PixTribu: Family Photos

Family photos stay in the family. With PixTribu, you can share even your children's moments with the people you choose, without posting them online or storing them in a cloud photo library. Devices pair directly with each other. There is no account to create and no central server that keeps your memories. Once paired, devices join the same Tribù and sync on their own: over your home Wi-Fi when they can, and over an encrypted internet connection when you're apart. HOW IT WORKS • Pair with a QR code, or with an invite link you can send over WhatsApp or any other app. The link is handy when the other person isn't with you. • Once devices share a Tribù, albums sync themselves across every connected device. • Photos arrive as previews first, so an album is ready to browse right away. The full-resolution original downloads on demand with one tap. • Share a photo or video from any other app straight into a PixTribu album. • Download a whole album at full resolution with a single tap. PRIVACY FIRST • Everything that travels between devices, pairing and photos alike, is end-to-end encrypted (crypto_box, libsodium): only sender and recipient can read it. • When your devices are on different networks, our server passes the encrypted data along. It can't read it and doesn't keep it. • Received photos land in a dedicated folder (Pictures/PixTribu), kept separate from your own camera roll. • Removing someone from a Tribù stops future sharing with them. Leaving a shared album stops it from being silently re-created later. BUILT FOR REAL USE • Batched sync notifications that open straight into the album that was just updated. • If something fails to sync, tapping the status badge shows who it couldn't reach and why, with a "Retry now" that acts immediately instead of waiting. • New photos still arrive with the app closed, through push notifications. PixTribu is built for families and close friends who want to stay connected through photos and videos, without an account or a public cloud.
