§ 01How it works

Three small habits, and a tiny archive.

a few minutes
whenever you sit down to it
01step

Swipe through a stretch of your library — keep with one tap.

Pick a stretch — last week, last month, or since a date. Flick up to keep a photo, down to let it go. No photo leaves your phone until you keep it.

You choose every photo
02step

Say a line about it — we tidy your words, never invent them.

Tap the mic and say what happened. We fix the punctuation and drop the ums; the words stay yours. Or type it, or leave it blank.

Your words, tidied · never written for you
03step

Family and friends get it in their inbox.

Only the people you invite can see it. They open their invite, confirm their email from a link we send, and they’re in — no password, no app to install. They react and leave comments.

Invite only · designed for any age
§ 02Features

Three small things, and one small promise.

feat / captureyou choose

A handful, never a dump.

You keep the few that matter from a stretch of your library — one flick each. No more midnight scrolling through 600 burst-mode shots to send the one good frame.

feat / captionsspoken or typed

Captions in your own words.

Say a line about the photo and it becomes the caption, tidied but never invented. So your timeline reads like a story years from now.

feat / familyinvite only

A private page grandparents can actually use.

Only the people you invite can see it. They confirm their email once from a link we send — no password, no app to install.

§ 03What families say

Designed for grandparents. Tested by ours.

I open the link with my coffee. It’s the first thing I do every morning. Three thousand miles away and I haven’t missed a single tooth.

Used to dread the Sunday photo dump. Now bedtime ends with two minutes of swiping, and the grandparents see the week before I’ve put the phone down.

I say one line about the photo on the walk home. My mother reads it the next morning, in my words.

§ 04Get it

The app is small. The archive grows.

Install Small Years on the iPhone that already has your photos. Family and friends view it on the web — there’s nothing for them to download.

Paste the link from your invite email to open it here.
