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.
Journals are group photo albums that make it easy to document your favorite moments with your favorite people - even if they don’t have Retro.
I've been using Retro for weeks now, and it's so refreshing to feel like there is a social app that is actually about.. uh... my friends? 1. I love having a place to share bits of my personal life 2. I love seeing what my friends are up to 3. I love that it feels like a less performative space. I love cracking jokes on twitter/bluesky/threads, but this is just about sharing my life (for me).
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.
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.
