Mary Ellen Heinen April 4, 2019

Timebox Photo Galleries, the innovative new 3D/AR version of the Timebox Photo Journal app, is now available on the iOS App Store for iPads and iPhones.

Explore

Explore your Galleries by "walking around" the 3D scenes in Timebox using the normal iOS gestures to pan and pinch zoom.

Once you’ve given Timebox permission to access your Photos, the powerful TIMEBOX ENGINE automatically creates long-lasting daily Photo Stories from your 1000s of full-fidelity photos, videos and Live Photos in your iOS Photo Library.

It presents them on addicting TIMELINES, MAPS and ACTIVE PHOTO FRAMES in your Photo Library Gallery.

As long as you have Location Services turned on pins will also appear on the GLOBE. Add your stories, captions and tags. Make stitched together movies from a selections of Photo Stories and more.

Timebox Grid and Map Timelines are searchable, scrollable presentations of your Photo Stories organized by day.

They can be customized to show only a particular date, range of dates, trip or person for example and added to any room or Gallery.

Timebox Group Galleries

Timebox Group Galleries are designed specifically for groups of people who want to PRIVATELY combine their photos, videos, Live Photos and stories.

PERSONALIZE the interior and exterior of your Group Gallery. Easily add the Photo Stories that everyone keeps asking you to share. Invite the people you want to visit your Gallery so they “walk around" and add their own Photo Stories to yours creating a long-lasting shared memory. Perfect for:

  • Family Stories

  • Group Travelogues

  • Birthdays

  • Team Galleries

  • Events

  • Memorials

  • Group Projects

People you invite can make changes but you can change their permissions to view only on a person-by-person basis.

The Timebox Photo Galleries app is iOS only but people without iOS devices can view your Galleries but not collaborate using the timebox.co web app.

Active Photo Frames

Active Photo Frames are fun new way to play your Photo Stories as slideshows anywhere in your Galleries.

Choose from multiple frame shapes, finishes and colors including televisions and easels.

Select individual or multiple Photo Stories to add to the frame along with a number of options including Repeat (slideshow mode).


 

Augmented Reality

AR is another fun way to further explore your Timebox 3D Galleries. it’s easy, just tap the AR button, hold up your device and look around.

TIMEBOX PHOTO GALLERIES 2D

If your iOS device does not meet the minimum requirements for the Timebox Photo Galleries app you will see the 2D version and not the 3D/AR version.

The 2D version of Timebox provides the same privacy and collaboration features that the 3D/AR version provides so that you and your family and groups can PRIVATELY combine, organize, explore and enjoy all the photos and stories of the things you do together.

The 2D version will look very familiar to our Timebox 5.x customers with one huge addition of the Map Timeline. Now you can see all your stories on a scrollable, searchable Map. We hope you like it.

 

Privacy

Please note: None of the data in the Timebox app is ever retained by or visible to our company, Pepper Networks, LLC. All of the data that's in the Timebox app is either on your own device (iPhone or iPad) or in your own personal iCloud account. In other words, it’s only ever visible to you or people that you invite to share your data (i.e., to a group gallery). As always, no extra sign ups, accounts, passwords or subscriptions. No uploading (except when adding to a Group Gallery). No ads.

Thank you

Thank you to the Timebox community and all the people who helped us make Timebox Photos Galleries a better app. We couldn’t have done it without you. Please let us know if you have any suggestions, questions or comments about the new version.

We’re already working on 6.1 and more 3D models.

Enjoy!
