The timeline · sample family

Your family, in order.

Every photo and every story carries a date, exact or approximate: “about 1965”, “the 1970s”, “before 1950”. Here they all sit together by decade, beside the family’s own events.

An open family album with old photographs. Generated image.

Sample family Invented people, stories and photographs, shown to explain the idea. Nothing here is a real family’s record.

Only the family’s own events. The events below are invented: a wedding, a move, a birth. Nothing from the wider world is added to your timeline, except where you choose to.

          Privacy · for every story

          Private by default. Yours to take back.

          Stories are some of the most personal things a family keeps. The rules below apply to every recording, photo and written story, and none of them can be switched off for you.

          Only your family

          A story can be seen only by the people in this family, once they sign in. Nothing is public.

          The speaker says yes first

          Every recording notes that the speaker agreed. The speaker can ask for a part to be cut, or the whole story taken down, at any time.

          Everyone can add

          Everyone in the family can add stories and photos. The person who started the family can undo or delete anything.

          Delete, for real

          When you delete a story or a photo, the file is removed from the server. It isn’t just hidden.
