A small home
for your photos.

Get a subdomain in 30 seconds. Bring your own domain when you're ready. Export anytime.
Not a feed.
Not a portfolio.
A journal.
Feeds turn everything into content. Portfolios turn everything into work.
Moments is for the photos you take because you enjoy it.
It feels closer to a personal blog than a social app.
How it works
Make a journal. Post moments. That's it.
Create your journal and make it yours
Pick a name and you get yourname.moments.im instantly. Choose a theme, an accent, your layout. It looks like you from the first minute.
Publish a moment
One image or a small set. High resolution, minimal compression. Add text if you want, or let the photos speak.
Choose what shows up in Community
Share a moment to the community page, or keep it only on your journal. You decide what’s public.
Built small on purpose. Every journal includes the whole core, free for as long as you like.
Photos look right
No forced squares, no heavy UI. Your images in high resolution.
Fast pages
Lightweight, blog-like. Your journal loads in a blink.
Works from your phone
Post from your phone. Browse from your phone. It just works.
RSS included
Follow like it’s 2009. Your journal has a feed out of the box.
Themes and appearance
Quiet themes, your accent, your layout. It looks like yours.
Portable by design
Every export includes your originals, writing, and a static copy of your journal to keep or host.
For the love of it
Somewhere to keep them.
The frames you love most tend to vanish onto an SD card, into a folder you never open again. Here, they finally have a home, and you have a reason to look back.
When you want more
Room to grow, when you want it.
A journal is complete on its own. When it becomes a bigger part of your photographic life, these are the pieces that build around it.
Give your journal its own pages
An about page, a gear list, a way for people to reach you. All in your journal's own style.
Gather moments into collections
A trip, a year, a project. Longer stories, told with moments you already have.

Still early
You'd be one of the first.
Moments is live and working. A small group of photographers have already made it their own.
Each journal looks a little different, because each person set the tone. Have a look around, then add yours.
A note from Peter
Why I built Moments
I'm Peter. I wanted a place to share photos without the whole internet machinery attached.
No posting schedule. No chasing reach. No performance.
Just a small journal on a URL I control, like photos.pego.dev.
If you've been missing that kind of corner of the web, come be early.
PeterPricing
Free to keep. Paid so it can last.
Moments is bootstrapped, with no investors, ads, or data sales. Starter is free for as long as you like. Moments Plus adds more room and more ways to shape your journal, and helps cover the cost of original photo hosting. Your photos and writing remain yours, with a full export that includes a static website on every plan.
Questions
A few things you might be wondering.
Short answers to the common ones. If something's still unclear, just ask. I actually reply.
Still building
It keeps getting quietly better.
Moments is a small project, worked on steadily and out in the open. Here's what's changed lately.
Add moments from the apps you carry
Every journal now speaks Micropub, the open web standard for publishing to your own site. Approve an app once and it can add moments from wherever you are, photographs and field note included.

A website in every export
