Why watch other people's lives?
Watch your own
Your life is wonderful too. Thousands of videos sit in your phone, most never watched again. Lumora turns them into a swipeable feed and arranges your photos into posts — your library gets organised as you scroll.

The system library is great at storing, not at watching or organising.

Your library stays on your phone
Lumora has no servers of its own and no accounts. Duplicate detection, similar photos and post tags all run on your iPhone.

- Comments live only in your own private iCloud database, encrypted
- No ads, analytics or third-party SDKs
- Deletions only go to Recently Deleted, recoverable within 30 days
- Categories are system albums — they stay even if you delete Lumora
- Face ID is verified by iOS; Lumora never sees your face data
Questions you might have
Can I get deleted items back?
Yes. All deletions go through the system and only move to Recently Deleted in Photos, where they can be restored within 30 days. The system also asks you to confirm.
Can I see Lumora's categories in Photos?
Yes. Every category is an album in the Photos app, synced both ways in real time.
Can it play videos stored in iCloud?
Yes. When the original is only in iCloud, Lumora downloads it through the system and shows the progress.
Could duplicate detection delete the wrong thing?
It only suggests — nothing is deleted automatically. Each group marks the suggested keeper, favourites are never suggested for deletion, and you confirm at the end.
Can photos be moved straight into the iCloud Shared Library?
Apple only lets the Photos app move items into the Shared Library. Lumora lets you collect what you want to share into an album as you scroll, then open Photos and move them all at once.
Can other people see my comments?
By default they only sync to your own iCloud. Only after you start “Shared comments” and invite someone can the two of you see each other's comments.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Everything runs on your iPhone with no connection needed. Only photos and videos whose originals are stored in iCloud need a connection to load.
