Retro

Share photos worth remembering

If you could design the most perfect social network, what would it look like? We asked this and landed on Retro, a new social app that feels like a breath of fresh air.

Retro is a weekly photo journal that (1) brings you closer to the people you actually care about and (2) helps you appreciate your own life - all without hijacking your time and attention.

So dust off those photos that are just sitting in your camera roll and spread some joy in the world.

And if you’re still reading, here are some reasons to try Retro:

- EASY TO START: Start by choosing photos you’ve already taken and backfill the weeks on your profile with the photos and videos you want to remember.

- NO PRESSURE: Everything was designed with your comfort in mind. Your friend list is private. Likes on your posts are private. No captions required. Update any part of your profile anytime.

- PRINT & SHIP POSTCARDS: Spread some joy through snail mail by printing your photo as a high quality postcard and sending it to anyone in the world via USPS first class. Free for now.

- MONTHLY RECAPS: Create a beautiful photo collage or video slideshow from the photos you’ve shared from the week, month, or year. Then share via text or Instagram in a tap.

- GROUP JOURNALS: Start a private journal and drop the link in your group chat to collect and share photos after events. Perfect for parties, projects, friends, parents, and couples.

- GROUP MESSAGING: Retro is now an all-in-one home for groups large and small, with the ability to share photos, videos, and notes privately in Journals and start group chats in Messages.

This is the app we wanted for our family and friends, and we’re so excited to share it with you. We hope you love it.
