Family Memory App
Photos, voice notes and stories kept, with the names, the place and roughly when written in the caption — and a real family tree that records how everyone connects.
Frequently asked questions
What can I store in the family memory app?
Photos, videos, documents, recipes, voice notes and family stories — each kept with the people, date and event that explain why it matters.
How is this different from Google Photos or a shared album?
Photo apps organize by face, album or date and leave the meaning out; Kunbaa keeps a real family tree — who each person is, how they are related, their birthdays — beside a private archive with the names, the place and roughly when in each caption.
Can I add several photos to one memory?
Yes. Multi-photo posts lay out as a collage grid, so a trip stays in a single memory.
Is my family media private?
Yes. Media lives inside your invite-only family space — no ads, your family's data never sold, nobody outside the family sees anything.
How much does it cost?
Everyone joins free, with room to build the tree and start the photos. Kunbaa Plus, $15.99 a month or $159.99 a year (17% less, about $13 a month for the whole family), keeps longer videos, room for the whole family's archive, and the photos and videos from the family chat; one person pays, on kunbaa.com, and everyone else is covered.
The context is the memory
A photo becomes useless once nobody remembers who is in it, where, or why it mattered; in Kunbaa you write that into the caption the day it goes up.
And because a real family tree sits beside the archive, “who is she to us?” is recorded too.
Fill in the names while you still can
The people who remember the 1970s photos won't be reachable forever. Ask relatives to add names, captions, pronunciations and stories to the memories they know best, before the details fade.
The archive, in depth
One page per feature, with what it does today and the honest limits.
Family memory app story
Who is that, and when was it?
That is the question a family archive has to answer, and most cannot, because nobody wrote it down. In Kunbaa you write it down as you go — the names, the place and roughly when, in the caption, on the profile of the relative who shared it.
Photo apps know a face keeps recurring; they do not know she is your mother, let alone your wife’s father’s sister. Kunbaa keeps a real family tree beside the archive — who everyone is, how they connect, everyone’s birthdays — so the archive is still understandable forty years on.
Why the group chat is not an archive
Chats are for talking, not keeping: photos and videos sent through messaging apps are compressed substantially, and chat media can expire from the servers, so re-downloading an old photo can fail if the sender no longer has the original. Let the group carry the talking; give the originals a home.
What the archive actually holds
- Upload photos, videos, documents, recipes, voice notes and written stories from your phone or the web.
- Ask relatives to add names and missing details while the people who remember are easy to reach.
- The archive sits beside the family tree, the wall and events, in one private place.
Honest storage, honest pricing
Every family starts free with a shared starter allowance — enough to begin, not enough for a real family archive. Kunbaa Plus at $15.99/mo or $159.99/yr buys the room for the scanned albums, the wedding videos and the voice notes; one person pays, everyone else joins free. Starting from scratch? Begin with the tree — how to build a family tree — then add photos and stories. For everyday photos see private family photo sharing; for this week's moments, capturing family moments.
