Frame - Photo & Word Diary

A photo, a word, the place it happened. Share trip albums with family and friends — everyone adds their frames to the same album, on their own device.

Frame is a tiny diary app for your everyday moments. Each entry is just three things: one photo, a short note, and the place it was taken.

It's not for sharing on social. It's not for showing off. It's a gentle place to leave a frame of your day, for the future you — and a way to remember a trip together with the people you took it with.

WHAT GOES IN A FRAME • One photo — picked from your library, nothing more • A short note — eight characters or eighty, whatever feels right • A place — auto-detected from your photo's location data, easily editable

TWO WAYS TO LOOK BACK • Timeline — your entries in date order, easy to scroll • Map — pins showing where each moment happened, your year on a map

SHARED TRIP ALBUMS (new in v2.0) For trips, anniversaries or any shared occasion, create an album and invite family or friends. Everyone adds their own frames from their own device, and the album becomes a collaborative travel diary. • Create an album with a date range • Send a share link via Messages, Mail or AirDrop • Each participant adds their own frames • Read-only or read-write permissions

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • One or two taps to capture a moment, no extra friction • Location is read from your photo, so no GPS permission prompts • You can edit your note, time, place, even photo orientation anytime — your record on your terms • Built with Apple's own PhotosPicker and MapKit, so it feels native

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Personal frames sync across your devices through your iCloud Private Database. Albums are private by default and only shared with people you explicitly invite.

• Your data is stored only in your personal iCloud • No advertising SDKs, no analytics, no tracking • Photo library access is used solely to read the date and location of the photos you select
