Share your first memory: posts, photos and who sees them

Step 1: Open the wall and start a post

1. Tap the Wall tab at the bottom of the app. The wall is where the family’s everyday life and its keepsakes sit side by side.
2. Tap New post. The Create post screen opens.

Step 2: Add the photo and write the names

1. Tap Media and choose one or more photos, or a video, from your phone. They show as big previews straight away and upload in the background while you keep writing.
2. Write who is in the photo, where it was taken and roughly when. That note travels with the photo, so a grandchild opening it in forty years still knows.

Step 3: Choose who sees it

Above the text is Who can see this post, with three choices. The widest is first, and narrowing is a move to the right.

• Everyone — every member of your family space. This is the default.
• Extended family — also grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
• Household — parents, partner and children only.

Kunbaa reads those circles off the family tree, and applies your choice on its servers, everywhere the post can appear — the wall, the Library, comments, reactions — on the phone and the website alike. A relative outside the circle never receives it. Nobody outside your family space sees a post whichever you choose.

Step 4: Post

Tap Post. A post with a photo or video in it is badged a memory drop. The people who can see it get it on their wall; if you narrowed it, they see a small Household or Extended family badge on it.

Where it lives afterwards

• Moments, the first pill at the top of the wall, gathers every memory drop day by day so the things worth keeping do not scroll away under the things worth a smile. Wall beside it is the full conversation, and Me is just what you have shared.
• The Kunbaa tab → Library collects every photo and video the family has posted, by month and by person — the same archive without the conversation around it, and following the same audience rule.

Reacting and commenting

Tap the thumbs-up to react, or the speech bubble to comment. Comments are where the stories come out — “that’s the house on Barrack Street” — so leave them on. A relative who is being unkind can be muted from their profile; you stop seeing their posts, and they are not told.

A tip

Start with twenty photos you actually care about; test photos make the whole thing feel pointless. Most of your family will mostly look, and that is fine — a family space needs three or four people adding things and everyone else receiving.
