About The Project 

​Sway is a mobile app for sharing your favorite daily song and discovering music through your social circle. Inspired by BeReal’s “post to unlock” model, users can only access their feed after posting a song, encouraging contribution and community. Designed by and for college students, Sway tackles algorithm fatigue with a frictionless, human-centered music experience. The app is currently available on iOS and integrates directly with Spotify and Apple Music. We’re tackling four core problems: A. Algorithm fatigue – Recommendations feel soulless and repetitive; users don’t feel seen. B. Expression gap – Music is part of our identity, but there’s no simple way to share it with friends. C. Social music void – Streaming platforms are great for listening, terrible for social connection. D. Taste-based connection – There’s no platform to form bonds with people through shared music taste.
