Family Moment
"Grandma telling us about her parents and growing up."
Family Stories
Add family stories before theyre lost.
Future Delivery
Time-release memories for milestones.
A private place to share your family's story over time.
The stories in your family don’t disappear all at once.
They fade quietly — unless someone saves them.
“My father recorded a voice note for my son. He’ll hear it on his 18th birthday.”
“My mum passed last year. I wish we’d had this sooner.”
“I never thought I’d cry opening an app. But hearing Dad’s voice again…”
One day, someone you love will wish you’d recorded this.
Voices fade. Details blur. The people who hold your family’s history won’t always be here to tell it.
Most families only realise this when it’s too late.
OurVaults is for the ones who want to do something about it now.
Free to start. No credit card. Takes 30 seconds.
Not everything belongs on social media
Some of your most meaningful memories are personal.
They’re meant for family — not followers.
But when they’re shared in a feed, they’re seen for a moment…
then buried and lost.
Or worse — used in ways you never intended.
Seen once. Gone forever.
Or they’re never seen at all
Photos sit in folders and old feeds.
Boxes, old phones & computers.
Old devices.
No context. No story. No way for anyone to truly understand them. No simple way for people to find them.
If it’s not found, it’s lost.
A private place that gives memories meaning
Keep memories alive & where they belong — with family.
Place every photo in a timeline. Tag members. Add the story behind it.
So it’s easy to find… and impossible to forget.
This is where memories live on.
Takes under 30 seconds. Free to start.
Not everything should be seen today.
Add a message now.Deliver it when it matters most.
A wedding.
An 18th birthday.
A moment you won’t be there for.
*Future delivery available on paid plans.
Take the memories forward
The stories that shaped moments deserve to be kept.
Preserve what you have, add what you can. Pass them forward.
Not just saved. Experienced and revisited when it matters most.
Gift for the Future
These are the moments to come back to
Your voice, your stories — all in one private place.

“Before the family migrated...”

Why OurVaults
Already saving memories across Google Drive, Facebook or WhatsApp?
Here’s what’s missing.
Photos end up in WhatsApp chats. Videos sit in camera rolls. Albums get posted to Facebook. Files go into Google Drive. Trees get traced on Ancestry.
But over time, everything becomes scattered — and none of it captures the meaning behind the moment.
What’s missing
- Memories scattered across apps, folders and feeds
- Impossible to find or follow over time
- No context — who was there, why it mattered
- No voice. No story. Just files.
- Not private. Not built for your family.
With OurVaults
- One private place — organised around your family
- A timeline your family can follow and return to
- Stories, voices and context — not just files
- Invite-only. Never public. Never sold.
- Built to last for future generations
So future generations don’t just see what happened…
they understand who you were.
Photos show moments. Stories carry them forward.
The stories behind the moments... The stories behind the memories... Saved and shared privately.
Stories & Voices
Because voices are what people miss most.
Your Family Story
Not folders. A story your family can follow.
Life Events
Milestones, celebrations, and everyday moments.
Built for Family
Not followers. Not the public. Just your people.
This is the private space your family will come back to.
Capture what matters today. Share, contribute, reflect... Pass it forward for generations.
Start something… your family will discover for years to come
Share a private moment with someone in your vault
Not publicly. Invite-only. Just between you

Frequently asked questions
Why not just use Google Drive, Facebook, or Ancestry?
Those platforms store files or track family trees.
They don’t preserve the meaning behind the moments.
OurVaults brings memories, stories, and people together in one private place your family can actually follow.
This is about building a structured, living history your family can follow, understand, and return to over time.
A timeline. A story. A way for future generations to actually experience your family,
Can my family contribute?
Yes. You control who can do what.
Admins manage and organise.
Contributors add memories, stories, and media.
View-only members can explore and reflect.
Your family builds this together.
Is this like a family-only social media platform?
Not really because it's never publicly shared. You can comment, add to memories, and interact.
But this isn't built for attention or feeds.
It's built to preserve your family's story in a way that is private and actually lasts.
Why not just create a private Facebook group?
Facebook is built for sharing in the moment, not for preserving a structured family history.
Content gets buried. Algorithms decide what's seen. Over time, things get lost.
OurVaults is designed specifically to organise your family's story, keep it private, and carry it forward for generations.
Can I create messages for the future?
Yes. You can record messages today and choose when they're delivered.
A birthday. A milestone. A moment that will matter.
What happens when the account holder passes?
OurVaults includes a Dead Man's Switch feature that supports succession of account admin access, so your family can continue managing the vault when needed.
Who can see our memories?
Only members you invite into your vault. OurVaults is private by design and does not expose content publicly.
Can scheduled messages be to 1 person?
Yes. On the Legacy Guardian tier you can choose a specific recipient, and they can be notified by email that they have a message.
Do you run ads or sell family data?
No. OurVaults does not use advertising to monetize your family content.
Can multiple family members contribute?
Yes. You can invite members and assign permissions so trusted people can add or view memories.
Can we change plans later?
Yes. You can move between plans as your family needs evolve.
What files can we upload?
Supported uploads include images, PDF files, and on supported plans, audio/video files. You can also create private articles in OurVaults. (even pass forwward family recipes!)
Start with one memory today.
Your family will build the rest with you.
