Fotoloce

Cluster, Homeroom and Tripcast are independent apps built and maintained by a tiny team of people who care about keeping them running for the long term. The company itself is called Fotoloce.

There's no big corporation behind this, and no big name investors. We built Cluster because we wanted a private place to share photos with the people we care about, without the noise and manipulation of social media.

Nothing you upload is automatically shared anywhere. You decide who sees your photos. You own everything you upload. That's the Cluster Promise, and it's baked into our terms of service.

When you buy a subscription or order a photo book, you're directly supporting a small, independent business — and helping us keep the service running for everyone.
