About Our Family Socials

Our Family Socials is a private, ad-free social network designed specifically for families to share life events, photos and memories together. Unlike public social media platforms, a new event goes to the family you have approved rather than to the open internet, and there are no algorithms deciding what you see.

Why it exists

We built this platform because existing social networks were not designed for families. They are cluttered with ads, algorithms hide your posts, and your family photos end up mixed with everything else in an endless scroll. Our Family Socials gives families a dedicated space to preserve memories the way they deserve.

Why we are different

  • You choose the audience - a new event goes to the followers you have approved, and you can set any event to Close Family, a custom group such as "close family only", Private (just you) or Public (anyone with the link).
  • No ads, ever - we will never sell your data or show you ads. Your family memories are not a product to be monetised.
  • Rich event pages - photo galleries, detailed stories, multiple locations and GPS-tagged journey maps.
  • Interactive maps and timeline - see your family's adventures on an interactive world map, and watch years of memories unfold chronologically.
  • AI Create (beta) - let AI help draft an event description from your photos, then edit it yourself.
  • Built for families - made by a family, for families. We use this app ourselves to stay connected with our own loved ones.

How it works

  1. Create an account - sign up for free at ourfamilysocials.com. You get a 30-day Pro trial automatically, with up to 5 published events during it.
  2. Follow your family - send follow requests to family members. Once they accept, you see each other's events.
  3. Share life events - create event pages with photos, stories, locations and dates. Choose the audience for each event.
  4. Stay connected - view your family's events in the feed, on the map or in the timeline. Comment, like and engage.
