A weekly ritual · Built for replies
Stay in touch with your people — one weekly photo email at a time.
You pick photos. You tag who gets each one.
Once a week, everyone gets a beautiful inline email. No links. No apps. Just photos from someone who thought of them.
The point is engagement — a reply saying hi, or more to talk about the next time you're together.
Free during early access. Your photos are never posted anywhere.
Recipients need nothing — they just get an email. They can unsubscribe with one click, and replies go straight to your inbox.
From someone who cares
What's been going on this week
What recipients see: photos inline, captions underneath, your note at the top.

Photos, screenshots...
Pick a few images from your camera roll — the small moments matter most.

To lists you curate
Family sees different photos than friends. Curating takes seconds.
03
Send
Email, replies welcome
One email per person, with the right photos inlined — and Reply comes back to you.
Two things tend to happen once you start sending
Replies that say hi
A photo worth opening usually earns a reply. It lands straight in your inbox — no app, no account, no pressure to respond instantly.
Richer real-life catch-ups
Your photos give you both something concrete to talk about, so the next time you're face to face the conversation picks up where the week left off.
What this isn't
No feeds. No algorithms. No ads. No bots. No brands. No influencers. No apps for recipients. Just a small email from someone who thought of you.
Frequently asked questions
Algorithms, ads, and bots have hollowed out the feed's value. A photo dump to five or ten people who actually care beats a post to 500 followers — and it gets you replies, not likes.
A fixed weekly cadence removes the pressure to respond right away — it's a habit, not an obligation, so it's easier to actually keep up.
No. They get a plain email with your photos inlined — nothing to click, nothing to install. They can unsubscribe any time, or hit Reply and say hi.
Type an email and add them to a list — family, friends, your book club. Make as many lists as you like. People can be on more than one list, and they'll get a single email with every photo you picked for them.
WeeklyHi is free while we're in early access. We expect to make this a paid app at some point. We'll never have ads, and we'll never use your photos.
Only the people in lists you tag. There is no feed, no public profile, and no browsing by strangers. Photos aren't posted anywhere.
Photos are accessible only via the email you sent, and only for 3 months. WeeklyHi is designed to build connection, not to be a photo archive.
Much credit goes to Allie Volpe whose Vox article The lazy but incredibly effective way to stay in touch with friends makes a strong case for an app like this.
No — it's for keeping the thread going between visits. The photos give you both something concrete to talk about the next time you're together, and replies keep the conversation moving in between.
