## What is Shima · Shared Photo Album?

Shima is a private album for sharing photos and videos with your people: your family, your partner, your lifelong friends or that small group you share everything with. No feed, no followers, no ads.

Every photo stays on the day it happened. And every day can carry a note: what you wrote, or a voice note, so that in ten years you don't just see the photo, you remember what happened.

WHAT IT DOES
• Spaces: one for each group of people, whether it's your family, the two of you, your friends or this summer's trip. Up to ten people per space, invited with a link or from your contacts.
• The day with its note: each day's photos and videos, with what each person wrote.
• The calendar: tap the calendar and jump to any day.
• React with a tap or with your voice: an emoji, a comment or a voice note on any photo.
• Memories: "on this day" shows you what happened today one, two or five years ago. No endless scroll.
• Time capsule: a few words and a photo that nobody will see, not even you, until the day you choose.
• The vault: a hidden space for just two, with Face ID or a PIN. It can't be shared, exported or printed.
• Your photo book: pick the photos from a space and a style, see the whole book before you buy it, and keep it as a PDF.
• Your year and your month, retold in stories.
• Albums, search by date and by space, and export of all your photos whenever you want.

WHAT IT DOESN'T DO
• No advertising, ever.
• No facial recognition, no analysis of your photos.
• We don't sell or hand over your data.

YOUR PHOTOS, IN EUROPE
They are stored encrypted on servers in Western Europe. What you uploaded stays yours even if you stop paying.

PLANS
Free with 1 GB. Paid plans add room (from 50 GB to 1 TB) and the vault. They are subscriptions bought inside the app with your Apple Account, and they renew automatically every month or every year until you cancel, at least 24 hours before the period ends, from your Apple Account settings.
Each photo book PDF is a one-time purchase, also inside the app with your Apple Account. It is not a subscription.

Shima is available in English, Spanish, Czech and German.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-11-12

You can now download all your photos and videos as a ZIP from Profile > Export my photos. The vault no longer allows screenshots, and notifications are marked as seen when you open the app.

Uploading several photos at once is now more reliable: if one can’t be read, Shima tries again and tells you how many are missing. Photos appear in the space as they arrive, and HEIC photos take up less room. When you start, three simple steps take you to your first photos. Plus small fixes so everything feels calmer.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-11-05

Calmer, and more yours:
• Memories open like a memory: big photos and what each of you wrote.
• “What’s new”: when someone uploads a whole trip, you see it together.
• Your year, now with your own photos.
• Inviting is simpler, from one place.
• Offline, you still see what you last opened.
• Clearer settings, and text that adapts better.
• Lots of design touches and small fixes.

### 1.0 — 2026-11-03

No release notes.
