A private family archive
Where your family's story stays alive
Draw your family tree, gather the old photographs from drawers and phones, and write down the stories behind them — before they are forgotten.

A memory
The olive harvest
Every autumn the whole house woke before dawn. Grandfather would hand each of us a basket and say the trees remember who looks after them…

What's inside
Three things, kept together
People, pictures and stories are connected — open a person and you find their photographs and the memories told about them.
An interactive family tree
Add parents, children and spouses and watch the generations take shape. Explore by panning and zooming, or search by name.
An archive of old photographs
Upload photos, note when and where they were taken — even approximately — and tag the relatives who appear in them.
Stories and memories
Write down what you were told and what you remember, in your own language, linked to the people and photos it's about.
How it works
Begin with what you know
Create your family space
Name your archive and add the first few relatives. You don't need exact dates to begin.
Invite the family
Bring in up to nine relatives to add people, photos and memories alongside you.
Share when you're ready
Create a read-only link for the wider family. Revoke it whenever you like.
Privacy
Your family's history belongs to your family
A family archive holds things you wouldn't post publicly. It is built to stay private by default.
Private by default
Photos are stored privately and are only shown to people who are allowed to see them.
A small, known circle
Only the people you invite can add or edit. You stay in control of who is in.
Sharing you can undo
Read-only links can expire or be revoked, and anything you mark private stays hidden.
Someone in your family still remembers
Start with one name and one photograph. The rest will follow.
