the idea
One video creates a Pulse.
People answer with Echoes.
Echoes become Scenes.
pulse
Two ways to watch.
Other apps give you a wall of clips. Pulse starts with a card — the creator, their city, the Scene, the sound, and a peek at what's next. Tap it and you're full screen. Minimise and you're back on the same video.

- ✓Nearby shows what was posted closest to you
- ✓Following is only who you chose, newest first
echo
Videos that talk back.
A repost is a dead end. An Echo is a video answer tied to the video it answers — a reaction, a remix, a dance response, a correction, a continuation. It stays in a visible chain, always credited to the original.
Swipe up for another video. Swipe sideways to walk the conversation. Branches happen when an Echo answers an Echo.

sagas
Stories that keep you up.
A Saga is a serialised drama, shot vertical, told in short episodes. Not a clip that ends — a story that continues.
Every Saga opens with free episodes. Producers may offer more or make the entire Saga free, then charge for later episodes or a pass.
How Sagas work
scenes
Find your Scene.
Communities around an interest, a place or a moment — with a feed, a chat, weekly prompts and challenges. Local Scenes surface your city; worldwide Scenes connect you to everyone who cares about the same thing.
nearby
Around you, not on top of you.
Nearby is a Pulse filter for what's happening in your city — the comedian three streets over, the dance crew at the stadium, the fashion kid from your quartier. Creators share a city or an area, never a pin. Tubaar never shows anyone where you are.
It's a filter, not a wall: For You keeps the world coming, and worldwide Scenes reach everyone who cares about the same thing.

around you.
their rules.
Tubaar was created by us, shaped by our realities and by the people who create and share here. We are building an African social product with a place for our languages, cities and cultures.
It starts African-first without being limited to Africa. Creators, music, humour, dance, fashion, languages and daily life from Kinshasa to Lagos shape its early identity, and the platform stays open to the world.
- 01Two ways to watch. Card browsing and immersive full screen — same place remembered when you switch.
- 02Echo chains. Videos answer videos, in a visible chain that always credits the original.
- 03Scenes with structure. Prompts, challenges, a chat and moderators — not just a hashtag.
- 04Nearby, not exact. Local culture and local creators without exposing anyone's location.
