The feed

Scroll your own life

Apple Photos is built for finding a photo. Rolldrift is built for wandering through them, the way you already scroll everything else.

The feed: a video from yesterday playing muted, with the date above itThree photos taken together in the fog, as one post you swipe throughA post with a note under it: first swim of the summerThe Home Screen widget: a photo from this day seven years agoJump to a month: every month of the library as a tile with a countThe Liked feed: every hearted post, which are also Favorites in Apple PhotosRediscover: every year of today, one year ago at the top

Open it, and the past sits beside the photo

Turn an open iPhone Duo on its side: the feed stays left of the fold, and the other half follows the photo you are on, with the same place in other years, a small map and your note. Folded, it is the same feed as on any iPhone.

What it does

Videos you forgot you took

A third of most libraries is video nobody replays. In the feed they start, muted, as you reach them. One tap turns the sound on, and it stays on while you keep scrolling. A muted feed never stops your music.

One post per moment

Twelve shots of the same sunset become one post you swipe through, not twelve. Date and place sit on top, the way a post should read.

Write what was happening

A note sits under the photo, and you read it again the next time you scroll past. Notes are yours: export them any time, free.

Nothing trapped in the app

A heart is the photo's Favorite in Apple Photos. Albums you make here are real Photos albums. Delete Rolldrift and they are all still there.

Today's memory, on your Home Screen

A widget shows a photo from this day in past years, a new one each morning, and the Lock Screen says how long ago. If you want a nudge, turn on the daily reminder: it comes only on days with a memory, and never once you've opened the app that day.

Any month, in two taps

Tap the calendar for every month you have, with a cover and a count, or drag the scrubber through the years. Filters for Photos, Videos, Liked and With notes keep your place in time.


FAQ

A few things you might be wondering

What is free, and what is Pro?

The whole feed of your whole library is free, for good: every gesture, hearts, notes, filters, jump to a month, albums, the daily On this day post and the memory widget. Rolldrift Pro is a single one-time purchase that adds Rediscover (every year of today, and Shuffle) and lets the widget show your hearts, an album or Shuffle. Memory apps usually charge every month; this is one purchase.

Does it upload my photos?

No. Rolldrift has no server. It reads your library on the iPhone, like Photos does, and writes only two things back: Favorites when you heart a post, and albums you choose.

Does it work with iCloud Photos?

Yes. Photos stored in iCloud load as you reach them, with a small progress ring; the feed never waits on one post.

Can I share with family?

Not inside Rolldrift: it is a feed for one person. Share any post to Messages or anywhere else with the share button, or use an iCloud Shared Album in Photos.

Your photos are already the best feed you own.
