APPS WE LOVE

Tinybeans Private Family Album

Precious moments stay private on this invite-only social network.

Tinybeans saves all of your journal entries and photos of your child in one place—and ensures they can only be seen by trusted friends and family.

What we love: Creating photo albums around big moments, like birthday parties or vacations. They’re a space where kids can shine, grandparents can brag, and parents can relax, knowing the memories stay just between loved ones.

Quick tip: Have family members who prefer to keep up to date by email? Tinybeans can send a daily or weekly digest of the photos you’ve posted.

Meet the creator: Cofounders Sarah-Jane Kurtini and Stephen O’Young launched Tinybeans in 2012. Today it’s run by a small team of parents, grandparents and caregivers who are passionate about creating a simple and joyful way for families to connect.
