And the ones who feel it most are the ones with the most time on their hands.
News gets lostIt lives in six group chats, and Grandpa isn't in any of them. He hears about the baby three weeks late.
One person carries it allSomeone always ends up making every call, planning every holiday, and driving to every appointment.
Get-togethers fall apartFifty texts to pick a date, three people bring potato salad, and nobody remembered to pick up Aunt June.
Memories that find you.
The app turns your family's photos into short films: this day five years ago, every Thanksgiving together, Lily's first year. And you can write a letter today that opens on a grandchild's 18th birthday.
- “On this day” memories from the whole family's photos
- Short films made for you, set to music
- Time capsule letters, delivered on the date you choose

Family Sharing stops at six. Your family doesn't.
Your phone's family features were built for one household. Familiar Faces is built for all of them: both sides, every branch, and the cousins you only see at weddings.
Share it once. Everyone hears.
Post a photo or a bit of news, and it reaches the whole family the way each person likes to get it. Nobody has to be on social media, and nobody gets forgotten off a group chat.
- The app for anyone who wants it
- A plain text message or email for anyone who doesn't
- A printed family paper in the mail each month, with everyone's photos and news
- Grandparents can reply by text, and it shows up for everyone

Family chat that isn't chaos.
One noisy group chat becomes tidy threads: just your household, Mom's side, the cousins, or the whole family. Everyone is in the right ones automatically, because the app knows how you're related.
- Threads for each household and branch, made for you
- Mute a thread without leaving the family
- Grandparents can join by plain text message

Same. I'll pick up Aunt June on the way.
Walt, by textSave me a drumstick.
Know they're on the way, and that they got home.
On the day of a get-together, see who's on their way right on your Lock Screen. After a long drive or a flight, everyone gets a quiet "home safe" with one tap. No location sharing all day, just the moments that matter.
- Live arrival times on the Lock Screen on event days
- One-tap "home safe" to the people you choose
- Location is shared only when you turn it on, and switches off by itself
Wish lists, and a Secret Santa that draws itself.
Everyone keeps a wish list, so gifts are something they actually want. You can see what's been bought, but they can't. In December, draw names for the whole family in one tap, with spouses kept apart.
- Wish lists for every birthday and holiday, kids included
- Mark a gift as bought without spoiling the surprise
- Secret Santa with a spending limit and smart rules

Sunday digest
A short recap of the family's week, for anyone who doesn't check the app every day.
And everything else a family needs.
Everyone's details, always current
Addresses, phone numbers and birthdays, kept up to date by each person themselves.
A family tree drawn for you
Add people as you go and the tree draws itself. Great for the kids, and for in-laws.
"How are we related?"
Tap any two people to see exactly how they connect. Second cousin once removed, explained.
Stories in their own voice
Ask Grandpa a question. He answers out loud, and the family keeps his voice forever.
Shared albums
Every gathering's photos in one place, with faces tagged so you can find them later.
Holiday cards, done
Every household's address in one list. Print labels or export them in a tap.
Built so Grandma can actually use it.
Most family apps quietly leave out the people who'd love them most. We designed for them first.
- No passwordsA family member sets her up. She just opens it.
- Big, clear textLarge type and simple buttons, everywhere.
- Works without the appTexts, email, or the printed paper. Her choice.
- Help is one tap away"Ask the family" sends a message to whoever's on today.
Your family isn't the product.

Questions families ask
Does everyone in the family need the app?
No. Anyone can follow along by text message or email, and grandparents can get a printed paper in the mail. Only the people who want the app need it.
Who pays?
One person can pay for a branch or the whole family, and everyone it covers gets the upgrade. Most families never need to pay at all.
Is it only for big families?
Not at all. A family of four looking after one grandparent gets just as much out of the care rota and the shared feed as a reunion of eighty.
Who can see what we share?
Only the family members you invite. Nothing is public, nothing is used for ads, and you can download or delete everything at any time.
Is it on Android?
iPhone first. Android is next. Family members on Android can already follow along by text or email.
Bring your family back together this week.
It takes five minutes to set up, and it's free for everyone you invite.
