Everything you need to write about us: the story, a press note, key facts and logos. Questions? hello@rawly.app
Many photos online today are edited or made by AI, and most carry no label. Detectors that guess are getting less reliable. Rawly takes a different route: there is no upload button.
Every photo and short video on Rawly is taken live with the camera inside the app. There is no gallery picker. Right after the main shot, the other camera takes a second frame, almost at the same moment. It is kept as proof, and other people see it only if the owner chooses.
Every photo shared from Rawly carries a short code. Anyone can type it at rawly.app/verify, with no account, and see Rawly's own copy of the photo and the minute it was taken. It proves when a photo was taken, not who took it, and it only covers photos taken in Rawly.

Rawly is a free photo and video challenge app for iOS and Android. Every day there is something to shoot: RAW NOW, when everyone gets the same notification at a random time and shoots what is in front of them; the Daily Event, one everyday object for everyone; and challenges started by people and brands. The community votes on every entry.
Everything is shot live in the app, with no gallery uploads and no filters, and every shared photo carries a code anyone can check at rawly.app/verify. Your feed is in time order: New and Following show the newest first. Hot is there if you want it. Some challenges carry a real prize pool, funded by the people and brands who start them; actual earnings depend on challenge outcomes. Messages are end-to-end encrypted with the Signal protocol. Rawly is for adults (18+) and is available in eight languages.
