## What is Locket Photos?

Locket is a special place on your home screen, to cherish memories of your loved ones. 

A place close-at-hand, to remember your time together. Photos on a map, photos taken on today’s date, a video you haven’t seen in a while.

Select an important album, and Locket becomes a space to explore it without the clutter of your full photo library.

 - Pick a photo album, and Locket will help you explore it easily and often.
 - View your photos on a timeline.
 - Filter your album to quickly find that one video you haven’t seen in a while.
 - Shuffle your Locket to rediscover forgotten memories.
 - Explore your album’s photos on a map - with clustering for easy navigation.
 - See the items from your album that were created on this day in previous years.
 - Jump to any birthday, holiday, or milestone and revisit a particular day-in-history.

If you purchase Locket Plus, you’ll also be able to use a Shared Album (from your Photos app) as your Locket, and select from more than a dozen alternate app icons.

Keep your most important memories close.

### 5/5 — I treasure this app so much! It’s having a hard time with the new IOS

*2024-11-29*

To the locket team — you have helped me connect with so many memories of my son who died far too soon, thank you so much.  I’m feeling angry at Apple because the new IOS update means your app isn’t working anymore — I can’t navigate by day or location. Do you think you could update it? With love and hopes for a help from a fellow bereaved parent 💗

### 5/5 — Thank you 💕

*2023-05-15*

So grateful for this app - it is helping keep my son present every day 💕

### 1/5 — Pointless!!

*2020-12-17*

It’s just photos!! The app is already installed as basic on all phones!! Dumbest app ever!!!!

**Developer response:** In some ways it is similar, if you haven’t selected an album. (The intent of the app is to make a space on your Home Screen for a particular album, though the On This Day tab and Shuffle features are often helpful even without that.) 

I made this app because I lost someone close to me, and wanted to keep an album on my Home Screen, and to get reminders of our time together whenever I have a photo on-this-day-in-history. That isn’t something that the default Photos app provides.

### 5/5 — Locket is the perfect app to keep dear ones close to my heart

*2020-12-13*

I absolutely love everything about this app. I have many many moments stored on my phone, and often find myself going to Lockets shuffle feature, and smiling at pictures and videos that I haven’t seen in years.

**Developer response:** I’m so glad to hear you are enjoying it - I find the same things are true for me, especially in the shuffle and filter-to-show-videos bits. Thank you so much for the message! ♥️

### 5/5 — Locket is continually useful

*2019-10-18*

I love locket for giving a decent way of searching my photos that I just can’t get with the default photos app. Well worth an install and I’ve just gone pro too as it’s something use often enough. Awesome work from the dev!

**Developer response:** Thanks very much! Glad you’re enjoying the app! ♥️

### 5/5 — For people seeking memories

*2019-04-18*

I’m delighted by Locket. Every day since I downloaded this app it has helped me find moments that I had forgotten. I didn’t know I had forgotten them, but I had, and now they have been returned to me like a gift. I can favorite them and add them to albums. Best of all I’ve been filled with wonderful memories and joy. What a thoughtful, tasteful app. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the lovely review - I’m grateful you are finding it helpful. ♥️

### 5/5 — Thanks A Lot

*2019-04-11*

I’m crying at my desk now. Good job.

### 5/5 — Perfect App to Revisit Family Photo Memories

*2018-12-25*

I love this app! It’s easy to use, makes it fun to return to all the photos of loved ones, past and present. Highly recommended if you’ve ever had a hard time scroll endlessly on your camera roll to find a special memory.

### 5/5 — So grateful for this app

*2018-12-22*

This is such a thoughtfully made app for cherishing old photos that I otherwise would never stumble upon. As someone who also lost someone special, this is the primary way I connect with old memories, keeping them fresh and at my fingertips. Thank you for this invaluable gift!

### 5/5 — This is what I needed to organize my photos!! Pretty amazing!!

*2018-12-22*

Great app!! Thank you!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.1 — 2020-06-29

Hey there! This update has a handful of small bug fixes. Cheers!

### 1.5 — 2019-10-14

Updated for iOS 13
A whole bunch of tweaks and fixes to make Locket work perfectly on your shiny, upgraded device.

System Dark Mode
If you’re on iOS 13, Locket’s Dark Mode stays in sync with your device’s settings, and no longer requires Locket Plus.

Native Dark Mode Maps
Now that iOS has dark-mode maps, Locket doesn’t need Mapbox for dark-mode support. (iOS 13 users only.)

Read-Only Mode
Hides the delete-photo button, so little ones’ roving fingers don’t accidentally delete a favorite memory.(Enable this in Locket’s Advanced Settings.)

### 1.4.1 — 2019-08-13

Fixes an issue where audio-playback was interrupted on app-launch.

### 1.4 — 2019-08-07

This update adds some nice little touches to Locket.

First up, there are five new "portrait" app icons (by Jason Stoff) — so if you use Locket to keep photos of a loved one, you've got some new options. (And if you'd like to see something else, please let me know!) This is a Locket Plus feature.

Other little details:
 - You can now post a photo to your Instagram Story. Tap the share-button on the photo-detail screen.
 - When you're viewing a photo, sometimes you realize "oh, there were other photos from that day, and I want to see them!". Just tap the info-button on the photo-detail screen, and you can view the image in your full camera-roll timeline.
 - There are a bunch of Siri Shortcuts available, so you can open Locket to photos-taken-nearby with a single voice command, and other things! Visit the in-app settings to set these up.
 - You can now delete an image from Locket. Sometimes, when you're shuffling through Locket, you might find some images that you'd rather delete, and it's now a quick tap to do it.

Of course, there's a bunch of other little bug-fixes in here — but if you have a feature you'd like to see included in a future version, please let me know!

### 1.3.1 — 2019-04-11

Fixes an issue in the app-icon switcher.
