Yesterday's bagel. Skim it, don't savour it.
Summary
LoveCapsule is a family photo app that stores children's memories directly in users' own Google Drive rather than on company servers, giving families full ownership and control over their data. The app focuses on creating an emotional, family-friendly experience with features like adding context to memories, automatic organization by year, inviting loved ones to contribute, and gifting the capsule to children to own forever.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledFamily photo apps store your kids' memories on their servers. We didn't like that.
LoveCapsule is built differently—every memory is stored in your own Google Drive.
That means you own your data, you control access, and your kids' memories don't disappear if an app shuts down.
We've built this around an emotional, family-friendly experience.
Gift the capsule to your kid to own forever.
