A private family archive
Everla turns your family's photos, home movies, and documents into a living, private memory you can walk through — by face, by year, by moment. The one place it doesn't scatter across dead hard drives or vanish when a platform shuts down.
The difference
Storage remembers files. Everla remembers people — who's in the photo, whose wedding that was, the sound of the porch in '92. It understands your family and connects it into something you can actually experience together, not just a folder no one opens.
The signature
Every relative is a face-star; every marriage and bloodline is a thread you can trace. Drag to pan, scroll to zoom, tap a face to light only their connections and open their life. It's your family's knowledge graph made visible — the soul of the archive, and nothing else looks like it.
Drag · scroll to zoom · tap a face to walk their lineage
Home-movie moments
No more scrubbing two-hour cassettes. Everla auto-segments your old home movies into titled moments — grouped under the day they belong to — and plays them back with a follow-along transcript. Jump straight to "Jessie's First Crawl."
…hold the camera steady — there she goes. Look at her go, she's crawling! Get grandma, get grandma in here…
Everything in one archive
Tap any relative to re-center the tree on them and follow the lineage, generation by generation — with a breadcrumb of everyone you've walked through.
One tap on a face opens their whole album, family ties, the places they lived, the records that name them — and their voice.
A single swipeable rail of one person's face from newborn through the decades — one stop per year, resolved from dated, confirmed appearances.
Every year that has photos, as a scrollable thread — the year in big serif, its strongest image, and a headline for what happened.
Real public-domain newspaper clippings that name your ancestors — pulled from the Library of Congress and told as in-app stories.
One box searches every face, photo, and moment — even spoken lines. Find "the farm" and land on the exact second someone said it.
Keep scrolling through the best of your family, one screen at a time — home movies autoplay with live captions, questions woven in.
"Older or Newer?", "Same Face?", "Do You Know?" — every swipe quietly dates a photo or names a face, and folds it back into the graph.
A native Apple TV app turns the archive into a living-room experience — the family wall, on the television, where everyone can watch together.
How it works
Photos, MiniDV and VHS tapes, scanned documents, the dying laptop — decades of it, in whatever shape it's in. No tagging homework.
It finds the faces, dates the moments, connects the bloodlines and places — every fact provenance-stamped and permanent. The archive that improves as you add to it.
By person, by year, by moment. Private to your family, shareable across the whole family, and handed down to your kids as an asset — not a hard drive.
