Live it

Amazing. I Lived It. I Was There.
Amazing
For the anecdotes that floor you. The one that says: retell this.
I Lived It
When the anecdote is also yours. Same moment, your angle.
I Was There
The signature reaction. The one that completes a Fabella.
The moments worth confirming
The night you can't fully explain.
Road trips. Concert pits. Stadium last-minutes. The 4 a.m. stories no one believes.
Vegas, 2024.
The elevator stranger.
Coachella, weekend two.
We never made it to the headliner.
World Cup final.
Section 124. We saw it.
Spring break, the boat.
Don't ask.
Halloween 2022.
The 7 of us, one cab.
That night

FAQ
Questions, answered straight.
What is Fabella?
Fabella is the social app where stories about you need you to confirm them — before they go public. You send an anecdote to the people who lived it, and it enters the feed only once they say it's true. Fact, not fable.
How does story confirmation work?
Tell your anecdote and tag the people who were there — up to 5 witnesses. Each of them receives it privately and swipes True or Not. The story goes live only when everyone tagged swipes True. Until then, it stays between you and them.
What happens if someone swipes Not?
One Not is enough. The anecdote is declined for everyone and never reaches a feed — even if other witnesses had already confirmed. Nothing about you goes public without your yes.
Do witnesses need a Fabella account to confirm?
Not always. If you're already on Fabella, you confirm or decline right in the app. If you were tagged as a witness but aren't a member, you can answer from a secure link — no download, no account — and that link stays valid for 7 days.
Can a published story be removed?
The author can delete their post at any time. A single witness who confirmed a story can remove it directly; on a story with several witnesses, it comes down once every witness agrees. No one controls a shared memory alone.
Are there likes or an algorithm?
No likes. Fabella has three reactions — Amazing, I Lived It, and I Was There — plus comments. Your home feed is the people you follow, with a Trending row of the stories that moved the community this week.
Is Fabella free?
Yes. Fabella is free on iOS, starting with the US App Store. No purchase is required to post, confirm, or boost an anecdote.
Not every story is true.
Yours can be.
iOS only. US App Store. Free to download.
