## What is Photofra?

Photofra is a new kind of photo experience — not social media, not messaging.

Every day, pick 3 photos from your camera roll and trade them one-on-one with an anonymous stranger.

---- HOW IT WORKS ----

1. Pick 3 photos
Choose 3 photos you want to share today. Arrange them in order and add a mood tag. You can also link them to today's daily theme.

2. Submit your trade
Tap to trade. The system matches you one-on-one with another user who's also waiting. Neither of you can see the other's photos until you've both submitted.

3. Open the pack
When your match is ready, open the pack. Watch the envelope tear open, photos fly out one by one. Tap each blurred photo to reveal slowly — take your time.

4. Send a reaction
After seeing all 3, choose a single phrase to send back. Not a comment, not a rating — just a quiet moment of resonance.

---- WHAT MAKES PHOTOFRA DIFFERENT ----

• No profiles, no followers — you never know who you traded with
• Single-use photos — once a photo is traded, it's gone forever. Every choice counts.
• Once a day — quality over quantity
• Fair exchange — you can't open received photos until you've submitted your own
• Private by design — your email is never shown to your trade partner

---- YOUR COLLECTION ----

Every completed trade builds your collection — a private archive of the photos you've received and the moments you've shared. Browse by date, mood tag, or daily theme.

---- PRIVACY & SAFETY ----

• AI-powered content filtering removes inappropriate photos automatically
• Silent block: prevent future matches with someone without notifying them
• Location is optional — if shared, only your country is shown to the recipient, never exact coordinates

Photofra is free. No ads, no algorithm, no noise.
