Add each other, from both sides
A connection only forms when two people add each other. Until then you are invisible: nobody can find you by name, number, or username, and nobody outside your circle sees a single photo.
Everyday moments, close friends only.
Subsets is a private photo-sharing app for the people who actually matter. No public profiles, no followers, no feed to perform for.

How Subsets works
Most photo apps are built to grow an audience. Subsets is built for a small circle. Every account starts private, and it stays that way unless you decide otherwise.
Albums and folders
Sort photos and videos into albums, and choose who can see each folder. Friends can add to shared albums too, so a trip or a birthday ends up in one place instead of six chat threads.
Memory Lane
A timeline of everything shared with you, sorted by month automatically. Scroll back to last spring without digging through a camera roll.
Candid dumps
Share the unfiltered, in-between moments with the friends you choose. Posts to the feed show for 24 hours; albums keep what is worth keeping.
Private by design, not by setting
Nothing on Subsets is published to the open internet. Photos are served only to signed-in friends you have accepted, so they cannot be indexed by search engines or opened from a public link.
- Location data never leaves your phone. EXIF metadata, including GPS coordinates and camera details, is stripped from every photo at upload.
- No passwords to leak. You sign in with a one-time code sent to your email. Codes are stored as hashes, expire in five minutes, and work exactly once.
- No ads, no data sales, no third-party analytics. Subsets is free, and your photos are not the product.
- Your photos never train AI. Our Terms of Service commit that your content is never used to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any machine-learning model, by us or anyone else.
The full details are in the Privacy Policy, written to be read rather than skimmed.
Common questions
- Who can see my photos?
- Only friends you have mutually added. There is no public feed, no discover page for private accounts, and no public profiles.
- Is Subsets free?
- Yes. There are no ads and no paid tiers. Subsets is made by Workwind, Inc., a small company that does not monetize your photos.
- How old do I need to be?
- At least 13 worldwide, and at least 16 in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.
- Can I delete everything?
- Yes, immediately, from the app or by email request. Photos, albums, and connections are removed right away, and backups are purged within 30 days.
