Beta Tester Onboarding

Welcome to Mapages

You've been selected to test Mapages before it launches publicly. This guide will walk you through what the app is, how to use it, what we need from you, and what you get in return.

What is Mapages?

Mapages is a private photo album app built for people who want to preserve family memories in an organised, meaningful way — not just a camera roll dump.

It lets you create beautiful albums divided into chapters, annotate photos with captions and voice notes, share with loved ones through secure links, and experience your memories through a unique flipbook-style viewer.

Think of it as a living family archive — private, personal, and built to last.

Core Features to Explore

Albums & Chapters

Organise memories into albums. Inside each album, create chapters (categories) like 'Childhood', 'Weddings', or 'Holidays'.

Upload Photos

Upload from your device into any album. All photos land in 'Uncategorised' first — you then sort them into chapters.

In-App Camera

Capture moments directly inside Mapages using your phone or laptop camera. No need to leave the app.

Polarise (Highlights)

Star your best photos to mark them as highlights. Polarised photos appear with a special visual style and can be filtered.

Share & Trusted Access

Create share links with expiry dates, passwords, or watermarks. Invite trusted people by email as Viewers or Contributors.
