Tinybeans Private Family Album

Private family sharing

Tinybeans Private Family Album is a parenting app for recording children’s photos, videos, and milestones in one private space. Parents can invite selected relatives and friends instead of posting family updates publicly. Invited followers can view posts, react, and comment, making it useful for keeping grandparents and other loved ones involved.

A dated record of growing up

The app helps turn everyday updates into an ongoing family journal. Its milestone tracker covers more than 300 milestones, from the early weeks through age six. A calendar view groups photos, videos, and milestones by date, while themed or date-based albums can gather memories from events such as birthdays, trips, or a particular period of childhood.

Tools for capturing and revisiting memories

Tinybeans includes basic photo editing with text, stickers, filters, and effects. Journal prompts can encourage parents to add context alongside an image, rather than leaving memories as a stream of uncaptioned photos. Daily or weekly recap emails can also give invited family members a summary of recent posts and milestones. The app supports creating photo books from saved photos and captions for a physical keepsake.
