Stories for everything that isn't worth a permanent post

Text on a colour, or one photo with a line of text. Gone after 24 hours.

Try it freeAll features

A story on Asyncbit is a short post that disappears on its own after 24 hours. It is either text on a coloured background or a single photo with optional text on top. That's the whole format: there is no video in stories, and no stack of stickers and effects to learn. Short videos belong in reels.

The point is lower stakes. A permanent post stays with your profile and gets read as part of your record. A story is for the thing that matters today and won't matter next week: the view from the bus window, a half-finished sketch, “the library is quiet, come read”. After 24 hours it clears itself, so there is nothing to tidy up later.

Be clear about the audience before you post. Stories are visible to every signed-in member of Asyncbit, not only your followers. The people who won't see yours are anyone on either side of a block with you and anyone who has muted you. If something is meant for a few friends only, a group chat is the better place for it.

How stories works on Asyncbit

  1. 1

    Write it or add a photo

    Type a few words on a coloured background, or pick one photo and add optional text over it. One photo per story keeps it quick to make and quick to read.

  2. 2

    It goes out to signed-in members

    Any signed-in member can view it for the next 24 hours, apart from people involved in a block with you and people who have muted you.

  3. 3

    People react or reply

    Each viewer can leave one emoji reaction. Replying to a story sends a direct message, and like every one-to-one chat on Asyncbit, that needs the two of you to follow each other.

  4. 4

    See who viewed it on Android

    The Android app shows the list of people who viewed your story, which is handy when you posted something like “anyone going to the match tonight?”.

  5. 5

    It expires by itself

    After 24 hours the story disappears automatically. You don't need to remember to delete it.

What makes it worth using

24 hours, then gone

Stories clear themselves after a day instead of joining your permanent posts.

Deliberately simple

Text, or one photo with text. Nothing to trim, arrange or edit.

Light feedback

One emoji per viewer keeps reactions low-key, and a reply moves into a private chat.

Worth a few points

Posting a story earns 3 points by default, counting toward your level.
