Your day, taped to their home screen.
One photo a day for the one person who'd want it. It lands on their widget, theirs lands on yours. No feed, no strangers, and no server of ours in between.
Two iPhones. Ann's widget shows Sandro's photo of the day, and Sandro's shows Ann's.
How it works
A week on the roll
Ann and Sandro, one print a day each. Keep scrolling and the roll moves along.
It lands on their widget
No app to open. Their day is just there when they unlock, and it flips over at midnight.
Stick something on it
Reactions are stickers. Stick a sun on their beach, or a label on their face.

bring that face
Tape a note
Write on the print or tape a scrap of paper to it. It goes with the photo.

Privacy
Nobody in the middle. Not even us.
Your photos stay in your own iCloud. When you share with someone, Apple's iCloud lets their phone read them. That's the whole trip. Photo Tape doesn't run a server, so there's nothing of yours for us to keep, sell or lose.
- No Photo Tape account. Your iCloud is the account.
- No ads, no tracking, no analytics.
- You choose exactly who sees your days, and you can remove anyone.
The fine print, plainly: a few small things use Apple's public iCloud database. These are the sticker shelf, stickers that Pro members choose to publish, abuse reports, and follow requests (two anonymous IDs, a first name and an emoji). Your photos never go there; a sticker cut from one goes there only if you publish it.

Clubs
One wall for the whole group.
For the friends, the family chat, the book club. Start one with a name and an emoji, and it gets its own code. Anyone who scans it joins.
- Clubs share photos, not people. Joining never makes anyone follow you.
- You decide who stays. Remove someone, or block them and their prints go too.
- Each post goes where you pick: your person, a club, or both.
- Kept in the owner's iCloud. Free, as many as you like.
Photo Tape Pro
For prints that move and stickers that are yours.

Before you join
What do I need?
An iPhone on iOS 17 or later, signed in to iCloud. That's also all your person needs.
What's TestFlight?
Apple's app for trying apps before they're in the App Store. Install TestFlight, open our link, and tap Install. Updates arrive on their own.
Is it free?
Yes. Everything is free during the beta, Pro included.
Who can see my photos?
Only the people you share with and the clubs you post to. Not us, because there's no server of ours to see them on.
Does my person need the app too?
Yes. Send them this page. Once you're both in, share your days from the Friends sheet with a link or a follow request.
Android?
Not for now. Photo Tape is built on iCloud, so it's iPhone only.
Two links. One for you, one for your person.
- Tap the ticket and install Photo Tape from TestFlight.
- Take today's photo and add the widget to your home screen.
- Send the link to your person and share your days.
