Knips

Knips is the app for sharing photo albums with family and friends—without worrying about pictures being forwarded, screenshotted, or downloaded.

WHY KNIPS?

Baby photos, wedding pictures, vacation moments—shared in messengers or photo clouds, they're everywhere. Once forwarded, they're gone forever. Knips changes that: What's in the album stays in the album.

THREE LAYERS OF PROTECTION

1. END-TO-END ENCRYPTION
Every photo is encrypted on your device before it reaches our servers. We only store unreadable data blobs. Even we, as the operators, can't open your photos.

— One separate key per album

— No master keys, no backdoors

2. SYSTEM-LEVEL SCREENSHOT PROTECTION

— Native lock blurs content during screenshots and screen recordings

— Optional strict mode: After the second screenshot, the member is automatically removed

— Album owner is notified of every attempt

3. NO DOWNLOAD
Photos cannot be saved, forwarded, or shared with other apps. They exist only within Knips—and only for members you have invited.
