fewer
One frame, every eight hours.
A photo app built on a limit. Each eight-hour cycle you can post exactly one frame — so you choose the one that matters. Your feed is the people you follow, newest first, and nothing else. No ranking, no ads, no numbers to chase.

The cycle
Post once, then stop thinking about it
A new cycle every eight hours, three a day. One photo, or skip it. No streaks to keep and nothing piling up.

Featured
Get seen without playing a game
The cycle's most-liked frames, counted the same way for everyone. Nobody features twice running.
The tally is a plain count of likes inside the cycle. No weighting, no reach, no boost you can buy.

Mostly indigo cycles.
Cycle colour
See your own rhythm
Every frame carries its cycle's colour. A profile grid shows at a glance whether you shoot at the same hour or whenever.
Colour never carries it alone — every dot ships with the cycle it names, for pointers and screen readers both.
Slow view
Look at one photograph
Full screen, tap to advance, no counts beside the picture. It ends rather than looping.
Home
Reach the end, and be done
The people you follow, newest first. No ranking, no infinite scroll — when you have seen it, you are finished.
Privacy
Close the door with one switch
Go private and your frames reach approved followers only. Any single frame can override that either way.
Comments
Keep the conversation small
Anyone can look. Only the people you follow can comment, so the thread stays a smaller room than the photo.
Hear the important part
A comment reaches you now. Likes and follows wait and arrive as one summary per cycle.
Agents
Catch up by asking
Ask Claude what you missed and it tells you, without you opening anything. Let it further in and it posts your frame, answers comments, and clears your follow requests.
Read-only until you say otherwise. An agent sees what you see and nothing more, posts into the same one-frame-per-cycle limit, and one click revokes it.

Put them where you'll see them
A spare tablet becomes a photo frame. A week of your work becomes one image you can hand to someone. Both are links — nothing to install, no account to look.
Turn any screen into a photo frame
Point an e-ink frame, an old tablet, or a TV screensaver at one link. It shows the cycle's Featured work and moves on every fifteen minutes.

Hand someone your week
Twenty-one frames — three a day for seven days — as a single image. Fitted, never cropped, and public frames only, so it looks the same to whoever opens it.
fewer.photos/u/{handle}/sheet.jpg No algorithm. No public counts. No ads. Three frames a day, in the order they happened.

What does it cost?
Nothing, for now — fewer.photos is free while it's young. If that ever changes, it will be said plainly here first.
Do I need an app?
No. fewer.photos is a web app that works in any modern browser, designed for phones first. Sign in with your email — a magic link, no password.
Why one photo every eight hours?
The limit is the design. Three frames a day is enough to share a life and too few to perform one, and a feed with one frame per person per cycle has nothing worth ranking.
Is there an algorithm?
No feed ranking, no personalization, no engagement optimization. Home is chronological and follow-only. Featured is a transparent like tally with fairness rules, the same for everyone.
Who can see my photos?
Your account is public by default: frames appear on your profile and in Discover, and can be selected for Featured. One switch in Settings makes it private, so only followers you approve can see your frames, and any single frame can be pinned public or private on its own. Who you follow and who follows you always stays private to you, and there are no public follower counts anywhere.
Can an AI agent use my account?
Only if you connect one. fewer.photos runs an MCP server, so a client like Claude can read your feed and, if you grant it, post your frame and manage your account. Connections are read-only by default, see exactly what you see and nothing more, and are revocable in one click.
Can I delete my account?
Yes, in Settings — typed confirmation, then your account and every frame, like, and follow are permanently erased.
