How it works
Three steps, and then it's just family.
Start your family's World
A World is your family's private space. Give it a name, and it belongs to the people you invite and no one else.
Invite the people who matter
Send each person their own invitation. Anyone you invite joins free, whether that's your cousin or your grandfather.
Share, reply, and get on with your day
Post a moment, answer a plan, catch up in a few minutes. The page ends instead of pulling you into more.
What you can do
Everything a family needs to stay close, and nothing it doesn't.
Marked honestly: Built works today in our private test version. Coming is what we're building next.
Moments and photos
BuiltShare what happened this week in words and pictures. Photos are rebuilt when they arrive, which removes the hidden location data phones attach.
A feed that ends
BuiltThe latest moments, newest first, in the order they were shared, and then the page ends. Nothing is ranked and nothing keeps loading.
Comments and reactions
BuiltAnswer the people you love. Reactions show who responded and never turn into a score.
Plans and replies
BuiltBirthday dinners, reunions, the holiday schedule. Everyone answers going, maybe or can't make it, and everyone can see who has replied.
You decide who belongs
BuiltOnly invited people get in. Every invitation works once, and the organizer can see and manage who belongs at any time.
Know when you're caught up
ComingThe World remembers what you've already seen, so it can tell you when there's nothing new since your last visit.
Memories and albums
ComingLook back by month, by person or by album, and see what the family shared on this day in earlier years.
A weekly email for everyone
ComingRelatives who never open an app still get the week's moments in their inbox, and can reply to join in.
Birthdays and family dates
ComingBirthdays, anniversaries and the days that matter, with a gentle reminder before each one.
Family stories
ComingA question each week for someone you choose, like “What was your first job?”. Answers are typed or recorded and kept together.
The family cookbook
ComingGrandma's recipes with the stories behind them, in one place the whole family can cook from.
Grandpa doesn't need to download anything.
Stay Connected Today runs in the web browser he already uses, on a phone, tablet or computer. We design every page for people who don't live on their phones: clear text, buttons that say what they do, and one obvious next step.
Works with Smart Connect
Smart Connect runs the house. Stay Connected Today gathers the family.
Smart Connect keeps the people under one roof organized: the calendar, the lists, the calls, and knowing everyone got home. Stay Connected Today is for everyone else you love, from grandparents to cousins. We're planning ways for families who use both to connect them.
How they fit togetherOur promise
We charge you because we don't sell you.
We never sell your data or show you ads.
We make money one way: an organizer pays for their family's World. That's the whole business, so there's no reason to watch you.
No algorithm decides what you see.
Everything appears in the order it was shared. Nothing is boosted, buried or recommended.
Only the people you invite.
No strangers, no public posts, no discovery. Removing someone takes away their access right away.
Your family's moments aren't training data.
What you share isn't used to train AI and isn't shown to AI systems.
Questions
What families ask us first.
Is this social media?
Not the kind you know. There are no strangers, no public profiles, no follower counts, no ads, and no algorithm choosing what you see. It's a private place for people who already love each other.
Does everyone need to install an app?
No. Stay Connected Today works in any web browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
Who pays?
One organizer holds the subscription for the World. Everyone they invite joins free, and nobody is ever asked to pay to take part.
Can anyone find our family?
No. Worlds are invitation-only and never appear in search results or suggestions. Only members, and people you've invited, can see your World's name, and only members can see who belongs or anything shared in it.
What happens to our photos?
They stay yours. We don't sell them, we don't advertise with them, and we don't feed them to AI systems. You'll be able to download everything you've shared, and delete it.
When can we join?
We're testing privately now. Sign-ups and pricing open once that testing is done.
