## What is Tether?

Capture the moments that matter — with the people who matter. 

Tether is a photo journal and a quiet social app in one. Share photos with the friends and family you actually know, and keep your private memories in a personal journal that's just for you.

Social without the noise:
  - No ads or promoted content. Ever.
  - No algorithm — your feed is simply chronological.
  - Mutual connections only. No one-way follows, no follower counts.
  - 150 connections max — room for the people who matter, and no more.
  - Post in the last 7 days to see your feed — no lurking.
  - We will never sell your data.

Your personal photo journal:
  - Save photos privately — memories you want to keep, not broadcast.
  - Choose for each photo: post it to your feed, or keep it just for you.                                                                                         
  - Browse it all in one place — Public, Private, or All.

How it works:
Sign in with your phone number. Find friends from your contacts. Post up to 10 photos, react with emoji, and leave comments — or save a photo privately to your journal. That's it.

Privacy first:
Your phone number is only used to sign you in and find people you know — it's never shown to other users. Your shared photos are visible only to your connections, and private journal photos are visible only to you. Optional Face ID / Touch ID lock.

Put down the doom scroll. Pick up Tether.
