See a place through someone else’s walk.
Neighbourhoods is a photographer-first app for sharing local photo walks, finding PhotoPals, and exchanging neighbourhoods — without dating mechanics or follower pressure.

The product
Built like a light table, not a social feed.
Paper, ink, quiet accents. Walks read as sequences. PhotoPals stay private. The screens below are live captures from the SwiftUI mock.
Find PhotoPals
Search a place or go random — connect by alias and broad place, never dating filters.
Messages
Notes and walk replies that open as rapport grows — correspondence, not chatter.
Photo walks
A walk is a small photo essay about a place.
Sequence, light, route, and a field note. Optional camera metadata sits as craft context — never a gate. Phone photographers belong here as much as anyone with a dedicated body.
- Photos in order
- Neighbourhood context
- Caption / field note
- Optional EXIF craft
- Theme response
Weekly rhythm
Themes that pull you outside.
Shared prompts give people a reason to walk, photograph, compare, and connect across neighbourhoods — simple enough for a phone, deep enough for serious craft.
- Black & white
- Rain
- Reflections
- Morning light
- Doorways
- Harbour mist
PhotoPals
Find people through place and pictures.
Meet a PhotoPal by alias and broad place. Exchange walks. Build rapport over time — notes, replies, and shared frames — without swipe mechanics, gender filters, or follower growth pressure.
- Alias + broad place only
- Mutual walk exchange
- Trust grows with correspondence
