Privacy by design
Zero ads. Zero data sharing.
Your child’s face is not training data. We don’t sell, scan, or share it — and there’s no advertiser between you and the people you invite.
Why we built this
Photo apps were never built for grandparents. Yours deserve every photo, in order, with the story attached — not lost in a group chat.
We’re a small team building the journal we wanted for our own families. One private timeline per child, shared with the people you trust, free of the noise that turned photo apps into something else entirely.
Three quiet promises
What we won’t do, on purpose.
Full resolution
Every pixel. No quiet downgrades.
Photos and videos store at the size you took them. Export everything any time, in a single zip. It’s yours.
Quiet by default
No likes economy. No algorithm.
Just chronological, just the people you invited. Hearts and comments are there if you want them — never a leaderboard.
How it works
Three steps. Then it’s mostly just adding photos.
- 01
Make a timeline.
One per child. Add their birthday and we keep age stamped on every moment.
- 02
Invite the family.
Grandparents, godparents, the aunt who actually replies. Everyone sees the full timeline; you stay in control.
- 03
Share moments.
Tap once to add a photo or video. Caption it if you want. We do the boring storage stuff. They get it instantly.
For the people the app is named for
Grandma doesn’t want another login.
One tap from an email she trusts and she’s in. Big, simple cards. The photo first, the chrome way back.
No newsfeed. No popups. Just the kids, in order, in the resolution you took them.
FAQ
The honest answers.
Who can see my photos?
Only the people you invite to a child’s timeline. There’s no public profile, no discovery, no algorithmic anything. You can revoke access at any time, and we delete every photo within 30 days of an account closure.
How is this different from iCloud or Google Photos?
We don’t scan, train on, or sell your photos. There are no ads, ever. And it’s built around chronological per-child timelines that grandparents can actually navigate — not a cloud locker that requires a tutorial.
What happens if I cancel?
You get a full export — original-resolution photos, original-quality videos, captions, and dates — in a zip file. Then your data is fully purged after a 30-day cooling-off window.
How much will it cost?
Pricing is being finalised. Expect a free tier for one child + a small library, and a household subscription for unlimited storage and viewers. We charge a fair price so we never need to charge you with attention. More on pricing →
When can I use it?
iOS first, this year. Android and web shortly after. Email waitlist@showgrandma.com and we’ll let you know when your spot opens — once, no marketing drip.
