Opalo: Share Photos & Journal

For the parts of your life you'd never share publicly. Send a moment to your closest people, seen once, then gone. Keep the rest private in your profile only you can see.

Opalo is for the moments you normally wouldn't think worth sharing with everyone. Send to your closest people — they see it once, then it's gone. Keep the rest in your private profile and create journals.

We tend to broadcast the perfect parts of our lives, but the fun, imperfect, messy parts have nowhere to go — a rant about your awful boss, the way you messed up your hair by cutting it at home, the random thought that occurred to you while you have your face mask on. We either keep it to ourselves, send a text (boring), or it just sits in your camera roll, lost forever. Opalo gives each a home.

One tap, two directions, three choices: Send moments to a friends, keep them for yourself in your general moments, or add them to specific journals... Or do all 3, its up to you. No audience. No algorithm. No ads. Nowhere to perform.

SEND A MOMENT • Capture a photo or video and send it to multiple people or a small group. • They see it once, then it's gone — nothing to save, nothing on show. • Every send is a real conversation, not a broadcast to a crowd.

KEEP WHAT MATTERS • Save your own photos and videos to your moments and private journals only you can see. • Choose how you wish to view them: on a calendar, stacked by day or see all. • Your moments stay yours. Literally. Everything stays local on your phone/iCloud.

SHARE A JOURNAL • Build a shared journal with the people you choose. • Everyone adds to the same place — one trip, recipes you loved making, cool dogs you saw on your walks. Be creative!

TALK, DON'T PERFORM • Simple 1:1 and small-group chat with voice notes and reactions. • Warm streaks that celebrate a real back-and-forth — never guilt you into showing up.

TWO WAYS TO USE IT • Social mode: camera, chat, and sending to your people while still keeping your private moments. • Journal mode: just you, your camera, and your private moments and journals — quiet by design.

ALWAYS ONE TAP AWAY • Add an Opalo camera button to your Lock Screen or Control Centre. • Share links, photos and videos straight into Opalo from Photos or any other app.

WHO IT'S FOR For the two (or five) people you actually talk to. For anyone who stopped sharing because the audience got too big. For keeping the parts of your life that were never meant for a crowd.

Opalo is free. iPhone only. Real people, real moments.
