About

Crumbs

Features
Read full description

Crumbs is a private weekly sharing app for close friends and small circles. Instead of trying to keep up through endless chats or perfect catch-ups, Crumbs helps you share the little moments that make up your week: photos, thoughts, wins, fails, random updates, songs, memories, and everything in between. Every Sunday, you can collect and share your weekly crumbs with the people you choose, so your closest friends can stay gently in the loop. Features: Private circles Create circles for your closest people — best friends, family, long-distance friends, or any small group you want to stay close to. Weekly crumbs Share small pieces of your week in one simple weekly dump. Photos, notes, and moments Add photos, thoughts, little updates, memories, or anything that captures your week. Comments and reactions Your people can react and comment, so staying close feels easy and natural. Choose who sees your week Share with one circle or multiple circles. You stay in control of who sees your crumbs. A friendship archive Look back on past weeks and remember the small moments that made up your life together. Crumbs is made for the friends you don’t want to drift away from — a tiny Sunday ritual, and gentle proof you still think of each other. A note from the maker I made Crumbs because I missed the real, everyday lives of my friends. Living in a different country from almost all of the people I’m closest to has made it harder to feel close in the everyday way. Not because we care less, but because we don’t naturally see the small parts of each other’s lives anymore like the random photos, the tiny complaints, the messy room, the coffee they got, the thing that made them laugh. Social media lets us see each other, but so much of it feels polished or made for everyone. I didn’t miss the perfect version of my friends’ lives. I missed the real one. So I made Crumbs as a small, gentle way to stay close without needing to be constantly online, without performing, and without turning friendship into another thing to keep up with. Just little pieces of your week, shared with the people who matter. I hope it helps you feel a little more part of each other’s lives. With love, Daryna
