
-
Record
Tap once and sign. Your video sends while you record, so there is no waiting.
-
Watch live or later
They can join while you are still signing, or catch up when they have time. New videos play oldest first.
-
Reply
One tap goes back to the camera. Conversations flow at everyone's own pace.
Built around signing
Most video apps are made for talking. Wavilu is made for the people who sign, and the people they love.
Your signing, as you meant it
The video is never mirrored, and the controls stay at the edges, away from hands and face.
Slow it down
Watch at half speed up to double, and Wavilu remembers the speed you like.
Captions when someone speaks
When a hearing relative talks instead of signing, their words appear as captions, in English or Arabic.
Family groups
Keep the whole family in one conversation, and see who has watched.
Private by default
Videos disappear once they have been watched, unless someone keeps them. Reporting and blocking are built in.
English and Arabic
The whole app works in both languages, right to left where it should be.
