How it works
Simple enough for Grandma.
Built to last longer than all of us.
Six steps, and most families are done with the first three in an evening.
- 1
Start an archive for your family
Sign up free and create a family space — for your family, a couple, a grandparent's life, or just you. You choose what's shared by default.
- — No card needed
- — As many spaces as you like
- — Private from the first click
- 2
Invite the people who belong
Send an invitation by email or a link. Each person gets a role: family members can add and organise, viewers can simply look.
- — Roles you can change any time
- — Remove someone and their access ends at once
- — Private memories stay private — even from admins
- 3
Add what you have
Photos and videos from phones and computers, scans of old prints, voice recordings, written memories. Originals are kept exactly as they were.
- — Drag and drop, or straight from the camera roll
- — Uploads resume after a bad connection
- — Approximate dates like “Summer 1978”
- 4
Name the people, tell the stories
Tag who's in each photo, or turn on face recognition to get suggestions. Add captions, record the story behind a picture, or build a story from an album.
- — Relationships: parents, cousins, in-laws, friends
- — Transcribed recordings are searchable
- — A writing helper, if you want one
- 5
Find anything, years later
Search by name, place, year, album, event or words in a caption. Browse a timeline of your family's life. With Premium, ask questions in plain words.
- — “Grandpa 1986”
- — “Everyone around the campfire”
- — “What happened at the reunion?”
- 6
Keep it forever — on your terms
Download any original, or export the whole archive in one ZIP with every caption, date and name. Name legacy contacts for the day you can't look after it yourself.
- — Exports are always free
- — Files open without us
- — Nothing is deleted when a plan ends
