The home timeline is the shared feed of the circles you're in — the social half of Keepr, where the archive half is your albums.
What appears there#
Posts from circles you belong to, newest first, with their captions. People can like them and comment on them.
That's the whole model. There's no algorithm choosing what you see, no promoted content and nothing from anyone you're not connected to.
Posting versus uploading#
Worth separating, because they feel similar and aren't.
Uploading adds photos to an album. Everyone who can already reach that album can see them. It's quiet — nothing announces it.
Posting is deliberate: you choose photos, write a caption, and post. It appears in the timeline of the circles it reaches, and they can react to it.
So a year of family photos might be hundreds of uploads and a dozen posts. Uploading is for keeping; posting is for showing.
Who sees a post#
A post can only reach circles that can see its album, because a circle sees a post's photos through the album. Within those, you choose. Wherever you post from (an album, your library, a photo, the page after an upload, or the Ready to share card on your timeline), the circles start ticked and you tap one to leave it out. To reach a circle that isn't listed, share the album with it first.
Leaving a circle out of a post doesn't take the photos out of the album that circle can see, so the post window says so and offers Also hide these photos from that circle, switched on. Photos hidden from a circle also disappear from its posts.
Writing it once#
A post starts from the photos' own memory note, place, milestone and tags, when the photos agree on them, and says so under the caption. Under it, Also save as the photos' memory note writes the post's words back onto the photos, so the same caption is never typed twice. It starts on, and off when the photos already have different notes, so nobody's words are overwritten by accident. Only photos you uploaded are changed.
A memory note and a post are different things: the note is saved on the photos and tells nobody; the post goes to your circles' timeline. Each sheet says which one it is under its title.
If an album is shared with several circles and you want one post to reach all of them, that's what the Keepr Chain is for — and it keeps the conversation in one place rather than splitting it.
Posting what you just uploaded#
An upload doesn't post to your timeline by itself. When one finishes, Keepr offers to help you organise it, and posting is one of the things you can do there: pick the photos worth sharing, write something about them, and post — as many separate posts from one upload as you like. See Organising an upload.
Sharing a whole album#
Rather than posting twenty photos, you can share the album itself. The post shows a preview card — a few pictures and a count — and links through to the album.
Better for "here's the whole holiday" than filling a family's timeline with a hundred separate images.
Milestones#
A post can be marked as a milestone: first steps, a birthday, a first day at school. It gets its own title, the date it actually happened — which may not be the date you posted it — and optionally a place.
The point is findability years later. A milestone stays an event rather than becoming "some photos from March", and you can search for milestones specifically.
You can also pin important ones so they stay near the top of a circle.
Likes and comments#
Both, on posts and on individual photos. Comments can be replied to, so a thread stays readable.
Nothing about engagement is public beyond the circle, and there are no counts shown to anyone outside it.
Hiding a post you'd rather not see#
Tap ⋯ on somebody else's post and choose Hide this post. It disappears from your timeline straight away, on every device, and nobody is told. The post itself is not changed for anyone else, and comments on it still reach you if you took part. Undo is on the message that appears, and Profile → Privacy → Hidden posts lists everything you have hidden, with Unhide. Your own posts have Delete instead.
