Rave: An Introduction

The biggest social media trend of 2026 has surpassed viral culture, focusing instead on the question: “How do I stop doomscrolling?” Enter: Rave, a media recommendation app that wakes you up with something curated for you, every day.

Whether you’re looking for your next podcast recommendation, a way to undercut the recommended social media time, or are simply on the lookout for the next cool-girl media trend, Rave is here to help stop doomscrolling in its tracks. So good, you’ll want to Rave about it.

So, what is Rave?

Rave is a media recommendation app that makes discovering great content intentional and enjoyable. Every morning, a push notification starts your day by suggesting one piece of media curated for your interests. From books, podcasts, and films to TV shows, articles, and videos, we curate your daily media for you. If you love it, you can save it to your personal vault, ready for you to revisit at any time.

The most popular podcasts in Australia suggest different articles, videos, books, and other media every day, which are often forgotten as soon as the podcast ends. Rarely will the shameless podcast recommendations from hosts become ingrained in your mind long enough to find them when the urge to doomscroll hits. Rave ensures you have easy access to a variety of media types, creating a space you can return to at any time.

How does the Rave media recommendation app work?

At the start of each day, our personalised media recommendation will arrive, ready for you to digest. Our integrated links ensure you can quickly find your media recommendation on your preferred streaming services, websites, apps, and other platforms. No digging, and no fuss.

Each Rave is based around your interests and the things you love. Once you enjoy a piece of media, you can save it to your Vault to come back to at any time.

Can you share recommendations with friends on Rave?

Not only does Rave send you personalised media, but our social media app space also lets you see what your friends are obsessing over. Each time they love a podcast recommendation, read a popular article, or find a must-read book, you’ll be able to follow along as they become obsessed in real-time.

We’ve created the perfect solution to the doomscrolling habit that’s taking over the world. Using Rave as a social media app lets you connect with your friends without the algorithm getting in the way.

Why are people looking for media recommendation apps?

Doomscrolling and social media fatigue have been plaguing people for years, and one of the best ways to cure algorithm overload is to try new media types. The simple nature of Rave as a media recommendation app provides you with a curated media piece, helping you to start your morning in a meaningful, intentional way.

An overload of content on discovery pages makes it tricky to find curated media recommendations you genuinely love, but Rave makes it simple. One high-quality media recommendation, every day.

How is Rave different from social media?

Rave pulls you away from the algorithm that never produces exactly what you’re looking for. We don’t have an endless feed to get lost in, which creates an intentional space for discovery where you can find pieces you’ll adore. We’re all about producing high-quality media recommendations that inspire your curiosity, spark questions, and encourage you to leave doomscrolling in the past.

From book recommendations to suggested podcasts, movies and TV shows, and long-form and short-form articles, each of our curated media recommendations is based around things you love. Expand your media recommendations and discover something new every day.
