Lore

Thousands of photos on your phone. And no one ever sees them again.

That barbecue four years ago. The rainy road trip. That one picture where you're both laughing until you cry. These moments aren't gone—they're just buried. Lore unearths them: Every day, the app selects a photo from your gallery that's more than a year old. Everything happens directly on your device—your gallery isn't uploaded or analyzed in the cloud. And then you do what the moment was originally meant for: You send it to the person who was there.

"DO YOU REMEMBER?"—YOUR SHARED STORY

Connect via personal invitation links. Lore doesn't upload contacts or address books. Send a moment with a message—and it appears chronologically in your shared timeline, on both of your phones.

• Shared timeline for each friendship

• Heart reactions and synchronized anniversaries ("4 years ago today")

• Full-screen view with zoom, replies with a personal reminder
• Save received moments to your gallery

Delete moments from the timeline on both sides

Report received content, as well as block, manage, and unblock people

MOMENTS DIRECTLY ON YOUR HOMESCREEN

In Lore Free, a widget always displays the latest received moment from the people you assign. Lore Plus transforms this into a personalized picture frame: multiple widgets, rotation once or three times daily, Polaroid style, color schemes – optionally with the accompanying message displayed directly on the photo. New friends are never automatically added.

TIME CAPSULES – GOOSEBUMPS WITH A DELIVERY DATE

Submit a moment today that will only open on the anniversary. Or on their birthday. Until then, the other person won't know anything – on the chosen day, their phone will ring: "A time capsule from you is opening." (Lore Plus)

YOUR ARCHIVE – FOR THE PICTURES THAT SHOULD STAY

Our server is a mailbox, not a photo archive: Shared files are deleted after 30 days. But you keep that one picture that touches your heart long before then – permanently and locally on your device, plus as a rendered Polaroid with a message and date in the "Lore" album of your gallery. Lore Free includes five archive slots; with Plus, you keep an unlimited number.

LORE FREE AND LORE PLUS

All friendships and shared timelines are free. Lore Free includes unlimited compressed sharing, one photo exchange per day, a widget with the latest moment, five archive slots, as well as data copying, account deletion, reporting, blocking, and unblocking.


LORE Free Lore Plus adds up to five photo swaps per day, local memory trips (the same month in previous years, 2–5, 6–10, or more than 10 years back), higher image quality up to 2400 px instead of 1600 px, time capsules, an unlimited archive, personalized widgets, and a shared friendship review—which can be shared as an image called "Our Year in Moments."

NO PUBLIC FEED, NO STREAKS

Lore is intentionally designed with a quiet aesthetic. A daily reminder brings back a forgotten moment; push notifications inform you when someone shares a moment with you.

You can initially use Lore without an account. To share, invite, use shared timelines, and access widgets, you sign in with Google on Android.

Lore offers optional in-app purchases. Price, duration, and features are displayed in the app before purchase.
