Retro is a private, friends-only space for sharing meaningful moments from your week—without an algorithm influencing what you see. Upload your photos and Retro organizes them into a weekly recap.

Don’t miss: Spin the dial on Retro’s Rewind tab to speedily scroll through photos from this time last year. Or tap the dice to shuffle to a random pic.

Letterloop’s thoughtful questions and prompts streamline the process of creating a group newsletter with friends, family, and colleagues. Set each issue to be emailed on a recurring schedule and the app will send reminders for everyone to share their latest life updates.

Don’t miss: Customize each issue with your own questions or those from the app’s question bank. You can also add a space for photos and songs in each issue.

Bump turns location sharing into a rich way to stay connected, letting you see fun details like a friend’s battery level, how long they spent at a spot, or how fast they’re driving.

Don’t miss: The app’s playful insights can spark IRL plans. When you’re with friends, each person can shake their iPhone to let others know you’re together—and the quickest route to your location.

Slowly fosters connections through letter writing. Share a bit about yourself with the Slowly community, or browse letters others have posted on the Discover People tab. Tap reply to send a message on a cute digital postcard; the farther away your recipient lives, the longer your message will take to reach them.

Don’t miss: The beautifully illustrated (digital) stamps you can add to every letter you write. You can unlock new ones during seasonal holidays and when you use Slowly in a new location.

Mozi is designed to improve your chances of crossing paths with friends. Share your upcoming activities—whether a visit to a coffee shop or a vacation abroad—for your connections to see (so they can hopefully adjust their plans accordingly).

Don’t miss: Jot down a private note to remember details, like who you saw and what you talked about.
