A private home for the memories that matter
Keep the story behind the photo.
Tellr is a private place for your photos, stories and voices. Add what you remember, share it only with the people you choose, and keep it safe for as long as it matters.
No feed. No followers. No ads. Some things are meant for just us.

“She taught me to shell peas here. I was seven, and I thought it was the best job in the world.”
More than storage
A photo is just the start.
Your phone is full of pictures. What’s missing is what they mean: who’s in them, what was happening, and the voices that could tell you. Tellr keeps all of it together.
- 1
The photo
Add the picture, a video, or both.
- 2
The story behind it
Write down what you remember, in your own words, while you still can.
- 3
Their voice
Record someone telling it. A voice says more than a caption ever could.

Who's in it, and who sees it
Tag the people in the photo, then choose exactly who it's shared with. Later, find everything with Grandma in one tap.
How it works
How a memory gets kept and shared.
Pick an example and watch it happen.
A family recipe, with the stories that come with it.
Rosa's Kitchen
Sunday sauce, and everything that came with it.
Nothing is visible to anyone until you invite them. No followers. No audience.
Why Tellr
Why not just use a photo app?
Apps like Google Photos and iCloud are very good at storing and backing up pictures. Tellr is for the part a folder of photos can’t hold.
A photo app
Great for backing up photos and finding them again. But the story behind each one rarely gets written down, and in a few years nobody remembers it.
Social media
Built to be seen. You post for a crowd, and your photos end up in the same feed as ads and strangers.
Tellr
Built for the people in the picture. Each memory keeps its story, its voice and who it's about, and goes only to the people you choose.
Together
A story is better when everyone tells it.
Invite your family, your partner, your closest friends. Everyone adds what they remember, in their own words, and every memory is placed on the timeline by when it happened, not when it was uploaded.
Years from now, it’s your shared record, written by the people who lived it.

Social media is public.
Tellr is intimate.
Everything you add stays closed until you invite someone. No ads, no feed, and no one watching. We never sell, mine or show your memories to anyone.
Only the people you invite
Every Space is private. There are no public pages, and no one can find you or your memories by searching.
Encrypted
Your words, photos and recordings are encrypted before they're stored, and they can only be opened by the people you've shared them with.
Yours to keep or erase
Download everything whenever you like. Delete your account and your memories are permanently erased.
For later
And for the days ahead.
Some things are worth saving for the right moment.
Messages for later
Write to your kids for their 16th birthday, or record something for a wedding day. Tellr delivers it on the date you choose.
Important documents
Keep the paperwork your family might need in one encrypted place, shared only the way you decide.
You can also leave messages to be delivered after you’ve died. They’re released only when several people you trust confirm it, and you can cancel at any time. See how that works
Start with one photo.
Pick one you love. Write down the story behind it, add a voice recording if you can, and share it with someone who will treasure it. It takes a few minutes.
