Your closest people,
on your Home Screen.
Snap a photo and it appears instantly on the Home Screen of everyone in your circle — no algorithm, no strangers, just the people you choose.
Mom
just now
Share moments, not feeds.
Private by design
Your photos live in your iCloud account. We run no servers and never see your content — it's shared only with the people you explicitly invite.
Widget-first
The latest photo from your circle appears right on your Home Screen. No app to open, no feed to scroll — it's just there.
Multiple circles
Create a separate circle for your partner, your kids, your friends. Each widget shows whoever you choose.
Three taps to share.
- 1
Create a circle
Give it a name and invite people with a single iMessage link.

It's on their screen
Your photo appears on everyone's Home Screen widget — instantly.
Not another social app.
Social media was built for audiences. Venn is built for the handful of people you actually want to stay close to.
No algorithm
Your feed isn't curated, ranked, or optimized for engagement. The latest photo from your circle is just there — the moment it's shared.
No followers
There's no public profile, no follower count, no strangers. Every circle is a private room with a guest list you control.
No pressure
No likes, no streaks, no notification spiral. Share when something's worth sharing. That's it.
Group chats are noise. Venn is signal.
An iMessage thread buries photos under reactions, memes, and scheduling threads. Venn puts one photo — the latest one — on your Home Screen where you actually see it, every time you unlock your phone.
Made for the people who matter most.
One app, a few circles. Each one a private window into someone else's day.
For couples
Your partner's lunch. Their walk to work. A smile caught mid-afternoon. No text needed — it just appears on your screen, right when you need the reminder that they're thinking of you.
For families
Grandparents watch the grandkids grow up, one Home Screen photo at a time. No app to learn, no account to create — just a widget that's always there with the latest moment.
For close friends
Life gets busy. Texts pile up unanswered. Venn keeps a quiet shared window into each other's days — no pressure to reply, just the comfort of staying close.
We have never seen your photos. We never will.
Venn runs entirely on Apple's CloudKit. Your photos go from your iPhone to your iCloud account — encrypted, in your name, under your control. We don't have servers. We can't see your content. We never store it.
No Venn servers
Photos are stored in your iCloud account, not ours. There is no Venn cloud.
No account required
Sign in with your Apple ID. No username, no password, no profile to create or delete.
Delete anytime
Leave a circle or delete the app and your data stays in your iCloud — or you can delete it from there.
