Hello Fun, Meet Forever

Photographer: Sarah Pogorzelski

Our story starts with three regular folks from the Midwest: Chris and Nancy, a married couple with two young sons, and their good pal Mike, who was planning his wedding at the time.

Although we were at different stages in our lives, we all subscribed to the motto "camera diem" and never hesitated to grab our devices to capture every moment, big or small.

We also had a ton of historic family photos we wanted to preserve and share.

Altogether, we were sitting on a stockpile of digital and print photos that no tool, app or technology seemed equipped to help us easily manage, let alone enjoy.

We needed a photo app that could do more for us on all levels. More of the upload work. More of the organization. More to keep our photos safe but also at our fingertips. More to deliver effortless fun now and for generations to come.

At the same time, we also wanted more control. The idea of having a free account was very appealing, but nothing is ever truly free. The last thing we wanted to trade in for unlimited storage was our data privacy or control of our photos.

We decided our mission was to build an app that combined fun with forever by:

  • Doing everything possible to find, upload, tag and sort photos;
  • Letting people explore their photos in endless ways through intuitive and useful views like a location view and a people view;
  • Going beyond basic sharing, letting people jointly add stuff (comments, more photos, etc.) to photo collections they want to build and share with others;
  • Giving people an easier way to add/edit tags to individual or multiple photos;
  • Automatically creating and sending customized memory collections directly to people; and
  • Making metadata easyTM by allowing all the context created by or in MemoryWeb to be exported outside of the app in the form of EXIF and IPTC data.

We called this app MemoryWeb, because we think memories are made not just by pictures but also by the information connecting them. Want to see how? Open a free trial account today and see how we'll bring your digital archive alive, for you, for them, forever.
