Question 1

What is a private family journal app?

Accepted Answer

Family Journal is an invite-only family memory app for iPhone and iPad. Guided prompts and daily check-ins help your circle capture stories before they disappear — then keep them in a shared archive instead of a group chat scroll.

Question 2

How is a family journal different from texting or social media?

Accepted Answer

Group chats bury moments in noise, and social feeds are built for strangers and algorithms. Family Journal is for check-ins, prompt-led stories, and a shared archive your invited circle keeps — not a thread that moves on or a public feed.

Question 3

Is Family Journal free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Core prompts, check-ins, and the shared archive work on the free tier. Family Journal Pro is optional ($2.99/mo or $29.99/yr) for extras when you want them.

Question 4

Who can see family memories in Family Journal?

Accepted Answer

Only people you invite. It is a private, invite-only circle — not a public social network — so memories stay with the people you choose.

Question 5

Where is the Family Journal privacy policy?

Accepted Answer

The full Family Journal privacy policy is published on this website under Privacy → Family Journal.
