Download Hallway Photos
Two pieces: the iPhone app that backs up your photos, and the host that keeps the family library on a computer you own. Both are free.
iPhone & iPad
The app
Backs up the albums you pick to your family's host, in original quality, and can free up space once each photo is verified at home.
In review now. This page will link to the App Store once it is live.
Windows 10 & 11
The host
Runs on a home PC and stores the library as ordinary folders and files. One installer, a tray icon, and a setup wizard — no command line.
In testing. Email emails@hallwayphotos.com to be told when it is ready. A Mac host is planned later.
How setup goes
- Install the host on the home PC and open it. The wizard picks a library folder and creates the owner account.
- Install the app on each phone. The first person signs in as the owner; everyone else creates an account or uses a six-digit invite code.
- Pick albums and a backup rule per album. New photos land on the PC, organized and checked, whenever the phone is on your home Wi-Fi.
Until the host installer ships, the library runs from the source in the project repository — see Support or email us.
