Capture the moments that matter — with the people who matter.
Tether is a photo journal and a quiet social app in one. Share photos with the friends and family you actually know, and keep your private memories in a personal journal that's just for you.
Social without the noise:
- No ads or promoted content. Ever.
- No algorithm — your feed is simply chronological.
- Mutual connections only. No one-way follows, no follower counts.
- 150 connections max — room for the people who matter, and no more.
- Post in the last 7 days to see your feed — no lurking.
- We will never sell your data.
Your personal photo journal:
- Save photos privately — memories you want to keep, not broadcast.
- Choose for each photo: post it to your feed, or keep it just for you.
- Browse it all in one place — Public, Private, or All.
How it works:
Sign in with your phone number. Find friends from your contacts. Post up to 10 photos, react with emoji, and leave comments — or save a photo privately to your journal. That's it.
Privacy first:
Your phone number is only used to sign you in and find people you know — it's never shown to other users. Your shared photos are visible only to your connections, and private journal photos are visible only to you. Optional Face ID / Touch ID lock.
