It just
means more.
Heirloom is a private archive for the photographs that actually matter — and a daily habit for finding them.
Invitations open in waves.
Two minutes a day, not a weekend of admin.
Most of us carry tens of thousands of photographs and look at almost none of them. Sorting a camera roll from the beginning is a job nobody finishes, so nobody starts.
Heirloom shows you one date at a time — today's date, across every year you've had a phone. Ten photos, or forty. You make a call on each one and you're done until tomorrow.
Today's date, across nine years.
One of these, on every photo.
Clear
Duplicates, screenshots, the blurry ones. Off your phone for good, and you get the space back.
Leave it
Not now. It stays exactly where it is, and it comes back around another year.
Add to Heirloom
The ones you'd want in twenty years. Kept at full resolution, whatever happens to your camera roll.
Most photographs are the first two. The third one is the point.
Every month you've lived, lit where you've kept something.
What you keep becomes a shape.
Everything you add lands in an archive that's yours alone — a calendar of every month you've lived, filling in as you go, with the places you were and the years you've covered.
Open a month and you get that month's photographs in the order they happened. No feed, no algorithm, nobody else's life in the way.
Nothing leaves your phone.
Your originals stay in your camera roll. Heirloom doesn't move them.
We keep a copy only of what you choose to keep. Nothing else is touched.
There's no account and no upload. Your archive lives on your device.
Export everything, whenever you like, as ordinary files you can open anywhere.
