Why I built this
Made by a dad of three.
Hi, I'm Manuel. When my wife Margo was pregnant with twins, I wanted my parents, who live in another country, to see their grandchildren grow up every day. Not once a year on a visit, and not in a group chat where the photos get lost.
I could not find an app that felt right, so I built one. Our Family Album is private by default, has no ads and shows your photos only to the people you invite. Read the full story.
Thanks for being here,
Manuel

What is Our Family Album?
A private family photo sharing app for iPhone and iPad. Share photos, keep albums, react and comment with the people you invite, and revisit moments in Memories.
Can grandparents view photos without the app?
Version 1.5 adds Share without an app: create a browser link for an album, with no app or account needed to view it. You can create a link for each recipient, add an expiry, or revoke it. Anyone with a working link can view the shared album, so send it only to people you trust.
Is it free?
The free plan includes 10 photo uploads per family each calendar month. Premium adds video uploads and unlimited photos, and one subscription covers the whole family. See the current subscription prices in the App Store.
Does it work on Android?
There is no Android app. Parents create and manage albums on iPhone or iPad. With browser sharing in version 1.5, relatives can view a shared album on Android or a computer.
Who can see our photos?
You choose the family members who can see each album. Browser links give read-only access to anyone holding that link until it expires or you revoke it. There is no public photo feed, no advertising, and your photos and videos are not used to train AI.
