End-to-end encrypted · Made in Germany

The private place for your memories.

Photos, voice notes and places — kept just for you, or with up to 7 people who matter. Encrypted so nobody else can read them. Not even us.

  1. Summer 24

    Huddle · For the first time

    It started with a holiday.

    Two people, two cities, one holiday together — and the question: where do we keep all of this? The photos, the voice messages, the small moments that are nobody else's business.

    Every app we tried was full of ads, or didn't take privacy all that seriously. So Huddle came about — the app we wanted to use ourselves.

    Privacy · the foundation

    We can't see your memories. Nobody can — except you.

    Everything is encrypted on your devices — with the proven Signal Protocol — before it ever reaches our servers.

    The middle line is live. That noise is all we ever hold — and it never settles into anything readable.

    No feed. No followers. No noise.

    Huddle is not a social network and not a messenger. A huddle starts with just you and grows only as far as you let it: up to 7 people who are genuinely close.

    Because closeness doesn't scale.

    Why not a shared album or a chat?

  5. Always €0

    Free. And honestly so.

    Every feature, free forever — no ads, no catch. The only thing you can ever buy is a little more storage. That's how Huddle stays independent — without ad partners and without investors.

  6. Now

    Your first memory.

    This is where your own chapter begins — free, encrypted, without ads.

A few honest answers.

Is it really end-to-end encrypted?

Yes — with the proven Signal Protocol. Everything is encrypted on your device before it ever reaches us. We never hold the keys.

Who is Huddle for?

For you alone, for couples, families or close circles of friends — a place for what should stay: a memories timeline with albums, photos in original quality and voice messages.

Why a maximum of 7 people?

Because closeness doesn't scale. Real intimacy lives in very small circles — the cap keeps everything quiet and personal.

What does “free” actually mean?

Free means free. Every feature, forever — no ads, no tracking, no data selling. The only thing we ever charge for is optional extra storage.

Can I use Huddle just for myself?

Yes. A huddle with only you in it is a private, encrypted place for your own memories. If you ever want to share, invite someone — everything is already there.

What can I keep in a huddle?

Photos and videos in original quality, voice notes, songs and files, places, plans you tick off by sharing memories, memories that open on a date you choose for as long as you choose, view-once memories, workouts from Apple Health or Health Connect, a mood per memory, albums, and your own colours across the app and its widgets.
