Early access · 50 lifetime spots

A tiny journal,
for the two of you.

Otay gives you and your sweetheart one small photo quest at a time — a nudge to notice something together. Finish it, and the next one’s waiting. Two photos, two captions, one shared memory only you two can see.

A peek inside

This is what you’ll open
together each day.

One quest at a time

One quest at a time

A tiny shared prompt — notice something, make a little plan, take a photo together. Finish it, and the next one's waiting.

It becomes a keepsake

It becomes a keepsake

Every finished quest develops into a polaroid in a private film roll only the two of you can see.

Watch it add up

Watch it add up

Your moods, the places you keep returning to, and the countdown to your next anniversary.

Make it yours

Make it yours

Style every polaroid — frame colours, finishes, and film filters. Your memories, your aesthetic.

Share it, or don't

Share it, or don't

Turn a memory into a strip to send, or keep it just for the two of you. HD and watermark-free.

What's in the app

Small prompts.
A little journal, growing on its own.

One quest, two perspectives

Every prompt is shared — you both see the same line and answer it your own way. The pair is the memory, not either photo alone.

Written in serif, not chrome

Quests read like a page from a notebook, not a push notification. A calm, papery interface that gets out of the way.

A journal, not a feed

Your memories are visible only to the two of you. No algorithm, no likes, no strangers, no ads — just a shared journal that fills itself in.

Throwbacks, unprompted

A year later, last spring's small moments surface on their own — a gentle way of remembering a life you're making together.

Your story, in numbers

An Us tab quietly keeps count — the moods you've felt, the places you keep returning to, and the days since you met.

Share it, or don't

Turn any memory into a beautiful strip to send — or keep it just for the two of you. HD and watermark-free.

Make every polaroid yours

Style your strips your way — frame colours, film filters, and selfie-badge looks. Your memories, your aesthetic.

On your home screen

A little piece of you two,
always a glance away.

Eight widgets for your Lock Screen and Home Screen — your latest memory, your next throwback, and today’s quest, one glance away.

How it works

Four small steps.
Then a long, quiet habit.

1

Invite your person.

One private link — by text, AirDrop, or whisper. Both phones pair, and Otay appears on each of them.

2

A quest appears.

A single prompt waits on both your Today screens. Finish it together and the next one appears — no timer, no daily limit. Written plainly, in a serif, for the two of you.

3

You both answer, your own way.

A photo, a caption, and a place — whatever you made of the prompt today. Neither of you sees the other's until you've both posted.

4

The journal fills itself in.

Each pair becomes one entry in your shared journal — chronological, quiet, yours. A year later, it's a small book you didn't know you were writing.

Small print

Questions, quietly answered.

Where do my photos live?
On Otay's secure backend, encrypted in transit and at rest, and visible only to you and your partner. There's no public feed and no algorithm. We don't sell your data, show ads, or train any model on your photos.
Is it really just for two people?
Yes. Otay is built for a pair — a partner, a close sibling, a best friend. One invite, two phones. That's the whole product.
How often do quests arrive?
There's no fixed schedule. A new quest appears once you've both finished the last one — go at whatever pace suits you, with no daily limit and no streak to keep.
Do quests expire or pile up?
No. A quest simply waits on your Today screen until you've both answered it — there's nothing to miss, nothing expires, and there's no streak to break. Take a day or take a week; it'll be right there when you're ready.
How much does it cost?
Right now you can lock in lifetime access as one of 50 early birds — $149 once for lifetime Otay Premium, covering both of you: every paid feature, forever. At launch, Otay will otherwise be an optional subscription around $7.99/mo, and one membership always covers the pair. Prefer to wait? The waitlist is free. No ads, ever.
When does it launch?
We're aiming for July 2026 on iOS. Both early birds and the waitlist get an email the moment it's live — and early-bird access activates then. If we slip, your early-bird purchase still stands; it's lifetime access whenever it ships.
Android?
Not yet. iOS 17+ first — we wanted to do one platform carefully before two. Android is on the list for next year.
Two ways in

Wait for your turn —
or lock in early.

Join the waitlist for free and we’ll let you in a pair at a time. Or back us now as one of the first 50 — and never pay again.
