Hold the Spotlight
The lit photo with the most keeps takes the Spotlight and sits on top of everyone’s Feed for at least an hour, until a photo with more keeps passes it. Its owner can add a short note, checked before it shows.
A photo app with a clock
Every photo gets 3 hours.
Share one photo. It’s safe for 3 hours, then it stays lit while more people keep it than let it fade. The most-kept photo takes the Spotlight for at least an hour.

An example photo on LastLit in its first 3 hours, protected, with the time left on the clock and Keep and Fade buttons.
How it works
One photo’s life, in five moments.
- 0:00:00
You share one photo.
One at a time. The moment it’s out there, it’s safe for 3 hours: it can’t fade, whatever the votes.
- 1:20:00
People decide.
People see it in their Feed and tap Keep or Fade, once each. Nobody else sees the score until they’ve voted. You see yours live.
- 3:00:00
Kept? It stays lit.
More keeps than fades when its 3 hours are up, and it’s kept. Nothing resets: every vote so far still counts.
- every vote
It stays while it’s ahead.
From then on every vote counts on the whole score. As long as keeps stay ahead of fades, it stays lit, for days if people keep it.
- 7:00:00
Or it fades.
The moment fades catch up, a tie included, it fades for good. No votes by its 3-hour mark, and it fades too. Then you can share your next one.
How long it lasts
Safe for 3 hours. Then it’s up to people.
Nothing can fade a photo in its first 3 hours. After that it stays lit while keeps stay ahead of fades, with no limit, and fades for good the moment they catch up. Stay lit 12 hours and it can make Legends.
The Wall
Everything lit, right now.
Browse what’s burning longest and what’s new. A ring shows how much of a photo’s safe 3 hours is left.
Examples of photos on the Wall, each with how long it has been lit, and a ring on the ones still in their safe 3 hours.
Spotlight & Legends
The most-kept gets the stage.
Become a Legend
Twelve hours lit qualifies a photo for Legends: the longest-lit of today, this week and all time, one photo per person. You can take yours off anytime.
Your taste
See how good your eye is.
Activity tells you when your photo is kept, when the Spotlight changes, and what share of the photos you kept this week stayed lit.
Light and dark
Made for the night. Fine by day.
Follow your phone or pick a side. Full-screen photos always sit on black, so they look their best either way.

Built to be fair, and kind.
18+ only
Everyone gives their date of birth when they join.
Report and block
Report a photo or block someone from the menu on any photo.
Notes are reviewed
Spotlight notes are reviewed before they show.
Delete anytime
Delete a photo and it fades at once. Delete your account in Settings and your photos and votes go with it.
Questions
Good to know.
What happens when my photo fades?
It leaves the Feed and the Wall, and you can share a new one. It stays in your own history. If it stayed lit 12 hours or more, it may stay in Legends, and you can take it off there.
Who sees my photo?
Anyone on LastLit except people you’ve blocked or who’ve blocked you: in the Feed and on the Wall while it’s lit, and in Legends if it gets there. If you share a card, anyone with its link sees it too.
Why can’t I see the score first?
So every vote is your own call. You see the keeps and fades right after you vote.
Why 18+?
LastLit is a public space where strangers judge photos. We keep it for adults.
How do I delete my account?
Settings, then Delete account. Your photos and votes go with it.
