The person comes first.
Rooted Memories is organised around your family tree. Each person has their own place, and the memories relating to them remain connected to that person rather than disappearing into a folder of unrelated files.
Private family archive
Your family's story should not disappear into a camera roll.
Right now, family memories are spread across phones,
albums and old devices.
Rooted Memories gives them structure.
Each person in your family has their own place, so photographs,
captions and stories remain connected to the people they belong to.
Your family can contribute together and gradually build a private
archive that becomes more meaningful with time.
Founding offer
Free for life for the first 100 families.
Inside Rooted Memories
A serious archive should still feel simple.
Rooted Memories is deliberately straightforward on the surface. Family tree, people, photographs, captions and stories. The structure does the work without getting in the way.
A photograph can survive for generations while the meaning behind it disappears. Rooted Memories keeps the person, the memory and the story together.
Not every family memory needs an audience.
Some moments are worth being preserved without being posted.
Rooted Memories gives your family a private place for the photographs, stories and everyday moments you want to keep close, especially the childhoods unfolding in front of you.
Build their story away from the noise as they grow, until one day you can hand them something: a record of their life, created by your family.
An archive that becomes more valuable as your family adds to it.
At first, Rooted Memories gives your family somewhere clearer to keep photographs and stories.
As the archive grows, each profile begins to form a lasting record of a life, creating a family history that your children and future generations can return to.
Rooted Memories is a digital mantle piece, built to be handed down.
How it works
Start small. Let the archive grow with your family.
01
Build your family tree
Give every person their own place within your private family archive.
02
Add memories
Upload photographs, write captions and keep the context that normally disappears over time.
03
Keep them connected to people
Memories remain organised around the family members they relate to instead of becoming another pile of files.
04
Invite your family
Let relatives contribute their own photographs, captions and memories so the archive grows beyond a single person's collection.
05
Build something that lasts
Over time, individual profiles become richer records of family life and the archive becomes something future generations can understand.
