A private place for your family's photos.

Small, invite-only circles. No public feed, no strangers, nothing to follow. Every photo you share with a Circle is sealed on your phone first.

A family sharing a Sunday afternoon in a private circle, everyone replying with their own photo of the same day.

A Circle is just the people who were there.

You make a Circle (your family, the cousins, the book club) and invite the people who belong in it. Then you share the afternoon with them, and only them.

  • Post a photo to the people in the room, and no one else.
  • Reply with your own photo of the same day (“Add yours”) instead of a comments section.
  • Love a moment. That's it. No follower counts, no rankings.
  • Someone new wants in? Only a member can let them in.

Add yours, not a comments section.

A post isn't a place to perform. When something lands, you answer it the way families actually do, with a photo of your own from the same day. Everyone's view of the afternoon, in one quiet thread.

  • Every reply is a photo, from someone who was there.
  • No strangers, no discovery, nothing to go viral.
  • Report and block are in the … menu of every post someone else shares.
The YourCelf home feed: a family's private photos, shared only to the people in their circle.

Our relay can't open your photos. Here's how.

This isn't a promise on a page. It's how the app is built. Every photo you share with a Circle is sealed on your phone before it goes anywhere, and only the people in that Circle can open it.

Sealed before it leaves

Every photo you share is encrypted to the people in your Circle, on your phone, before it's sent. The one exception is a post someone reports: the report sends it to us unsealed, so a person here can act on it.

A relay that can't look

To reach a phone that's offline, sealed photos pass through our relay. It can see which phone keys sent sealed blocks to which, how large they were and when, never what's inside. Neither can we.

No account, your keys

Nothing to sign up for and no password to forget. Your phone holds the keys. Delete everything from Settings and it's gone.

Your camera roll becomes the story of your life.

YourCelf reads your photo library right on your phone, finding the people, places and days that recur, and gathers them into Story. No photo is uploaded to do it.

  • People, places, trips and years, drawn from your own photos.
  • Read on your phone. To name a place, it asks Apple Maps about a photo’s location, never the photo.
  • Turn on Sensitive Content Warning in iOS Settings and your phone gives each photo a private second look before it's sent, on device and only for you.
