YourCelf turns your camera roll into the story of your life, and it does
it entirely on your phone. No account, no cloud, no feed. This is an
early build, so it'll be rough in places. That's exactly what you're here to find.
Get it. Two steps.
On your iPhone, tap the button (or scan the code).
It opens Apple's free TestFlight app (installing it first if you don't
have it) and adds YourCelf.
Scan with your iPhone Camera to open this on your phone.
The invite link is being set up. We'll send it the moment it's live.
Then: open YourCelf, grant Photos, and let the first
scan run: plug in and leave it open on a big library. That's the whole setup.
What to try, in order
Onboard: grant Photos (and Calendar if offered), confirm your home city.
Today: does the resurfaced memory feel right? Is "Up Next" correct?
Story: walk the five lenses: Highlights, People (name a few faces), Places (drill a country → city → a place → its photos), Trips, Timeline.
Make a Circle: open a Story of a real event, tap the people icon, gather who was there, and try sharing.
Capture: scan a document.
The one thing we're really listening for: did it feel like
your life, told honestly? And if anything looks made-up (a wrong name or
place, a moment that feels invented), flag it loudly. We never want the app making
things up.
Good to know
The first scan is slow on a big library; that's expected. Places, Trips, and People keep filling in afterward.
Photos stored only in iCloud may lag; some thumbnails take a moment.
A few areas say "coming soon": that's intentional, not broken.
Sharing is by file for now (AirDrop / Messages), not live.
The writing model is optional: turn it on during setup or in Settings → Writing model for richer prose; without it, a simpler built-in writer still tells your story.
Sending feedback
Two easy ways, both seconds long:
Screenshot the moment in the app, then tap Share Beta Feedback.
Or in the TestFlight app → YourCelf → Send Beta Feedback.
