What is ShowMeme?

ShowMeme is an early-stage AI app for photo effects and synthetic funny voices. Today it runs in the browser: you can browse example effects and listen to voice samples, but the photo studio and custom voice generation are marked coming soon. Photo-to-video and the Android and iPhone versions are also planned, with App Store and Google Play listed as soon. Do not treat the examples as tools you can already use to transform your own content.

What works today, and what does not

The app, currently available in the browser, lets you browse photo-effect examples and listen to voice samples. The photo page currently says “Effects are coming soon” and offers a launch-notification form. The voices page similarly says “Coming soon” and explains that samples already work while final safety checks are being completed. Custom photo editing and custom speech generation should therefore not be treated as available features.

Some homepage and FAQ copy on showmeme.app describes using photo effects and voices today. The studio pages give the more restrictive availability notice, which is the basis for this profile. AppFor.ai has not generated a photo or audio result with ShowMeme.

The planned photo workflow

ShowMeme describes a preset-based workflow: choose a photo, pick an effect and, once the studio launches, build further effects on the previous result. Examples cover hair, age, tattoos, outfits and comic looks. According to its AI Notice, users will not enter arbitrary prompts; ShowMeme supplies the effect instructions, with limited choices about how the person is drawn.

The AI Notice identifies FLUX.2 klein 4B by Black Forest Labs, served through deAPI, as the image-editing model. It warns that edits can alter facial features, skin tone, body shape or backgrounds unexpectedly. This is the operator’s description of its intended implementation, not an independently tested result.

Voice samples now, custom speech later

The voice page presents eight presets: Shomi, Narrator, Pirate, Robot, Grandparent, Commentator, Whisper and Alien, with woman and man choices and example audio. Its planned studio accepts up to 300 typed characters or a recording of up to 20 seconds, converts recordings to editable text, and produces an MP3 in a chosen synthetic voice. Custom generation remains marked coming soon.

The AI Notice lists Qwen3-TTS 1.7B Base for English, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Japanese and Korean; Chatterbox for Polish, Turkish, Arabic and Hindi; and Whisper Large V3 for transcription. Indonesian, Vietnamese and Thai have samples only. Helium, Giant and Radio filters, and the fixed robot and alien sound treatments, are described as conventional audio effects, not AI. The service says it does not clone the voice on an uploaded recording.

Platforms, launch plans and cost

The app currently runs in the browser; there is no downloadable mobile version yet. The site lists Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge as browser requirements for its planned studio, with JavaScript, cookies and browser storage enabled. App Store and Google Play badges are labelled soon, with no store links, so native apps are not yet available.

The video page describes planned five-second photo-to-video clips in the app, Android first and then iPhone, without a launch date. It says video prices will be shown in the app before creation. The homepage also mentions future premium effects for credits. Neither constitutes a currently purchasable plan: the terms explicitly say web payments, credits and a Pro plan have not launched.

The terms describe daily limits shared by photo effects and voices but do not state the allowance numerically. They also describe planned advertising around free generation. These are launch plans, not a promise of unlimited free output or a current paid offering.

Operator, data handling and output conditions

The terms identify the operator as PIOTR WÓJCIK STRATEGY LAB, registered in Poland’s CEIDG business register. The privacy policy describes sending photos, voice text and recordings to external AI processors rather than performing everything on the device. It names deAPI for image and speech processing and OpenRouter with DeepInfra for moderation. Reading these disclosures did not involve AppFor.ai using those paid APIs.

According to the published policy, original photos remain on the server only while processing, while generated image and MP3 results would be stored for 48 hours with shareable links and a Delete now option. These are policy statements about the studio, not a completed privacy audit. Anyone with a result link would be able to access it during its lifetime.

The AI Notice specifies visible picture watermarks and AI labels and metadata for output. The terms prohibit removing these marks or presenting output as a real photograph or recording. They allow lawful commercial use subject to other people’s rights, without promising copyright protection or unique results. Only use photos and voices you have permission to use.

How to evaluate it at this stage

For now, compare the voice samples and browse the effect examples to decide whether the style fits your use case. Wait for the studio pages to announce availability before planning a workflow around custom output. When generation launches, check the actual daily allowance, output marks, export options and data-processing terms again; previews alone do not establish how your own photo or text will perform.
