Retro is a social app that feels like a joy, not a habit. Here, you’re posting for yourself as much as your friends because it’s a photo journal that helps you backfill each week with photos, videos, and screenshots that are already on your camera roll.

Beautiful and simple way for connecting with friends without any of the ads or spam of Instagram or TikTok. Great for parents who want to share photos of their children in a privacy safe way.

I wish I had more people in my network willing to use it, because it's really neat, thoughtful and sticky without being focused on growth metrics.

The social platform we need, not the one we deserve. Shared with all my primary group chats. Congrats on the launch and please let me know if there's anything I can do to support!

Wonderful app! Feels like a throw-back to the good ol' days of social before influencers, brands, meme-accounts et al turned the feed into The Feed (TM) where "more eyes --> more ads." Fun to post more care-free and see what my friends are actually doing.

I've been using the beta for a while and it's amazing. Love the lack of thirsting for likes and editing photos, just seeing pics of what you're friends are up to, without any fluff.

I’ve been using Retro as my main social/personal app to post updates since earlier this year. Obv I love and will always love Instagram but it’s honestly been so joyful (yes!) to have a space to see my real friends and just what they’ve been up to, and then scroll back and reflect on my own weeks as they happened. I feel no pressure to post and no judgment on my own or others’ content… just pure joy and gratitude that I see my friends are doing well, doing fun things, seeing friends and fam, living life :)

Fast software, feels extremely well crafted making it a delight to use. Easily my favorite way to share photos with friends — sort of like perfect group-chat photo sharing, wrapped in an elegant interface, quick and easy to post / see friends' photos / comment. Been using nearly daily for the last three months as a tester and love it.

Been using retro for awhile now! Ryan and Nathan are keeping the dream alive that a social app can be a positive influence that makes you feel more connected with the real people in your life and inspires you to live more.

Great way to see what's going with friends in a casual way, also dig that it is a bit of a memory bank. The design is CRISPY. Nice work ya'll.

The design, copy, and experience is polished and somehow feels "high class" 🤌. No FOMO, no bots, just a simple tool to help me connect and stay up to date with the people I love. This is where I want to share my life with my friends and family.
