What is TimeFotos?

TimeFotos is a local social network and city discovery platform. It combines two main layers:

  1. Private social — Your personal feed and profile are visible only to friends and family you connect with. Share posts, photos, and updates with people you know.
  2. Public local discovery — Your city has a public hub where anyone can browse the local marketplace, find businesses, discover events, and explore what’s happening nearby.

What can I do on TimeFotos?

  • Connect with neighbors — Stay in touch with friends and family in your area through a private feed.
  • Use the local marketplace — Post and browse free stuff, wanted ads, items for sale, cars, rentals, pets, jobs, services, and more — all scoped to your city.
  • Discover local businesses — Find and support local shops, services, and professionals.
  • Find events — See what’s happening in your city — garage sales, community events, and more.

Is TimeFotos free?

Yes. Creating an account and browsing your city’s public content is free. Posting in most marketplace categories is also free. Some categories (such as real estate, jobs, or services) may have a small one-time listing fee.

How do I get started?

  1. Sign up at timefotos.com and choose your city.
  2. Complete your profile so people you connect with can recognize you.
  3. Browse your city hub to see local marketplace listings, businesses, and events.
  4. Post a listing or connect with neighbors when you’re ready.
