A private video moment for two

Send the video. See their face.

Just text them a link. You get the laugh, the gasp, the "oh my goodness." Not just a text back.

The video plays on their screen. Their reaction comes back to you.

The text back. The Beam back.

Same kid. Same grandma. Two very different replies.

Before
An iMessage thread: a video of the kids sent to Mom, answered with two emoji

Two emoji. That was the whole reaction.

After, on Tinfle

Her actual face, the first time she watches.

The video goes out. Their reaction comes back.

The story behind it.

Ruddy, who built Tinfle

Ruddy

Tinfle founder

I'm in Florida. My mom's in North Carolina. My kids are growing up way too fast.

I used to send her videos and get emojis back. Sweet, but I missed her actual face. The real laugh. The teary eyes she tries to hide.

So I built Tinfle. Now I just text her a link. She taps it, taps allow and watches. I get to see her light up like she's there next to me. The best reactions, I keep.

It's just me coding it and it probably has rough edges. But it works for us. If you've got someone far away who's missing in your life, or you're missing in theirs, this one's for you.

Why it's different.

  • For one person

    A private moment, not a public post.

  • No app. No account.

    The link just opens in her browser.

  • Her camera, her call

    She taps Allow, and she decides what to send back.

  • Keep it or let it go.

    Watch their reaction once, save it just for you, or let it vanish. Never public.

Someone you love is waiting.

Your mom, your dad, siblings and the best friend. They don't need to figure anything out. They tap the link, allow the camera, and watch. You get to see their face light up.
