Fafam

One event. Everyone’s photos. All in one place.

Fafam is a private photo sharing app for real-life moments. Create an event, invite your people, and everyone uploads their photos to the same gallery. No accounts to manage, no social media, no algorithms. Just the photos that matter, from the people who were there.

What it’s for

Weddings and celebrations

The best wedding photos aren’t always from the photographer. Your cousin caught the flower girl mid-laugh. Your college roommate got the candid toast reaction. Grandma took a blurry but irreplaceable shot of three generations together. Fafam collects all of those into one gallery, sorted by when they were taken, so you get the full story of the day from every angle.

Family gatherings

Thanksgiving, reunions, birthday parties, holiday dinners. Everyone takes photos on their own phone and they stay there. With Fafam, the host creates an event, shares a link, and suddenly you have Uncle Mike’s backyard shots alongside the kids’ table chaos alongside the group photo someone remembered to take. No group chat with 47 unrelated messages to scroll past.

Trips with friends

A weekend cabin trip. A beach day. A road trip. Everyone shoots different things. Fafam gives the group a shared album that builds itself as the trip unfolds. Open the app, upload what you’ve got, browse what everyone else saw.

Work and teams

An offsite, a conference, a product launch, a team dinner. Someone always ends up being the “can you send me that photo” person. Instead: one event link in Slack, everyone uploads, done. Also useful for sharing photos of whiteboards, signage, or anything the team needs to reference later.

Everyday sharing

A playdate at the park. A neighborhood block party. A pickup basketball game. Not everything needs a wedding-level event — sometimes you just want to swap photos with three people without creating a group chat or posting publicly.

Signing in

Getting an invite

Fafam is invite-only. You get in one of two ways:

Someone gives you an invite link — a URL like withme.you/i/FAMILY — that lets you create an account. You enter your phone number, verify with a one-time code sent via text, pick a username, and you’re in. From there you can create your own events and invite others.

Or someone shares an event link with you — a URL like withme.you/e/Xk9mQw — and you sign up right there. After verifying your phone and picking a username, you’re taken straight to the event’s join page. Tap “Join Event” and you can view and upload photos immediately.

Either way, there’s no password to remember. When you come back, you sign in with your username and verify with a text code. That’s it.

Returning users

If you already have an account, go to withme.you and sign in with your username. We’ll text a one-time code to the phone number on file. Enter the code and you’re in — straight to your home page with all your events. Your login lasts 30 days before you need to verify again.

Your profile

Every user has a public profile page at username.withme.you. If you’ve made any of your events public, they’ll be listed there — anyone can browse those galleries without needing an account. If none of your events are public, your profile just shows your name and username.

You can add a profile photo from the Settings page — it appears in the nav bar, on your profile, and next to your name in event member lists. The photo is circular; you position and zoom it before saving. See Settings for details.

Your profile is how other people discover your shared albums. When someone views an event’s member list, each name links to that person’s profile. From there they can tap into any public event to browse the gallery.

If you visit your own profile page while logged in, you’ll see it exactly as others do, with a “Your public page” label at the top so you know you’re previewing.

Groups

Groups let you organize people — your family, your friend group, your team. Tap the people icon in the nav bar (between the bell and your avatar) to open the Groups page where you can create groups, view pending invitations, and manage your memberships. Groups you host show up on your public profile. You can invite an entire group to an event with one tap — every accepted member gets a notification. See Groups for the full guide.

Notifications

The bell icon in the nav bar shows when you have unread notifications. Notifications are used for group invites, event invites, comments on your photos, and informational messages (like when you’re removed from an event or an invitation is withdrawn). Tap the bell to see your notifications — accept or decline invites, or mark informational ones as read.

Each notification shows the related entity’s image on the right — an event or group avatar, or a photo thumbnail for photo comments and reactions. Comment and reaction notifications include a link that scrolls you directly to the specific comment or reaction on the page.

Pending invites (group and event) stay on your notifications page until you accept or decline them, no matter how old they are. Other notifications (comments, reactions, removals) are shown for 14 days and then drop off.

You can also enable push notifications to get OS-level alerts on your device when you receive invitations — even when the app isn’t open. Push notifications show the event or group avatar as the icon when available. Enable them from the Settings page. See Settings for details and device requirements.

Comments & Reactions

React to photos with emoji (👍 ❤️ 😂 and more) and leave comments on photos or events. The host can turn comments on or off for their event or individual photos. See Comments & Reactions for details.

Privacy

Fafam is built for private sharing by default:

The audience is everyone from a 90-year-old grandparent to a teenager. The design prioritizes simplicity, large text, and high contrast so that nobody needs help using it.
