What the video shows: “Your group chat is losing your photos.” A finished board, Tahoe weekend · September 2026, with 44 posts from 6 members. “Step 1 · Make a board for the trip.” Create, then the Trip template, and the title Tahoe weekend is typed in. “Step 2 · Invite everyone who was there.” The board is created, and the “Who was there?” sheet offers one link to share and a QR code to scan. “They join as Contributors.” Four friends are each invited as a Contributor. “Step 3 · Everyone adds their photos.” Their photos land in batches: 5 posts, then 17, then 44. “One board. Every angle.” Reading down the finished board’s photos. End card: the Passboards dragonfly and wordmark. “Free on the App Store.” The video is silent.

What lives in Passboards

More than an album.

It started as the place for the weekend’s photos. Now it’s where your group keeps the rest of it too: the words, the songs, the plans and the chat.

  • Boards

    A board for every trip

    Photos and videos from everyone who was there, laid out as one calm spread. Tap any moment to see it full screen, then swipe through the lot.

  • Write

    Notes and essays

    Post a quick note or a long piece with headings, quotes and lists. Longer ones open in a full-screen reader.

  • Music

    The soundtrack

    Share a song, album or playlist from Spotify or Apple Music, with a 30-second preview right in the feed.

  • Clubs

    A home for the group

    Every club has its own mark and address, a group chat, announcements, and events people can RSVP to.

  • Messages

    Talk it over

    Direct messages and club chats with reactions. Like and comment on anything, and send any post or board straight into a chat.

  • Widget

    Back on your Home Screen

    The Highlights widget brings recent memories back to your Home Screen as sharp, full-bleed photos, on iPhone and Android.

Monday morning

Never send this text again.

The board was already in the chat. Nobody had to collect the photos afterward.

The parts you missed.

Dinner in the kitchen. The fire out back. 1:07 a.m., apparently. Tap any photo to see it full screen, then swipe through everyone’s.

Clubs

For the people you keep making plans with.

A ski club, a Sunday run, the friends who take a trip every winter. Every time the group gets together, start a new board. The club keeps them in one place, with the group chat, announcements and the next event right beside them.

Every club has its own mark and an address like passboards.com/c/tahoe-ski-club. Share a post with your clubs and it lands in their Tagged section. Nobody outside the club sees the tag.

Privacy and safety

Your people, not an audience.

What you share is for the people you share it with. The rules are written down plainly, and they describe what the app actually does.

  • Private when you want it

    Every board is public or private, with roles for who can post. Clubs can be invite-only, and profiles can be private.

  • No location on your photos

    Location and camera details are stripped from the files before they upload. Nobody sees where a photo was taken unless you add a place.

  • Block and report

    Block or report a person, post, comment or club, right where you see it.

  • No ads today. No ad trackers.

    No advertising identifiers, and we don’t sell your information. Our public web pages set no cookies and run no analytics. The app’s usage analytics go only to our own servers.

    Turn them off in Settings › Privacy.

New in Passboards 2.0.16

Chats, uploads and scrolling you can count on.

  • Chats catch up

    Chats catch up on every message you missed while the app was away, and a message that doesn't send stays in the chat with a way to try again.

  • Uploads keep going

    Uploads keep going when you leave the app, and a phone that is out of space says so instead of blaming the connection.

  • Smoother scrolling

    Scrolling is smoother on club pages and Home, and Explore no longer shows the same posts twice.

  • Lighter on data

    Videos wait until you stop on them before they load, and previews don't play by themselves in Low Data Mode.

  • Exports that don't linger

    A finished board export no longer stays on your phone or in your iCloud backup for good, taking up space.

  • A clean sign-out

    Signing out clears that account's notifications and badge from your phone, so none of them are left behind.

Also new, from Passboards 2.0.15

  • Stalls start again

    An upload that stalls or slows to a crawl while the app is open starts again on a fresh connection, so it finishes without closing and reopening the app.

  • A bar you can trust

    The upload bar shows how far your photos have really got, so you can see an upload moving.

  • Originals accounted for

    If a post goes up without its full-quality original, the upload row tells you instead of leaving it out quietly.

  • Shares accounted for

    Share photos from another app and anything that can't be added is named on the upload row, so nothing goes missing without a word.
