Heirloom
Preserve the story behind the things you keep.
A private digital archive for your family's most meaningful objects — and the memories behind them.
Coming to the App StoreWhy Heirloom exists
Every family has a box of things no one can explain anymore.
The ring in the drawer. The clock on the mantel. The quilt in the closet. We know they matter — but the who, the what, and the why fade a little with every passing year.
And when someone passes, the story often goes with them.
How it works
Keep the object and its story together — forever.
Heirloom is a private digital archive where your family photographs each keepsake and records what it is, whose it was, who gave it, and why it matters.
- 01Photograph it — the Filing Cabinet holds photos until someone has time for the story
- 02Tell its story in your own words
- 03Note who it belonged to — and who gave it
- 04Tag the room, the holiday, the year
Your whole family's history, beautifully kept.
Every piece your family adds joins one warm, organized collection. Snap it now, tell the story later — the Filing Cabinet keeps the photos waiting, and the Heirlooms grid shows what's done.
The archive — every piece, and who added it
Sharing, with care
Invite the family — you decide who can do what.
Grandparents can simply enjoy; the family historian can curate. Everything stays private to your family. Belong to more than one? Switch between them — nothing ever crosses over.
Manages the family, invites members, and looks after the plan.
Adds and edits heirlooms & their stories.
Browses and treasures — no risk of changes.
Your family, with roles
More than one family? Switch.
Private by design
Your family's history belongs to your family alone.
Each family's data lives in its own private, secure space. Every request is checked on the server — membership, role, and plan.
Built on a multi-tenant architecture from day one. No shared keys, no shortcuts.
No ads, no data selling — your memories aren't a product.
You decide who's invited and what they can do. Delete your account any time.

The family pays, not the people.
Joining any family is always free. The Keeper who starts a family chooses its plan.

Memories are never deleted. If a plan ever lapses, your family keeps everything and goes read-only above the free limits.
One plan. Whole family.

Who it's for
For families who won't let the stories slip away.
Grandparents passing down provenance. Parents documenting the family home. And especially —
Catalog every wedding gift and the person who gave it — so the crystal bowl is always from Aunt Ruth, not just a bowl.
The Vision
"A hundred years from now, a great-grandchild should be able to hold this ring and know exactly whose it was."
