## What is Stacks?

Messages + AI + NFC Utilities

Stacks is an NFC utility for creating messages you can share digitally or attach to something physical.

Create stacks with voice, photos, videos, GIFs, and text. Share them in the app, send them with a link or access code, share through Messages, or write them to an NFC tag for gifts, prints, cards, stickers, packages, keepsakes, and creative projects.

You can also create location-based messages, location-locked messages, and Time Capsules that reveal at the right place, the right time, or the right moment.
Whether you’re a family saving a memory, a creator sharing work, a maker adding meaning to something physical, or a friend sending something more thoughtful, Stacks helps you say more than a regular message can.

Features:
• Create messages with voice, photos, videos, GIFs, and text
• Share stacks through links, access codes, NFC tags, or in the app
• Attach digital stories to gifts, prints, cards, stickers, packages, and keepsakes
• Create location-based and location-locked messages
• Create Time Capsules for future moments
• Use optional AI-powered creative tools
• Upgrade to Stacks PRO for expanded storage and AI features
Stacks PRO is an optional monthly auto-renewing subscription that includes expanded media storage and access to AI features. AI credits are also available for select tools, including image editing and image-to-video generation.
