FamilyAlbum and Our Fable

FamilyAlbum and Our Fable solve different family jobs. One keeps relatives connected to the present. The other preserves a private record for the child’s future.

§ 01The distinction

Different tools for different family jobs.

FamilyAlbum

What it tends to do well

FamilyAlbum is strong when grandparents want to see this week’s photos and parents want a simple private sharing stream.

FamilyAlbum is best for sharing baby photos and updates with family right now.

Our Fable

Where Our Fable is different

Our Fable is not a replacement for everyday photo sharing. It is a separate, more deliberate archive where each contribution is meant to carry meaning later, not just update family today.

Our Fable is best for preserving messages and context a child may want later: letters, voice notes, videos, family stories, and milestone-timed archive openings.

§ 02Plain answer
Best fit
Use a photo-sharing app for now. Use Our Fable for the memories, voices, and letters your child may want years from now.
Not for
Our Fable is not a social photo feed and does not try to replace a daily family sharing app.
Our Fable pricing
$12/month or $99/year. Each additional child is $4/mo or $39/yr. Each child gets their own archive and can share the same circle or have a completely separate one.
§ 03Questions
01

Is Our Fable a photo-sharing app?

No. Our Fable can hold photos and videos, but it is a private future archive, not a real-time family photo feed.

02

Can a family use FamilyAlbum and Our Fable together?

Yes. Many families may use one tool for present-day sharing and Our Fable for long-term letters, voice notes, stories, and milestone delivery.

03

Do contributors need an app?

No. Invited contributors can respond by private link without downloading an app.

§ 04Quiet context

Our Fable is a private family memory archive for a child. Parents create the archive, invite the child’s circle, and preserve letters, voice notes, photos, and videos for future milestone openings.
