Memory Keeper StudioThe studio
How it works
A household library you control — not a memories feed you didn’t ask for.
1
Start a household
Create a household and invite the people who should help. Sign-in uses Microsoft Entra External ID, with multi-factor authentication.
2
Bring pictures in
Bulk upload from your computer. Phone photo sync and OneDrive are on the roadmap — they are not live yet.
3
Organize like a scrapbooker
Albums, categories, dates from the photo itself, and tags you control. On Story and Heritage, AI can suggest tags and captions — you can turn that off.
4
Share only what you choose
Send a read-only collection link. Cousins see that set of pictures — not the whole attic.
Not another photo dump
| Typical cloud albums | Memory Keeper Studio |
|---|---|
| Free because ads and training data | You pay; we don’t run ads on your library |
| “Memories” feed you didn’t ask for | You decide what is a story and who sees it |
| Locked to one phone company | Browser first; phones later; household, not a single Apple ID |
| Compress to save their bill | Full-resolution originals |
| Staff tools can often see content | Ops portal is built not to show photo pixels |
| AI is on whether you like it | AI tagging is a plan you choose; you can keep manual |
