Encrypted the moment you add it
Photos are encrypted on your phone and go straight to members' phones.
See it together, talk about it together
Whoever adds a photo, it lands in everyone's album. Add a caption, then talk it over with emoji, comments and replies.
Day one at the beach
Let's go back here 🌊
Next month?
Everyone's photos from that day
After a trip, pick the dates and ask. Each member's phone finds the photos taken then, and they choose what to add.
Search in plain words
Type “sunset at the beach” or “birthday cake” and Moa finds matching photos. Any language works, and the analysis happens only on your phones.
See who has it, at a glance
Know right away whether every member's phone has the new photos. If some haven't reached you, Moa tells you and you can ask for them with a tap.
Everything you expect from an album app
Make a video
Pick photos and get a short video with music. It's made on your phone and goes straight into the album.
Places
Photos gather on a map by where they were taken. You decide whether to share locations, and they're encrypted when you do.
Voice comments
Say it instead of typing. Tap once to record, listen back, then send. Voices travel encrypted between phones, just like photos.
Large view
Bigger text and photos, only the buttons you need. Turn it on for your parents and they can view, add, like and leave a spoken comment on a big, simple screen.
Photo frame
Shows an album one big photo at a time. Dims at night, and works on a TV with screen mirroring. There's a photo frame widget for the home screen too.
People
Moa groups photos of the same person for you. Add a name and everyone in the space can see just their photos. Faces are analyzed only on your phones.

Questions
What is Moa?
A shared photo album app for family, friends, couples and groups. Photos and videos keep their full quality and travel encrypted between members, so not even Moa can open them. No sign-up: one invite code brings up to 10 people into a space.
Can a space hold more than 10 people?
A space holds up to 10 people by default. If you need more, contact the operator separately: send a request through Contact in the app’s Settings, and we'll check and raise the limit for that space.
Is it free?
Yes. Creating up to 3 spaces, sending photos phone to phone and the relay server are all free. Moa Plus (₩2,200 a month in Korea) is only for no ads, holding and more than one widget.
Does it work between iPhone and Android?
Yes. iPhone and Android phones share the same album in one space.
When do photos arrive on the free plan?
When your app and the app of a member who has the photo are open at the same time. That member doesn't have to be the sender: anyone who already received it can pass it on. Tapping the new-photo notification opens the app and the photos come in. To deliver even after you close the app, use Plus holding.
Is it easy for older parents?
Yes. Turn on Large view in Settings: text and photos get bigger and only the buttons you need stay. Viewing, adding photos, likes and spoken comments all happen on a big, simple screen.
Does it work when we're far apart?
Yes. Phones connect directly over the internet; if that fails, the server passes the encrypted data along for free.
What if I lose my phone?
Rejoin the space on a new phone and your photos come back from members who have them. Use “Take over from old phone” and, once another member approves, you can edit and delete the albums, photos and comments you made again. A photo nobody else received can't be recovered.
Where do my photos go when I search?
Your photos go nowhere. After a one-time download of the search files, members' phones share the analysis and exchange the results encrypted, only within the space. On iPhone, the words you type are also sent to Apple's map search so you can find places. Phones with less than 3GB of memory get Places instead of photo search.
Does an unused space disappear?
If no member opens a space for 90 days, it's removed. We let members know 30 and 7 days before, and if anyone opens it in the meantime, the 90 days start over. After that, you can still view and save the photos left on your phone in the app.
Does my subscription move to a new phone?
Yes, on the same Apple or Google account.
