I built Shoebox for my family because I was tired of losing precious memories in cluttered group chats and my messy camera roll. I'd constantly tell myself "I'll share those photos later," and never did. My family was the first to test Shoebox, and it's transformed how we stay connected through photos. I hope it does the same for yours.
