Shared albums
Bring the whole family in.

Three steps, then it just works
1
Add your memories
Bring in photos, videos, and documents from your phone — or the box you just had digitized.
2
Let the AI organize and find them
Mems reads what's inside so you can search by people, places, and moments.
3
Share with the people who were there
Invite family into shared albums and relive it all together.
It's not just storage. It's the feeling of reliving a moment you thought was lost.
Questions, answered
- Yes. Private by default. Your memories are yours — we don't sell your data, and we don't run ads. You choose exactly who you invite into a shared album, and you can remove them just as easily.
- The directory helps you find local and online companies that convert old physical formats to digital: VHS and DVD, film reels, slides, cassette tapes, printed photos, and more. Listings are third-party businesses — Mems helps you find them, but the digitizing work is done by them.
- That's the point. Everything lives in one private place that you control, protected by encryption. Nothing is public, and nothing is shared unless you decide to share it.
- The AI reads what's actually in your photos, videos, and documents — people, places, moments — so you can find things by describing them instead of scrolling for an hour. Ask for "grandma's kitchen" and it finds grandma's kitchen.
- You can start for free. Details on plans and storage live in the app — begin with one memory, no rush.
- Mems is a mobile app, available on the App Store and Google Play for iPhone and Android.
