Getting started

Sign in, the Albums/Posts/Reels tabs, and your profile.

The SnapFlow iPhone app is your event-day companion: upload from your phone, rate and cull between shots, kick off recognition, share galleries by QR, and post to Instagram — all from the field. Heavier editing still lives on the web.

Sign in iOS app

Open the app and you'll see the Sign in screen — the SnapFlow logo and the tagline "Event photography, on the go."

  • Email and Password — the same credentials you use on the web.
  • Tap Sign in.

The server you're connecting to is shown in small grey text at the bottom; on the standard hosted app that's snap-flow.org.

The iOS sign-in screen

The three tabs

After signing in you land in the main tab bar:

Tab What it's for
Albums Browse your albums, upload, rate, and run recognition. A badge shows photos waiting on proofing.
Posts Compose Instagram posts — standard, tips carousels, AI drafts, and Stories.
Reels Upload finished videos or build reels with AI text overlays.

The three tabs — Albums, Posts, Reels

Your profile

Tap the avatar in the top-left of any tab to open Profile:

  • Your account — email and current plan.
  • Camera FTP — your camera upload host/username, and an Active album picker that chooses which album your camera's FTP uploads land in (pick None to pause uploads).
  • Sign out.

Notifications turn on automatically

The first time you sign in, iOS asks permission to send notifications. With it on, the app quietly refreshes an album when new photos arrive — there's no separate notifications settings screen to configure.
