Full description
Photos to your friends' home screens. Glance at your phone — and see the latest photo from your closest friends. Right on your home screen, no app to open. Just the people who matter, on the screen you actually look at. HOW IT WORKS 1. Take a photo, pick one from your gallery, or share an image into Sillside from any other app. 2. It lands on your friends' home-screen widgets within seconds. 3. Theirs land on yours. 4. Tap one to react — and watch the emojis rain across the photo. TIGHT CIRCLES, MULTIPLE OF THEM Sillside is built around small circles — your partner and family, your closest friends, your climbing crew. Free users can be in up to 3 circles of up to 20 friends each. Photos go to one circle or several at a time. No public profile, no "explore", no algorithm, no follower count. Photos go to people you've explicitly added. Nobody else. ON THE HOME SCREEN The photo lives on your home screen, not in an app you have to open. Tap once for full size. Long-press a reaction to take it back. When a friend reacts, you see the emojis cascade down across the photo on your next look. The widget refreshes within seconds of a friend sending — even on phones with aggressive battery savers. We walk you through the per-manufacturer background-permission steps in onboarding so it actually works on your specific device. PRIVACY FIRST We do not sell your data. We do not run ads. We do not use your photos as training data. Photos go only to members of the circles you sent them to. There's no global feed, no aggregate dataset, no algorithmic mining. Photos are stored encrypted in transit and at rest in Firebase Storage; access is gated by Firestore security rules so only signed-in members of the relevant circle can read them. You can delete your account anytime from Settings → Delete account. We delete your data within 30 days. The full privacy policy is at sillside.app/privacy. DESIGNED FOR ANDROID Real home-screen widgets. Material You wallpaper-aware theming. Per-manufacturer onboarding for Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Oppo, Huawei, Vivo, and Pixel. Standard Play Billing for Sillside+. SILLSIDE+ — TRY 7 DAYS FREE The free tier is genuinely good — you can use Sillside forever without paying. Sillside+ is for people who want more: • Circles bigger than 20 friends • Up to 50 circles (free has 3) • 30-day photo history (free has 7-day retention) • Pin photos so they never expire • Custom invite link for each circle • Upload your own reaction stickers • Save photos to your gallery • Wallpaper-aware widget themes • Multiple widgets — pin each one to a different circle • A second widget that cycles through your recent photos • Longer captions (100 chars vs 30) Sillside+ is available as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. The 7-day free trial applies to the monthly plan; cancel anytime before the trial ends. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled — manage in your Google Play account. Pricing varies by region; the in-app purchase screen shows your local price. REQUIREMENTS Android 9 (API 28) or newer. Internet connection. Camera access (only when you take a photo). Notification permission (so the widget refreshes silently when a friend sends). Made in Switzerland by an indie developer. Questions, feedback, found a bug? Use Settings → "report a bug" inside the app, or email [email protected]. Sillside makes your phone feel like your closest friends are on it.
