The story behind Phomo and the cousins who built it.

We’re Elliott Hyde and Brendan Gagner— cousins who grew up just two doors down from each other. From a young age, we were always coming up with ideas, competing, and pushing each other to build something meaningful. That mindset stayed with us through college at Eastern Connecticut State University and Sacred Heart University, where Phomo first started to come to life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about Phomo? We’ve answered some of the most common things users ask so you can understand how the app works, what to expect, and how to get started quickly.

Phomo is a daily photo-sharing app where users match a universal caption with one photo from their camera roll. It’s designed to bring your old memories back to life in a fun and creative way.

Every day, Phomo posts one simple caption. You then scroll through your camera roll and choose a photo that best matches it. You can then share it with others in the community.

No. Phomo is all about using the photos you already have. The goal is to rediscover old memories instead of constantly creating new content.

Most users share funny, nostalgic, or unexpected photos — like old memories, school moments, nights out, or random camera roll gems they forgot existed.

Unlike traditional social media, Phomo isn’t about constant posting or perfection. It’s about revisiting your existing camera roll and turning forgotten photos into meaningful daily moments.
