Sixty is a video camera built around a single constraint. The constraint is the whole product. You'll discover it the first time you press record. It will feel inconvenient. That's the point. This app is not for capturing more. It's for capturing differently… in a way your future self can actually return to. If you've ever scrolled back through your camera roll looking for a moment and found only fragments of it, you already understand the problem Sixty exists to solve. THE CAMERA Rotate your phone to landscape to record. Let the moment unfold. Your phone becomes a window, not a mirror. There is no filter, no edit screen. The camera does one thing. THE ARCHIVE Your captures live quietly, organized by time and place. No likes. No comments. No grid optimized for thumbnails. A room in your phone that asks nothing of you and waits patiently for you to come back. COMMENTARY Speak over a memory while you watch it back. Who was there. What was happening. How it felt. Your voice becomes the way the memory is remembered and it's searchable later by feeling, not just by date. The recording itself is discarded. Only the meaning is kept. WHERE YOUR VIDEOS LIVE In your iCloud Photo Library. Not on our servers. We have never seen them and we never will. If you delete Sixty tomorrow, your captures remain. The archive is yours. WHAT'S NOT HERE No feed. No followers. No likes. No streaks. No advertising, ever. Sixty starts the day you install it. MADE BY ONE PERSON Sixty is built by a parent who got tired of losing the best parts of his children's childhood to seven-second clips. There is no growth team. There is no roadmap optimized for retention. There is one person, one constraint, and an archive worth keeping. Read more at projectsixty.co.
