A private place for the family to gather everything

What you get

• Gather photos, voice notes, and written memories from every family member into one private space, so nothing stays scattered across group chats and email threads.

• Preserve the context behind each photo - who is in it, what was happening, why it mattered - using text, voice, or a 45-second video comment tied directly to that image.

• Invite siblings and relatives by email with admin and member roles, so everyone contributes their part without anyone losing control of the space.

• Share a guest link with a relative who would never sign up for an account, so they can add a story to one photo - and it arrives with a WhatsApp preview they can actually open.

• Search across people, words spoken in recordings, comments, and photo titles to find the one image or story you are looking for without scrolling through everything.

• Access the family space from your phone, install it as an app, and keep adding to it over time - in English or Hebrew, with full right-to-left support.

How it works

You create the family space and invite the people who matter - your siblings, a cousin, whoever has photos or stories to share. You are the admin; they join as members and start adding their own.

Scan or upload whatever photos you have right now - from any phone you can open, or a shoebox of prints. If you are not sure where to begin, scanning a shoebox of old family photos without losing a weekend is a good place to start. You do not need to have everything ready before you start.

Family members add their own voices to what you have gathered: a voice note over a photo, a reaction, a 45-second video of a story they have been meaning to tell. Your brother's written memory. Your aunt's description of the day in the picture.

Relatives who would never create an account - the ones who find any new app one step too far - receive a guest link, add their story to one photo, and are part of it. You are not doing this alone, and you do not need to chase everyone to sign up.

The parts that matter

Privacy and access

Everything in your family space is private - nothing is public, and nobody outside the family can see it. You decide who is an admin and who is a member; both can add and contribute, and you stay in control of the space.

No one else's login needed

You do not need anyone's login credentials to start - you create the space yourself and invite family members to join on their own devices, each adding what they have.

One place for everything

Photos, voice notes, written stories, video reactions, and comments are all stored together on each photo, so the context does not get separated from the image and lost in a folder somewhere.

The relatives who never sign up

A guest link lets someone add a story to one photo without creating an account - which means the family members most likely to have the oldest memories are still part of what you are building.

Start gathering your family's story

Your siblings are still scattered, the messages are still coming in, and there are things people remember right now that will be harder to piece together later. A shared space gives everyone somewhere to put what they have. If this is coming together in the weeks after a loss, our guide to what needs to happen in the first weeks after a parent dies covers what can wait and what cannot.

You can start with whatever is closest to hand. You can add more later. You can invite your siblings whenever you are ready. It also helps to have questions ready to ask the older relatives who still hold the memories nobody else knows to ask about.
