I built TiiHub: a niche iOS-native social network with Reddit's mechanics. Launching today, free.

Hi. I've been building TiiHub for 2+ years. It launches today on the App Store. Walkthrough video attached.
I'm walking the Apollo path: build natively on one platform, polish it deeply, then expand. So I built a niche social network for spatial media (spatial photos and videos, 360° content, LiDAR object scans, doodles, plus regular photo/video) with Reddit's social mechanics underneath. Not trying to replace Reddit broadly; doing one corner well at the bar Apollo earned its reputation on.

What I kept from Reddit:

  • Hubs (subreddits) with full mod tools and audit logs
  • Leaf karma, separate post/comment tallies, atomic against brigades
  • Threaded comments, mod pinning, locked threads
  • Sorts: Hot, Top, New, Controversial (with time windows)
  • Feeds: Home, Popular, Latest, per-hub
  • Mentions, bookmarks, blocking, content appeals

What I did differently:

  • Hub-optional posts: Post to your profile (Facebook/Instagram-style), not just to a Hub.
  • Two social graphs: Unilateral follows (Twitter) + mutual friends (Facebook), with a friends-only feed filter.
  • First-class spatial media: 360°, spatial photo/video, LiDAR scans, floor plans, USDZ 3D models. Doodles (Vision OS only for the moment)
  • In-app capture: iPhone LiDAR scanning, Room Capture, on-device photogrammetry, all built in.
  • AI-assisted moderation (experimental): Hub-level auto-flagging plus AI reviewing moderator activity itself for abuse.

Centralized, closed source, iOS + visionOS only.

I'll gladly answer any questions and love hearing feedback. Curious whether non-spatial communities forming on TiiHub (writers, music, coding) is something you'd want, or if the niche framing feels too narrow regardless.

TiiHub is live! A dedicated home for your spatial media and 3D scans for Vision Pro

Hey r/AppleVisionPro!

Solo dev here. After 2+ years building, TiiHub officially launches on the App Store today. Free to download.

Walkthrough demo: YOUTUBE LINK

The reason I built it: every spatial media type Vision Pro made possible (spatial photos, spatial video, 360° panoramas, LiDAR room scans, photogrammetry object scans, USDZ models, doodles) currently lives scattered across the wrong apps. Your Photos app flattens spatial photos to thumbnails when you share them. Posting 360° video on Instagram nukes the immersion. There wasn't a single home where these stay in their native immersive form with social context attached. So I made one. 13 media types, all viewable the way they were meant to be seen.

The feature I'm most hyped to share with this community is Persistent Room Layouts. Take any post from your feed (a spatial photo, a scanned vinyl, anything), place it in your physical room with hand tracking and physics, and save the arrangement as a profile. Star Wars-themed office one tap, mid-century lounge the next. Like swapping desktop wallpapers but for your entire room. Watching beta testers anchor an iPhone-scanned vinyl record next to their actual record player is one of the coolest things I've seen in months.

Social side is intentionally Reddit-shaped: upvotes, downvotes, threaded comments, communities (we call them Hubs), friends-only filter when you want it. No crypto, no black-box algorithm.

inSpaze and ImmersiShare deserve real credit for paving this road. TiiHub takes a different angle: persistent room arrangement plus threaded discussion attached to every piece of spatial media.

App is free. Pro and Creator subscriptions unlock higher upload limits, room tracking, and storage.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6661022414?pt=126898792&ct=Reddit_Traffic_May13&mt=8

I'll be in the comments all day. The question I'd love honest answers to: what would make TiiHub a weekly-open app for you, not a one-time install? That's what I want to nail in the first post-launch update.

2 years of solo dev, my MR sandbox TiiHub just got approved! Drops May 13th.

Hey everyone. After two years of building, TiiHub has officially been approved by Apple!

Here is a quick 30 seconds teaser while I finish editing the full walkthrough video. TiiHub is a 100% native spatial network for iOS and visionOS. It lets you share, collect, and play with spatial media and 3D scanned models right in your physical room.

The app is completely free to use. If you want to check it out on launch day, you can pre-order here: Link

P.S. To the TestFlight crew: Thank you all for the feedback! Your rewards have already been deposited. Just log in with your TestFlight account on the official release to claim them.
