Share your kids' photos with grandparents, close family and friends, and only them. No Meta, no Google, no ads, no AI training. The people who love them most, closer than ever.
3 new photos of Sofia, shared with Grandma, Grandpa & Aunt Ana. Just them.
No technical knowledge needed. The whole thing takes about two minutes.
A memory can be one child, a trip or a theme. Only the people you invite get in, and your photos are encrypted, never used for ads or to train AI.
Add their phone number to a circle. They sign in with the code we text them, and your photos are already there. No email, no password, no forms.
Everyone gets a notification. You see who has access and can change or revoke it any time.
Group the people you invite into circles (grandparents, close family, friends) and set what each circle can do: post, view, comment, download. Revoke anyone's access in a tap. Every change takes effect immediately, and access is tied to their device, not a link anyone can forward.
No accounts. No passwords to forget. No feed full of strangers and ads to get lost in. Just the grandchildren, big and clear, with a button to send love back.
Platforms like Meta and Google already use people's public content to train AI and build advertising profiles. (source) We don't think that's the price of staying close to family, so we built pouchie with no connection to any of it.
You already share photos somewhere. Here's what that somewhere is actually doing with them.

No. You add their phone number to a circle. They download the app, sign in with the 6-digit code we text them, and your photos are already there. No email, no password, no forms. Access is tied to their phone number, not a shareable link.
Both. You need an iPhone on iOS 26 or newer, or an Android phone on Android 11 or newer. This site is only here to explain the app: your photos live in the app itself.
They are. Your photos are encrypted and only shown to the people you shared each memory with. They're never sold, scanned, or used for ads or to train AI. And you can revoke anyone's access at any time, effective immediately.
When someone opens a photo and tries to screenshot or screen-record, pouchie shows a warning instead of the image. Reacting with a heart is always allowed.
pouchie runs on infrastructure with no connection to advertising networks. Your photos are stored privately and are never scanned, analysed, or used to train any AI model, ours or anyone else's.
Private by default. Free for 14 days. Set up in two minutes.
