Some memories belong to more than one person. A wedding has a couple, two families, and a dozen friends with cameras. A baby's first year is documented by parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and the friend who never misses a milestone. A family reunion is hundreds of moments scattered across everyone's phones. HummingBooked is a photo book everyone makes together. HOW IT WORKS One person starts the book. Everyone with a phone gets invited. Each person uploads the photos they took — the ones the other people couldn't have. The app helps pick the best ones, suggests crops, writes the story of each chapter from what you tell it, and arranges everything into a beautiful book that you approve before it's printed. Hardcover. Hand-inspected in our studio. Shipped to your door. BUILT WITH AI. BUILT WITHOUT SURVEILLANCE. We use AI to help pick photos, suggest crops, and write the story of each chapter. We don't use AI to identify your family. No facial recognition. Ever. Your photos aren't training data. We don't train AI models on what you upload, and we don't share your photos with anyone to train theirs. Your original photos are deleted 30 days after your order is completed. This is a choice we made on purpose. There are easier ways to build a photo book app. We picked the way that respects the people in your pictures. GOOD FOR - Family yearbooks (a year, captured by everyone in the family) - Wedding books (couple + two families + the friend who took the candids) - Baby's first year (parents + grandparents) - Family reunions, milestone birthdays, anniversaries - Trips taken with people you love WHAT YOU GET - 10×10" hardcover photo book, premium paper - 50 to 348 pages of your story - $195 for a book up to 120 pages, and never more than $395 however long it runs - Extra copies are half price when ordered together - $12 shipping, free on three or more copies - Two-tone navy and cream packaging - Hand-inspected in our studio before shipping A real book, made by everyone, about the people you love.

Surround yourself with breathtaking worlds. Panoramas Environments brings a curated collection of stunning wide-angle and 360° imagery to your Apple Vision Pro — and now your iPhone and iPad — ready to download and set as your own custom surroundings. Now with AI: describe a place and watch it come into being, restyle any panorama, and give it its own ambient soundtrack. Browse, preview, and save in seconds. Whether you want to stand on the lunar surface, step onto a cinematic sci-fi set, or escape into a sweeping natural vista, the perfect backdrop is just a tap away. CREATE WITH AI • Generate: Describe any place — a misty bamboo forest at sunrise, a neon-lit alley after rain — and get a full 360° environment built for your headset. Or start from one of your own photos and let it expand into a complete panorama. • Remix: Take any panorama in the app, or one you generated, and restyle it. Make it night, make it winter, make it cyberpunk. The scene stays, the mood changes. • Soundtracks: Give any panorama its own one-minute ambient track, composed to match the place. It loops while you look around, and keeps playing across the system while you use other apps. • Credits: AI features run on credit packs. One credit is one panorama, one remix or one soundtrack. Generations that fail are refunded automatically, and your credits follow you across every device via iCloud.
