Changelog
What shipped
New features and improvements to Lensdrop, as they land. Updated whenever something worth telling you about ships.
Lensdrop on your phone, properly
Install Lensdrop to your home screen and it now launches like an app, not a browser tab. The notification inbox became a bottom drawer on phones, and a push notice lands the moment your first highlight reel finishes rendering.
Uploads that survive a locked phone
Half of all shoots upload from a phone, so uploads now survive locked screens, page reloads, and network changes. Anything that still dies mid-flight is named in the gallery so you can retry exactly those photos. Web push joined email and the inbox as a notification channel.
Activity, milestones, and the live QR
Every gallery grew an Activity tab: who opened it, when, how many people downloaded, and a world map of where it was seen. Counts are real people, not page loads. Milestones now turn delivery moments into branded share cards, and the live event QR can be downloaded and put on a screen.
Pay when you share, not before
Galleries create and upload instantly, and the price is set from what you actually stored at the moment you share, so there is nothing to size up front. Named sections arrived too: put the ceremony before the reception, and let viewers filter by section.
See how pricing worksCameras connect dependably
Sending straight from a camera over Wi-Fi FTP was reworked end to end: both FTP dialects, explicit TLS, and a weekly synthetic upload that tells us the moment anything breaks. Point a Sony, Canon, Nikon or Fujifilm body at a gallery and shots just land, no laptop on site.
How camera FTP worksThe desktop app learns to cull
Version 0.2.0 turns the desktop uploader into a keyboard-first culling app. On-device AI flags soft frames, closed eyes, and near-duplicates, you rip through on the keys you know from Lightroom, and only the keepers upload. Free with every account, and it updates itself.

The landing page now runs the real client gallery viewer on sample photos, right in your browser. Drop your own photos in, open the lightbox, download a real zip, and see exactly what your clients will see before you sign up.
