Still yours
Originals stay on your device.
Shared photographs use a separate, rendered copy. Precise capture location, original filenames and device identifiers are left out.
For the things that become part of you
Make more of the things you love.
The things you own. What you make with them. Everything they lead to.
Beginning with photography · Made for iPhone and iPad
01 What it is
A home for your things.
And everything around them.
otherthing brings your personal collection, the photographs and experiences it leads to, and people who share your interest into one connected place.
- thing
- The object you own and care about.
- (other)
- What you make, learn, remember and share around it.
02 Why it exists
An interest grows.
Its context gets lost.
Photographs in one app. Notes in another. A useful conversation buried in a chat. The things you care about end up scattered.
Keep the connections, and a collection becomes more than a list of things. It becomes a record of what you do with them.
The thinking behind otherthing One connected record
Thing
The camera you keep reaching for.
Photographs
The frames worth returning to.
Knowledge
The small detail that changed how you see.
People
The conversation that takes it somewhere new.
The context stays with the Thing.
03Inside the app
Start with a camera. See where it takes you.
Log what you own. Keep your photographs connected. Find a useful Conversation or take part in a Session. This is otherthing in practice.
Photography first · Leica owners are the founding cohort.
01Today
A finite home for what matters now.
One recommended Session, your recent photographs and Club activity. It ends. There is nothing to refresh.
02Photos
Every photograph, complete.
Original aspect ratio. Camera and capture details held as context, never as proof. Scopes for All, Yours, Things, Club and Sessions.
03Photo
The story stays with the frame.
Title, sequence, camera, lens and the settings you chose. A shared place if you want one. Nothing precise, nothing you did not add.
04Things
The object, with its story.
A Thing is what you own, separate from the catalogue entry. Purchase and value stay private; photographs and memories connect to it.
05Club
People through the interest.
Sessions from anywhere or in person, and considered Conversations. No follower count as status. No likes as the organising signal.
06You
Participation, not performance.
Your photographs, Sessions and Club contributions over eight weeks. A record you can read, not a score to chase.
Native app captures · demonstration content
04 A wider world
Your interests don’t live
in separate boxes.
The things you own connect to what you make, where you go, what you discover and who you meet. otherthing gives those connections a home.
A different way of seeing.
Where it takes you
A familiar place.
A new perspective.
What you discover
“Try looking at the light
before the subject.”
Who you meet
A new ideaAnother way inSomewhere unexpectedSomething to return toA shared curiosity.
A conversation that stays.
Beginning with photography. The wider world comes next.
Where we’re goingIllustrative connections, with native demonstration photography.
05Built around the thing
Not the algorithm.
Your things, your privacy and the context you choose to share. A few principles that shape the experience.
A Thing, not a listing
The object you own, with its context.
Separate from the catalogue entry. Publicly it is a model, a brand and a type. Purchase and value stay private.
Sessions
Objective-led. Time-bounded.
Anywhere or in person. A Session has a reason and an end.
Organising signal
What we left out.
No follower count as status. No likes as the organising signal. Conversations carry the weight.
Native
iPhone and iPad.
Familiar controls. Room for the photograph. Made for your iPhone and iPad, with iOS 18 or later.
