Share baby photos, family videos, and everyday moments with only the people you choose. No social media. No strangers. No algorithms. Just your family.
Free to start · No credit card needed
A private album designed around how real families share — not how tech companies want you to.
Every memory lands in a beautiful, auto-sorted timeline — organised by when it was taken, not when it was uploaded. Browse by month, filter by year, and relive your family's story in order.
No public profiles. No discovery features. No strangers. You choose exactly who sees your photos — and you can assign roles like viewer, contributor, or co-host so everyone has the right level of access.
Send a private link or share code. No complicated setup, no app-store confusion. Grandparents, aunts, uncles — anyone you choose can join and start seeing family photos instantly.
Leave a heart on a photo you love. Add a gentle comment. Small moments of connection without the pressure of social media.
Review photos and videos before they go live. You stay in control of what appears in your family's album.
A baby album for year one. A family album everyone adds to. A space just for grandparents. Create as many as you need.
Upload photos and videos from your library or take them in the moment. Everything in one calm, organised place.
Get notified when someone adds a new memory. Never miss a moment — even when you're busy.
No passwords to remember. Sign in with a magic link, Google, or Apple — simple and secure.
Setting up your family's private album is as easy as 1-2-3.
Sign up free, name your album, and you're ready. No credit card, no complicated setup.
Send a private link or share code to grandparents, aunts, your partner — anyone you choose.
Upload photos and videos, leave hearts and comments, and watch your family's story grow.
Built for private family sharing from the ground up — not bolted on as an afterthought.

Here's what families are saying about OurPlace.
"Finally, a place where I can share photos of my baby without posting them on social media. My parents love it — they check it every day."
"We live in different countries but OurPlace makes us feel so close. Seeing my grandchildren's photos with comments from everyone warms my heart."
"So much better than a WhatsApp group. Everything's organised, the photos look beautiful, and I don't have to scroll past 100 messages to find one picture."

Only the people you personally invite to your space. There are no public profiles, no discovery features, and no way for strangers to find or see your photos. Every space is completely private and invite-only.
OurPlace is built specifically for families sharing memories together. Unlike cloud storage services, OurPlace gives you invite-only spaces, role-based permissions (viewer, contributor, co-host), comments, reactions, and a beautiful timeline view. Plus, there are no ads, no algorithms, and no data mining.

Your photos are always yours. You can download them at any time from the app. If you downgrade from a paid plan, your existing photos remain safe — you just won't be able to upload beyond the free tier limit until you upgrade again.
