Kliche or Retro: which one for your photos with friends?
Retro and Kliche start from the same wish: sharing your photos with your real friends rather than with everyone. But they are not for the same moment.

Choose Retro if…
you want a photo journal that lives all year: every week, your friends see what you shared, and the app puts together recaps to send. The whole group needs an iPhone.
Choose Kliche if…
you want a session: back from holiday, one link in the group chat, and everyone watches the same photos at the same time, with each other’s cursors. Nobody installs anything, whatever their phone, and the album is erased after 3 days.
Both together: nothing stops you keeping Retro for everyday life and opening a Kliche album for the holiday photo night.
Try Kliche for your next trip home.
One album, one link, and you watch together.
