  • Family admin controls who sees what and when
  • Daily Moments — story circles for quick everyday snapshots
  • A smart timeline sorts memories by season and "on this day"

Everyday ease

The Family Feed

Photos, videos and voice memos for your inner circle. One shared family password gets grandparents in without creating an account — convenient on purpose.

  • One shared password for the inner circle
  • No accounts or app installs for viewers
  • Family admins decide what gets shared
  • Encrypted on your device too — convenience without the trade-off
Vault-grade privacy

Vault & Letters

Your originals, documents and future letters are encrypted with AES-256 in your browser before they're uploaded. What reaches our servers is ciphertext.

  • AES-256-GCM, encrypted on your device
  • Unlocked only inside your family's private space
  • Full export any time — it stays yours
Our Privacy Manifesto

Your data is a precious legacy, not a training set.

    We strictly prohibit the use of your private photos or text for LLM or AI generative model training. Ever.

  • Encrypted on Your Device

    Your photos, videos, letters and Vault originals are encrypted with AES-256 in your browser before they're uploaded — our servers store ciphertext, not your pictures.

  • Ad-Free Forever

    We are funded by families, for families. We will never sell your attention to advertisers.
