How to use Pieces

A quick guide to sharing your days with the people closest to you.

1. Create your account

Open Pieces and sign up with your email, Apple ID, or Google account. Choose a display name and a profile photo — these are how your circle will recognize you.

2. Invite your circle

Pieces only shows posts from people you've added. Tap People and send an invite by phone number, email, or a shared link. They'll appear in your feed once they accept.

We recommend keeping your circle small — 3 to 10 close family and friends works best.

3. Share a moment

Tap the camera button to capture a photo or short video. Add a one-line caption if you like, then post. Your moment is shared instantly with everyone in your circle — and only them.

4. See the same day, different views

Open the Today tab to see your circle's posts grouped by date. Swipe through to see everyone's view of the same day — a kitchen breakfast, a walk home, a sleeping dog. That's the heart of Pieces.

5. Look back

Tap any past day to revisit it. Pieces keeps a quiet archive of your shared days, so the small moments aren't lost in a feed that scrolls past forever.

A few tips

• One post a day is plenty. Pieces is designed to feel calm, not full.
• No likes, no follower counts. Reactions are simple and private — a small heart, just between you and the poster.
• Notifications are off by default. Turn them on per person if you'd like a gentle nudge when someone shares.
