You’ve captured some amazing photos of a city, lake, sunset, rock, field…
Now you’re social distancing with a few of your friends and you want to show them your photos. You don’t want to post or email – it’s just an impromptu thing. You could hand them your phone (Yuck! Nooooo!) and tell them to swipe left, (hoping they don’t swipe right). Welcome to Crowbox!
Crow your photos with Crowbox!
Crowbox is for safely sharing your photos when you’re hanging out together. Crowbox lets you show YOUR photos on THEIR iPhones. You control the show – but they see it on their phone. Like an old-fashioned slideshow, except everyone has their own personal screen.
TLDR? How about a whimsical video.
No cloud? No internet? No problem!
Did we mention that Crowbox is completely safe and secure. YOUR photos play directly on THEIR screens – there is no server, or cloud. And that means it works anywhere you have a group of iOS devices together – a driveway, a park, a mountaintop, a socially distanced restaurant. No internet required. No account required. No wifi router required. No username and password required.
