Made for families
Everything your family wants, nothing they don't.
A warm, simple place to keep every photo and video of your little one, shared only with the family you invite.
Private by invite only
Choose which family members can see each album. If you create a browser link, anyone holding that active link can view the album, so send it privately.

Pick a few photos, write a caption, and share it once. Everyone you invited sees the whole story right away.
Albums for every chapter
Keep summers, birthdays, and everyday life in their own shared albums, each with exactly the family members you choose.
Reactions and comments
Family can react to every post with a tap and leave a sweet comment. Little moments become little conversations.
Memories, made for you
The app gathers your best months into highlight reels, so one year later the good days come right back.
Never miss a moment
Gentle notifications tell the family when new photos land, someone joins, or a comment arrives.
Why we built this
Made by a parent, for families like yours.
We wanted one calm place to share our daughter's first year with the grandparents, without posting her on social media or losing every photo in a group chat. Nothing felt right, so we built it.
Our Family Album is that place: private by default, warm to use, and shared only with the people you love. No ads, no strangers, no noise. Just your family, growing up together.
With love,
The Our Family Album team

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 20 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.
