What YouTim Gallery actually does
A collaborative wedding album
Better than disposable cameras or a paid app: create a "wedding" YouTim, invite guests, and everyone adds their party photos. The couple has the full album the next day.
Sharing kid photos with grandparents
For parents who want to share kid photos with grandparents and close family, without posting on Facebook or Instagram.
A sports club's season photos
Team photos, matches, tournaments, club events: a season album accessible to members and their families.
A class album, school trip, bachelor/ette
For a one-time event, the dedicated YouTim and its gallery keep all memories in one place, instead of scattered on Snapchat.
Neighborhood block party memories
Neighbors, co-owners: centralize photos of a block party, a local charity event, a collective renovation.

Shared photo gallery: a simple, private solution
Photos from a collective event (wedding, trip, birthday, club season) often end up scattered: in WhatsApp where they vanish after months, in one participant's Google Photos others don't dare to ask for, or worse, in each person's phone never shared. YouTim Gallery solves this with a durable common album.
A European alternative to Google Photos shared
Google Photos shared works but requires all participants to have a Google account and accepts automatic analysis of their faces, places and objects. YouTim Gallery takes a different approach: your photos are never analyzed to train AI models, never used for ad targeting, and stay hosted in Europe.
Collaborative album without third-party account
Inviting a grandparent who's not on Google or Apple becomes simple: an email is enough to join the YouTim. No need to create a Google Account just for that.
Built for memory, not for engagement
YouTim doesn't try to keep you hooked or promote photos via an algorithm. It's a simple chronological album, made to preserve group memories.
