Timeline
Photos, home videos and written memories in one dated family view.
Private family archive app
A family archive built by the people who remember
Family memories rarely arrive in one tidy collection. They sit on phones, hard drives, old tapes and in the heads of relatives who remember different parts of the story. Memrial gives those pieces one private home. Add photos, home videos and written memories, place them on a timeline, connect them to people and events, then invite family members to contribute what they know.
Family input
Invite relatives to add names, corrections and the stories you do not know.
Original files
The original upload stays untouched while separate previews make it easy to revisit.
One collection, not one more folder
A hard drive can hold the files. Memrial keeps the explanation with them. Add exact or approximate dates, tag the people involved, group memories around events and albums, and browse the family across one shared timeline.
Bring in the people who know the missing parts
The archive owner chooses who joins. Accepted relatives can upload, comment, react, tag people and add context. Memory Requests, Event Memory Drops and Story Prompts give everyone a clear way to contribute without asking one person to finish the whole archive.
Give the family a reason to return
Watch old home videos together in a synchronised Watch Party, save family favourites as Keepsakes, mark important family dates, or turn an album into a browser-printable Storybook. The archive is built to be revisited, not merely stored.
Private by design
There is no public feed and no advertising audience. Only accepted family members enter the archive. The source files you upload remain untouched; playback copies, thumbnails and optional enhancements are stored separately.
Know what Memrial does—and does not—replace
Memrial is the shared archive your family uses together. It is not your only backup or a complete portable genealogy record. Original downloads are available according to plan access, but a full portable export of dates, comments and Timeline structure is not currently available.
