The Ohhi app for iOS is here

From today, Ohhi is in the App Store. You can put the app on your iPhone and upload and share your photos and videos straight from your phone, without having to go via the computer first. It is the same Ohhi as on the web, with the same account and the same library.

Your whole library now on your phone too

You sign in with the account you already have and see your familiar timeline right away. You add new shots with a few taps, straight from your camera roll. We keep the files as close to the original as we can: turn on Keep originals and a photo or video up to 4K is stored the way you shot it. Playback runs through a version of up to 1080p.

Sharing works the way you are used to. You invite people to an album and only they see what is in it, unless you create a share link yourself. If you get a notification on your phone, it is because someone from your own circle added something or reacted to it, not because an algorithm wants your attention.

From the app, your photos go straight to our servers in Europe. There is no ad network and no external tracker in between.

The same principles as on the web

The app changes nothing about how we handle your data. There are no ads, we only place the cookies needed to keep you signed in and remember your language, and your images never train an AI model. Face recognition is off by default; if you turn it on, the computing runs on our own servers.

• Upload from your phone. Photos and videos go straight from your camera roll into your library; with Keep originals on, the original is kept.
• Phone backup. The app now also puts new photos and videos into your private archive on its own; in the background that mostly happens at night while charging. How that works is in back up your phone's photos automatically.
• Notifications from your own circle. You only get a push when someone you know shares something or reacts; on top of that, the backup lets you know when your storage is full.
• Subscription through the App Store. You expand your storage in the app via Apple, or you simply keep starting for free.

The app is free to download from the App Store; you create an account in the app or already via the plans. There is now an Android version too. Where your photos and videos live after that, you can read in servers in Europe: what it really means.
