Catch Upby Apps for Us
Private photo sharing that connects you to your family and friends.
Why Catch Up
Create private channels for the groups in your life, and share posts that only the people in each channel can see.
All your channels come together in one home feed. It feels like social media, without the bloat: no sponsored content and no influencers. Just posts from the people you care about, with no pressure.
React, comment and catch up on the last 7 days of their lives, whenever suits you.
How it works
Make a channel
One for each group: Family, the school mums, Saturday football. You moderate the ones you make.
Share the invite link
Drop it in your group chat. Each person sees who runs the channel and how many are in it before they join.
Post your photos
Up to 10 at a time, to one channel or several. Each channel can call you something different, like “Mum” in Family.
Catch up
Everyone’s posts land in your home feed. When you’ve seen the week, you’re all caught up, and posts disappear after 7 days.
Private by design
- Only your channels
- Only the members of a channel can see what’s shared in it. There’s no public side at all.
- Gone after a week
- Posts, photos, reactions and comments are deleted 7 days after they’re shared.
- You decide about saving
- Saving is off unless the poster turns it on for their post.
- No location in photos
- Location and camera details are removed on your phone before a photo is uploaded.
- No passwords
- Sign in with Google or a 6-digit code sent to your email.
- Leave any time
- Delete your account and everything you’ve shared from Settings, straight away.
Good to know
- What does it cost?
- Nothing. Channels are free for up to 50 members.
- Which phones?
- Any iPhone or Android phone, in the web browser. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
- What about notifications?
- One email a day when there’s something new, which you can switch off in Settings.
- Who runs a channel?
- Whoever made it. They can remove people and posts, close the invite link, or hand the channel to someone else.
