PeekGet early access
In development — early access opening soon

Send one photo.
Then take it back.

Set how long it lives. Set how many times they can open it. Kill it after you’ve sent it — even after it’s been delivered. It never lands in their camera roll.

  • No account for them
  • No ads, ever
  • We can’t read your photos

This is the real thing. Try it.

The problem

Every photo you send is a permanent gift.

The second it arrives it’s theirs. It writes to their storage, auto-saves to their camera roll, and syncs into a cloud backup you have no say over.

  1. You send it

    One tap. That is the last decision you get to make about it.

  2. It lands in their camera roll

    Auto-save is on by default on most phones. Nobody turns it off.

  3. It syncs to their cloud backup

    Where encryption is opt-in, and almost nobody opts in.

  4. It copies to every device they own

    Laptop, tablet, the old phone in a drawer.

  5. And it stays there

    No expiry. No view limit. No way to take it back.

Versus what you already have

You have view-once. Here’s what it can’t do.

The controls you want exist as one fixed preset, buried in an app built for something else.

Default behaviour as of August 2026. “Limited” mostly means the message disappears from the chat but anything already saved stays saved. These products change — if something here goes out of date, tell us and we’ll fix it.

Per photo, not per app

You write the terms.

Three chips, one tap each. Set a default once and sending is a single tap after that.

How long

How many times

Watermark

They can open it three times in the next 24 hours. After that it stops opening, for good.

Every view carries a faint watermark tied to their device. You can kill it before then, from your phone.

How it works

We enforce a policy on a file we can’t read.

Client-side-only expiry is an honour system. Ours isn’t — the server stops serving the file when your policy says so, without ever learning what it is.

  1. 01

    Encrypted before it leaves

    Your phone encrypts the photo with AES-256-GCM. What travels is ciphertext.

  2. 02

    We hold a file we can't open

    The blob sits on our servers under your policy — expiry, view count, revoked or not. We enforce all of it without ever seeing the picture.

  3. 03

    The key rides in the link

    It lives in the URL fragment, which browsers and link handlers never send to a server. It goes from your phone to theirs, past us.

No asterisks

What we can and can’t see.

Most privacy pages stop at the flattering half. Here’s all three parts, including the one that isn’t.

What we can’t see

The photo. It’s encrypted on your device before it’s uploaded, and the key travels in the link — never to our servers. We hold an encrypted file we have no way to open.

What we can see

That you sent something, when it was opened, and how big the file was. We keep as little of it as we can and delete it on expiry.

What nobody can prevent

Someone photographing their screen with a second phone. No app stops that, and any app that says otherwise is lying to you. What we do is make it obvious and traceable — screenshot alerts, and a watermark tied to the recipient.

Questions

The obvious ones.

Does the person I’m sending to need the app?
Yes. It installs in seconds, opens straight to the photo, and they never make an account.
What if they don’t open it?
It expires anyway, on the schedule you set.
So you can’t recover a photo for me?
No. That’s the point — and it’s the honest cost of the design. If the key is gone, the file is a brick to us too.
Can I send video?
Not yet. One photo at a time is the whole product for now.
What does it cost?
Free to send a few photos a week. A paid tier for unlimited sending, custom durations and view analytics.

The app isn’t out yet. Be first through the door.

One email when it ships. Nothing else, and never to anyone else.
