Chooning, a music diary app, released Ver.4 with a complete redesign based on five years of user data. The app shifts from a social network to a personal record-keeping tool, adding a web browser version and plans for a membership system. It now supports Chinese and Korean, targeting Taiwan and South Korea.
The Chooning app, launched in 2020, has accumulated 10,000 registered users and 220,000 posts as of June 2026. The Ver.4 update reorients the service around personal archiving rather than social interaction. A web browser version now allows desktop use. The company, Chuning, plans a paid membership tier for features like photo attachments and longer posts, expected in July or August 2026. Localization for Chinese and Korean aims to grow the user base in Taiwan and South Korea, where usage has increased.
