Fotonest - Guests find their own event photos with one selfie

by•
Event photographers upload 2,000 photos, then lose a week sorting and sending them one by one. FotoNest ends that. Upload the gallery once; each guest opens the event from a link or QR, scans their face, and gets only the photos they're in — full resolution, usually within seconds. 99.8% match accuracy. Selfies are never stored: just an anonymous signature, discarded after matching. Events: public, PIN-locked, or matches-only. One-time from $3 an event, no subscription. Free demo, no card.

**The problem** Every event ends with a folder of photos that the people in them never see. The state of the art today is a shared Google Drive link or a WhatsApp dump. Which means the folder is public, so anyone with the link has all of it. Every guest scrolls 2,000 photos hunting for their own face. And the photographer loses the week after the shoot sorting and sending images one at a time. Three problems stacked on top of each other: no privacy, no findability, and hours of manual delivery for the person who was paid to shoot, not to file. **What FotoNest does** Upload the gallery once. Each guest opens the event from a link or a QR code, signs in, takes one selfie, and gets back only the photos they appear in — full resolution, usually within seconds of upload. 99.8% match accuracy. Nobody sorts, tags, or sends anything. **On privacy, because it's the first thing I'd ask** The selfie is never stored. It becomes an anonymous numerical signature used to find matches, then it's discarded. You choose whether an event is public, PIN-locked, or restricted so each guest sees only their own matches. When the event expires, all of it is deleted permanently — photos, face data, records. No archive, no recovery. There are no host-side analytics either, which was deliberate: it isn't built to keep track. **Where it honestly stands** - The Android app is live on Google Play. iOS isn't shipped yet — iPhone and desktop run the full flow in the browser, which is the main surface anyway. - One-time pricing per event, not a subscription. You pay upfront for the months you want the event to stay live. From $3. - Free demo event if you want to poke at it: 20 photos, no card. **What I'd like your take on** Would you scan your face to get your photos? It's built to be the version I'd be willing to use myself, but that's one person's instinct — I want to know where other people draw that line, and what would have to be true for you to be comfortable with it. Happy to answer anything about the matching, the deletion model, or how it's built.
