Vine-Inspired Divine Video App Opens To Public In 2026
Vine was a popular app for making very short videos in the 2010s.
Now a new app called Divine is trying to bring back that style.
Divine lets people make six-second videos.
The videos repeat in a loop.
The app became available to everyone in 2026 after months of testing.
It is inspired by Vine but is not run by the original Vine company.
Jack Dorsey’s nonprofit, “and Other Stuff,” helped fund the project.
The app was created by Evan Henshaw-Plath, a former Twitter employee who uses the name Rabble.
Divine, a spiritual successor to Vine, is now publicly available after months of beta testing.
The app lets users create and share six-second videos that play on a loop.
Divine is inspired by Vine but is not affiliated with the original service.
The original Vine was owned by X, formerly known as Twitter.
Divine received funding from Jack Dorsey’s nonprofit, “and Other Stuff,” and was founded by former Twitter employee Evan Henshaw-Plath, known as Rabble.
