One moment. Many perspectives.

Live the moment.
Find your
memories.

PurpleStory explores temporary photo and video sharing around an event. With the camera you already use.

Being prototyped

Your captures, together.

A temporary event.
Memories from every perspective.

01 / The vision

The perspectives of one
moment, together.

An evening, a party, a reunion. The idea is simple: bring an event’s captures together in one place, without making a permanent album.

As you usually do

Your usual camera, your photos and your videos. No new capture camera to fit into your routine.

With your agreement

Automatic sharing is proposed with explicit acceptance. Manual sharing remains accessible.

For the length of an event

A collection lasting 1, 3, 4 or 6 hours. Then a fixed expiration, 72 hours after it closes.

02 / The planned experience

A beginning. A moment.
An end.

The project follows the rhythm of your event. Invitations and the experience with others are still to be built.

  1. A collection window

    Choose 1, 3, 4 or 6 hours. Collection closes at the scheduled time, without an early stop.

  2. Your captures, your choice

    Take photos or videos as usual. Accept the proposed automatic mode or choose manual sharing.

  3. 72 hours after closure

    Access to the event expires at a fixed time. A copy already saved on a phone may remain there.

03 / Prototype status

Being prototyped

Today, we’re building
the foundations.

The first step focuses on iOS: discovering accessible media, preparing original resources and tracking uploads in a persistent queue.

The app is not yet available to download.

Prototype code

An initial iOS foundation

A diagnostic interface, originals and native transfers. Native compilation and iPhone testing still need to be carried out.

To validate

Background work, in real conditions

iOS decides when execution is allowed. Delays vary; regular wake-ups and immediate sharing are not guaranteed.

To build

The experience with others

A shared album, invitations and downloads. Captures of unknown origin still require manual confirmation in the prototype.
