HOW TO USE GLIMPSE: 1. Add the Glimpse widget to your home screen. 2. Share daily moments—a photo, a thought, or both—that land right on your friends' home screens (and theirs on yours!). 3. Jump into the Daily Photo Challenge. Capture today's to unlock your besties' takes. 4. React, comment, decorate. Make each glimpse yours together. KEY FEATURES ► Share What You Want Got something to say but no pic? Share the thought. Captured a moment but no words for it? The photo can stand alone. You're never stuck choosing, just share whatever feels right with your faves. ► Sticker Reactions That Stick Way more fun than regular old likes. Drop any emoji onto your friends' glimpses and let it live there forever. Move them around, pile them up, decorate the board together. It's playful, it's cute, it's yours. ► Daily Photo Challenge Every day, a new challenge drops for everyone. Capture it to see how your besties captured the same one. Same question, completely different points of view. ► Drop Comments Sometimes an emoji says it all. Sometimes you've got something to say or want to chime in. You can reply to glimpses with comments too, and edit or delete your own whenever you want. ► Weekly Recap Every Monday, your Weekly Recap drops with the highlights from your week. Tap to reveal your Top Glimpse, your #1 fan, your go-to reactions, and more. All the little moments you shared, in one sweet snapshot. ► A Shared History Your glimpses don't disappear into the void. Scroll back through a rolling gallery of your moments, a visual diary of all the small, silly, sweet things that make up a friendship. ► Your Widget Slideshow Your home screen becomes a rotating window to your favorite people. Glance down, feel connected, get on with your day. No scrolling required. ► Private & Cozy No followers. No strangers. No ads. No performance. Just your inner circle: the friends who feel like home, siblings, partners, the ones who get it. MADE FOR: - Busy seasons when you still want to stay close - Long-distance friendships that deserve more than the occasional catch-up - Moments too small to text, too sweet to miss - Anyone craving real connection without the whole social media song and dance - Closing the gap when "How are you?" starts to feel like a chore From the creators of PicCollage (trusted by 270M+ users), we built Glimpse because staying connected shouldn't feel like work. So we put your favorite people right where you'll actually see them, on your home screen. We hope you love it as much as we do :) Terms of service: http://cardinalblue.com/tos Privacy policy: https://cardinalblue.com/privacy If you have any questions or feedback, please reach out to us at glimpse@piccollage.com.
