Instant Glimpse
See friends without the feed
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your friends' photos live on your home screen — always there, no scrolling. React with an emoji, right where you see it.
Glimpse is a camera. Your friend's home screen is where the photo lives.
No feed to scroll. No app to open just to check in. Send a photo, and it shows up right where your friend already looks — their home screen — the moment it arrives.
How it works
• Open Glimpse, take a photo, send it to a friend
• It appears on their home screen as a widget — no notification to tap, no app to open
• They can react instantly with an emoji or a quick reply
• You see their reaction land in real time
Stay close without trying
Glimpse isn't another feed to maintain. It's a quiet, always-on connection to the people you care about — a photo of your coffee, a walk, a bad haircut, whatever's happening right now. No captions required, no likes to chase.
See everything you've shared
Your History holds every moment you've sent and received. Posts shows your shares alongside how your friends reacted to each one — every emoji, every reply, in order.
Built around real friendships
Add friends by their handle. No public profiles, no follower counts, no strangers in your feed — just the people you actually talk to.
Glimpse is photo-only for now. Take the shot, send it, and let it show up where it matters.
