Passboards is where your people keep their moments together. Start a board for the trip, the wedding, the season, the Tuesday that turned into something, and add the people who were there. Everyone posts to the same place: photos, videos, the songs that played, and the words worth keeping. It all lands on one beautiful board instead of six camera rolls and a group chat that scrolled past it weeks ago. BOARDS • Public, or private to the people you add. • Up to 100 members per board. You choose who can post, who can invite, and who helps run it. • Up to 15 photos and videos in a single post, with a title, a caption, a place and tagged friends. • Every photo shown in its own shape, on a page that takes on the colours of the board's cover. • Ten Passboards looks, plus Auto, and adjustments in a built-in editor that never touch your original. • Arrange a board's posts by dragging them, and position the cover photo. • Uploads keep going in the background, and pick up again on their own if the connection drops. GUESTS • Share a guest link or QR code for an event or a board with dates. Guests add photos from their browser, without the app, and you approve them before they show. • Choose when a board's photos show: as they're posted, or all at once at a time you pick. CLUBS • A home for a group that keeps meeting: a team, a class, the friends you see every week. Group chat, events, announcements, and a board for every gathering. • Club chat with up to 10 photos in a message, replies, polls, and Find a time to settle on a date. • Events with limited spots and a waitlist, RSVP approval, plus-ones, a cohost, a message to everyone going, and reminders a week and 2 hours before. • Repeating events every week, every 2 weeks or every month, and Subscribe to Calendar to keep a club's events in your calendar app. • A weekly club roll, a shared goal, and club recaps of what you did together. • Every club has its own mark, address and QR code. Hand your club to another member when it's time. • Share your posts with a club, and its members see them in their feed and the club's Tagged section. • Public or invite-only, up to 100 members, with an invite link the host controls. MUSIC • Share a song, album or playlist from Spotify or Apple Music, and play a 30-second preview right in the feed. • Open anything in your music app with one tap, or share to Passboards straight from Spotify or Apple Music. WRITE • Post a quick note or a long-form essay, with headings, quotes, lists and links. • Drafts save as you go, and essays open in a full-screen reader made for reading. PEOPLE • Follow friends, or keep your profile private and approve requests. • A home feed of what your people are up to, and Explore for finding more. Both show the latest when you come back. • Find friends already here from your contacts. Matching uses hashes made on your phone; the numbers and addresses themselves never leave it. • Like, comment, save, mention, and message. • Share a post or a board to your Instagram Story as a Passboards card. MESSAGES • One-to-one conversations and club chats, with reactions and read receipts you can turn off. Send any post, board or profile straight into a chat. PHOTOS AND VIDEO THAT LOOK RIGHT • Tap any photo or video to open it full screen and swipe through the whole collection. • Photos are kept sharp at full-screen size; video plays at 720p, up to three minutes a clip. • Location and device details are stripped from every file you upload. Where a photo was taken is never shown unless you add a place yourself. • A Highlights widget brings your favourite moments to your Home Screen. YOUR ACCOUNT • Sign up with an email. No ads today. Delete your account any time from Settings. Passboards is for adults (18+). Free on iPhone, for iOS 26 and later.

HeyHey is the chillest way to call your people more. Phone calls shouldn’t feel awkward, intrusive, or like something you have to schedule days in advance. HeyHey brings back easy, low-pressure conversations by letting you share one simple signal with the people you care about: I’m free to talk. How it works When you have a few free minutes—on a walk, between meetings, or driving home—you send a HeyHey to a small group you choose. Your people see that you’re available and can decide whether to call you or respond with a wave. Why HeyHey exists Modern communication made everything faster—but also more stressful. Calls feel like commitments. Missed calls feel rude. Text threads never end. HeyHey removes the friction: • No “Is now a good time?” messages • No guilt for missing a call • No obligation to talk longer than you want You share availability. They choose whether to connect. Designed for real life • Share when you're free, not when you're busy • Choose how long you're available • Add optional context like “commuting” or “running errands” • Stay present instead of scrolling Privacy-first, by design HeyHey doesn’t sell your data. There are no ads, no algorithms, and no feeds. Your availability is shared only with the people you select and only for the time window you choose. Who it’s for • Friends who want to stay close without planning • Parents balancing full schedules • Long-distance relationships • Anyone who misses easy phone calls HeyHey isn’t about being always available. It’s about being available on your terms. Talk to your people.
