Sway: Hourly Photos

Every hour, one shot.

Sway is a day you share. Start a Sway, bring your friends along, and once an hour, on the hour, you all get the same ping and each take one photo or a short clip of whatever you are doing right then. No feed, no filters.

Your shot lands next to everyone else's, hour by hour: same hour, different eyes. Every Sway ends as one video.

How it works

Start a Sway
Pick the day and the hours, from 3 hours up to a day, even past midnight. A Sway holds three people, five when anyone in it has Sway+.

The ping
Once an hour, on the hour, Sway nudges you. You choose the hours you want to hear from us, and outside them it stays quiet.

One shot an hour
Take a photo, or hold the shutter for a short clip of up to 5 seconds. Missed an hour? Pick a reason and your friends see it instead of a blank.

Your people
Invite friends with a link or a QR code.

The day, hour by hour
Swipe through the Sway: everyone's shots stacked the way they appear in the video. The calendar keeps a cover for every day you shot.

Repeat it
Repeat a Sway on the days you pick, every weekday for the gym or Saturdays with the family, and it starts by itself each time.

React with your face
Hold a shot, pick a mood, answer with a selfie.

One video a Sway
Sway stitches the hours into a vertical split-screen video, one row for each of you. Ask for one whenever you like once the Sway has ended.

Your day, on a map
Allow location when you shoot and Sway also makes a map video: every shot pinned where it was taken, with the route between them. Location is optional and never blocks the shutter.

Free, and Sway+
Sway is free to start: take shots, swipe through the hours and make videos with your friends. Sway+ is the subscription that unlocks the video. One member with Sway+ is enough: then everyone in that Sway watches the video and the map video in full quality, saves and shares them, and the Sway has room for five. Without it the video stays blurred and cannot be saved.

Your shots are visible only to the people in your Sway. Sign in with Google.
