What it does

Upload any photo, hide it behind numbered masks, and share one link. Players answer a quiz or complete a photo task to lift each mask, until the whole picture is revealed. The original never leaves the server a real reveal, not a blur. Free, no app, no account to play.

secret.pics hides your photo behind numbered masks. Players answer a challenge to lift each one — and race to reveal what’s underneath. Free to play, no app, no account. Pick any photo and cover the parts you want to hide with numbered masks. A quiz question or a photo task guards each mask. Answer it and the mask lifts. Send one link. Players unlock mask by mask until the full picture appears. The full-resolution photo never reaches the browser. Players only ever see flattened composites they’ve earned, mask by mask. Guard each mask with a trivia question, or a real-world photo mission you approve by hand. Optionally ask players for a verified email before they play — build a mailing list…from secret.pics

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers.
