Hi, I'm Akshay, the developer behind Pressbook.
This started with a simple discomfort. A 2024 Oxford study found 87% of apps share your data with third parties. Photos are the most personal data most of us carry, yet almost every photo-book or album app uploads your whole library to a server to do the work.
So we built one that does the work on your phone instead.
Pressbook reads your camera roll with Apple's Vision framework (it scores shots, finds faces, and keeps the moments worth keeping) and turns them into three things:
• Albums: magazine-quality, 200+ hand-drawn layouts, 600 DPI print-ready PDF
• Carousels: seamless 2 to 5 panel Instagram posts, sliced on export
• Collages: quick single-frame posts for feed or stories
No server. No sign-up. Nothing leaves your phone, and it works in airplane mode. The privacy isn't a policy you have to trust; it's the architecture.
It's iOS 18+, iPhone and iPad. The free tier is real (albums up to 20 photos). Pro is $4.99/mo, $29.99/yr, or $79.99 lifetime.
I'll be here answering everything. What would you make first, and is there anything you wish a photo app did that none of them do today?
An offer for the launch: Pressbook is free to try, and the code 1MFPHUNT unlocks everything for your first month, no strings. Make an album or a carousel with your own photos, then tell me something real. A bug, a rough edge, or a feature you wish it had.
If the feedback is genuinely useful, I'll send you Pressbook Pro for life. Reply here or DM me. I'm reading everything today, and I'd rather hear what's wrong than what's nice.
