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 — so it lands in one beautiful album 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. • A built-in editor for filters and adjustments that never touch your original. 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. CLUBS • A home for a group that keeps meeting: a team, a class, the friends you see every week. Group chat, events with RSVPs, announcements, and a board for every gathering. • Every club has its own mark and a memorable address, so similar clubs never blur together. • 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. • Looks let you set the club's theme, type and effects. 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. • 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. 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. Delete your account any time from Settings. Free on iPhone, for iOS 26 and later.
