What Famileze does
Eleven reasons
you'll love Famileze.
Packed with features you'll love — finally, a home organiser that also curates your most precious memories, all rolled into one easy-to-use experience.
Why families love Famileze
Before Famileze, everything was spread across different apps.
Now it's all in one place.
One home for all your family's needs, packed with features you won't be able to live without. Easy to use, easy to curate — and even easier to search.
Photos scattered across different phones and apps.
Famileze is your family's central hub, synced across your devices. Adding older memories is easy too — so the archive builds over time, not just from today.
Mum and dad on different schedules.
Get your family in sync with a shared calendar, to-dos and lists. Update once — it updates on every device.
Not everything belongs on social media.
Lay out the month's moments as a family newsletter for your closest circle. You choose what gets sent out — and who it goes to. It lands in their inbox, not on a feed.
Emails from schools are never-ending.
Forward them to your family's Famileze address and Famileze suggests what belongs on the calendar — you add what's relevant in a tap, with no re-typing into another app.
Things can change quickly.
Change them just as quickly with the smart calendar. Hold and drag an event to a new time or day, or bump it to tomorrow or next week at a tap. Add by voice or by typing — synced across your devices.
Can't think what to get him for Father's Day?
Keep a Wishlist for every family member — the things and experiences they actually want, with the link pasted right there so you know exactly what they mean. Tick off what's been bought.
The recipes that only live in your head.
Write one down and Famileze lays it out as a recipe card you can read, share, print and pass on to your children. Email one to your family address — a friend's, or your own — and it is recognised on arrival, ingredients and method already in place, and offered straight to your recipe book.
You're feeding data centres.
Your free apps are most likely training AI on your data. When you're ready, bring your photos home: the free desktop app for Mac walks the whole archive onto a computer you own — we show you how — and it stays easy to navigate in Famileze. Synced across both parents' phones and computers, so a lost copy can be recovered; add an external drive and it holds as much as the drive does.
Why it matters
An archive,
not content.
Not every photo belongs on social media. Your children's childhood is an archive, not content — keep it privately as they grow, somewhere it isn't rated, ranked or resurfaced. And when you share it, send it to the handful of people who genuinely care: grandparents, godparents, the aunt overseas. Not the whole internet, and not the AI scrapers combing it.
A childhood nobody deliberately keeps does not survive. Phones are lost, apps shut down, accounts are forgotten — and ten years of a family goes quietly with them. Famileze is the place that holds it: encrypted on your phone before it leaves, scrambled where we store it, and we hold no key. So that in twenty years there is still something to hand over.
Security
We can't read it.
Neither can anyone else.
Encrypted on your device
Family content is encrypted with AES-256-GCM on your own device before it is uploaded. The key is generated on-device and never reaches our servers.
No key held, no back door
What we store is ciphertext. We cannot read it, search it, or hand it to anyone. There is no master key and no back door, and we will not build one.
No analytics, no AI, no training
No tracking software of any kind, and no cloud AI. Family content is never used to train any model — and we couldn't even if we wanted to, because we cannot read it.
You decide who can delete what
The subscriber is the admin, and only the admin can delete a photo or a folder once it is more than 24 hours old. Day to day a co-parent shares everything — calendar, lists and to-dos are theirs to add, change and clear, and they can remove a moment they added in the last day. Nobody's history can be wiped in a bad week.
Famileze is the family archive that doesn't read your family.
The full story — including the three things that can't be end-to-end encryptedWhat's on the market
Famileze is emerging
as the market leader.
With our commitment to privacy baked into the software, Famileze is the only organiser you can trust to keep your data safe — even we can't see it. No other app can say that. Rest assured, your most cherished moments are yours to keep and pass on — and you choose what is shared outside your hub, via the newsletters you send.

How it works
Three simple paths.
All of them end with you owning it.
Start on the phone
Download the app and you have 50 GB of private encrypted cloud — years' worth of memories for most families. Your co-parent joins from their own phone, and that is the whole product: a family that never installs anything else has all of it.
As the archive grows
Move up to 250 GB, or add the free desktop companion and let your own hard drive hold the originals — there is no ceiling to reach. Either way both parents can run a computer and a phone, all four in step. The desktop asks one small habit back: open Famileze there about once a week, so waiting originals come home while they are still there to collect.
Or take both
Room on demand and a copy you hold yourself. That is when the rest of your life can come in: years of photos exported from Google Photos, Snapchat or an old hard drive, filed by date and event as they land — we show you how. Your data belongs to you, and to nobody else.
The free desktop companion
When you're ready,
bring it home.
Free, optional, and never required. One download, one code, and it walks the entire archive onto a computer your family owns.
Where the rest of your life comes in
Years of photos exported from Google Photos, Snapchat or an old hard drive, filed by date and event as they land. The phone is for what happens next; the desktop is where everything that already happened arrives.
The same Famileze, with the whole history in it
You keep navigating it through Famileze — the same timeline, folders, calendar and search, with your entire history in it rather than the recent slice a phone holds.
Permanent
Ordinary photo and text files the family can open, move, copy to an external drive or hand to anyone — with or without Famileze. It holds as much as your own hard drive allows. Nothing is locked inside an app.
One small habit. Open Famileze on that computer about once a week — that is when waiting originals and school emails come home to the archive. On 50 GB it is also what keeps your cloud clear, so the weekly rhythm earns its keep; on 250 GB there is room to spare and you can sync whenever you want a fresh copy on your own drive. A fortnight is the outer edge, not the target: past it the oldest waiting items have expired, and the computer comes back needing a full copy rather than a quick catch-up.
Mac today. It doesn't use up the co-parent seat, and it runs the bigger jobs — bulk imports, backing everything up to an external drive, fine-grained folder sharing.
Almost here
Famileze arrives on the App Store shortly.

Leave your email and we'll tell you the moment it's live — and the moment the free desktop companion is ready for your family. Windows and Android are coming too; the waitlist hears first.
