YourCelf · Early Beta

Thank you for being one of the first.

YourCelf turns your camera roll into the story of your life, and it does it entirely on your phone. No account, no cloud, no feed. This is an early build, so it'll be rough in places. That's exactly what you're here to find.

Get it. Two steps.

On your iPhone, tap the button (or scan the code). It opens Apple's free TestFlight app (installing it first if you don't have it) and adds YourCelf.

Join the beta in TestFlight

Scan with your iPhone Camera to open this on your phone.

Then: open YourCelf, grant Photos, and let the first scan run: plug in and leave it open on a big library. That's the whole setup.

What to try, in order

Start: answer the age question, read the house rules and tap I agree, then grant Photos.
Story: look through Highlights, People, Places and Trips. Does each set feel like it belongs together?
Make a circle: Circles → New circle, then invite someone with the QR code or a message.
Post: Home → + → pick a photo → share it with your circle. On someone else's post, try Add yours.

The one thing we're really listening for: did it feel like your life, told honestly? And if anything looks made-up (a wrong name or place, a moment that feels invented), flag it loudly. We never want the app making things up.

Good to know

The first scan is slow on a big library; that's expected. Places, Trips, and People keep filling in afterward.
Photos stored only in iCloud may lag; some thumbnails take a moment.
Circle invites travel as a tappable link (Messages) or a QR code when you're together. Tap the link → the app opens → Join → the inviter approves. If a link opens Safari instead of the app, delete and reinstall the app once. That refreshes Apple's link cache.

Sending feedback

Two easy ways, both seconds long:

Screenshot the moment in the app, then tap Share Beta Feedback.
Or in the TestFlight app → YourCelf → Send Beta Feedback.

Your privacy

What you share with a circle is sealed on your phone before it leaves, and our relay can't open it. A few things do reach us, such as a post someone reports. The privacy policy lists every one.
