WallUs

A private book you fill together. WallUs is a shared photo book for the people closest to you — a couple, a family, a few friends. You design the book, then tape your photos, videos, notes and voice memos onto its pages. No feed. No followers. No ads. One book, and only the people you invite. BIND YOUR OWN Choose the leather, the gold foil, the ribbon, the page edges. Name it, set the day you started, stamp a photo on the cover. FILL IT TOGETHER Drag a photo onto the page, tilt it, tape it down, write the caption by hand. Add a video, a voice note, a sticker. Everyone in the book sees it happen — you even see who is moving what, while they move it. IT KEEPS WHAT CAME BEFORE Scan the old prints in. A book is not only your last fortnight; it holds the people who came before you too. READ IT BACK Turn the pages. Browse by date. Open any moment to react to it or talk about it. Invite-only, by a short code. Leave whenever you like — your book comes with you. WALLUS PRO WallUs Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled at any time in Apple Account settings.
