Look What I Have

The photos are the easy part.

Every family has a box of photos nobody can label. The one person who knows who is in them is usually the one person nobody has asked. Look What I Have is a tablet they can pick up on their own and talk to — and their voice is what it keeps.

What it is

A private archive of your family's photos, where each photo can carry stories — someone talking about it, in their own voice, with their face on screen if they want it there.

She taps a photo. She talks. She can draw a circle round a face while she talks, and the circle appears at that moment when anyone plays it back. She can turn the photo over and read out what is written on the back.

Nothing is a form. There is nothing to fill in, nothing to name, and no step she has to finish.

Who it's for

It was built for one 92-year-old woman, and every decision still follows from that.

  • Text is large, always. No small print anywhere she looks.
  • Nothing needs a swipe, a long press, or a steady hand.
  • No password for her. No sign-in, no session to lose.
  • Nothing counts down and nothing nags. No badges, no streaks.

Who looks after it

One person in the family — usually whoever already fixes the wifi — sets it up and keeps it running.

  • The archive lives on a machine your family owns.
  • They decide who can see what, not her.
  • They never read a story she has not shared.

What happens to a story

An hour after she records one it is shared with the family, unless she says to keep it to herself. That hour is the whole of the decision — there is no publish button to find and no setting to understand.

Anyone in the family can then watch it. You can also send one single story to someone outside the family as a link they open in a browser, with no app and no account.

A story is never deleted.

If she deletes one it stops being shown to anyone, immediately. The story itself is kept, and she can bring it back from Stories you deleted — because a voice cannot be recorded again, and a wrong tap should not be able to end it.

Ask for a family archive

There is no sign-up form on this page, and that is deliberate. Every archive belongs to one family and is set up by a person, so that nobody's photos ever land in a shared pool by accident.

Tell us a little about your family and who would be doing the talking, and we will set one up and walk whoever looks after it through the rest.
