Social media isn't private
Even with careful settings, photos get saved, screenshotted and shared beyond the people you meant.
Nestalbum is a private photo album for your family. Photos and videos are encrypted on your phone before they're shared, so only the people you invite can see them. No social media, no ads, no strangers.

The problem
Social media, group chats and cloud albums all have a catch.
Even with careful settings, photos get saved, screenshotted and shared beyond the people you meant.
Photos get compressed and lost between messages. Finding last summer's pictures takes forever.
iCloud Shared Albums aren't covered by Apple's Advanced Data Protection, and few family album apps offer end-to-end encryption.
How it works
Pick the photos and videos you want to share. Nestalbum never needs access to your whole library.
Send a private invitation to grandparents, aunts and uncles. Only the people you invite can join.
Everyone sees a timeline sorted by date and by your child's age, and can leave a comment or a heart.
Encryption
Photos and videos are encrypted on your phone before they're uploaded. Only your family's devices hold the keys to open them.
Every photo is encrypted with AES-256 before it leaves your phone. Our servers only ever store scrambled data.
Each family member's device gets its own key when they join. Remove someone, and they lose access to new photos.
We can't look at your photos, so we can't analyse them, sell them or train AI on them.
