Now in open alpha
The people who made you who you are, kept close for the ones who come next.
A private vault for photos, video, voices and stories — shared with the family and friends who lived them, and built so you choose who sees what, down to a single detail.
Alpha means we are still building. It does not mean your memories are temporary — everything you add is kept, and downloadable from your Archive, from day one.
Private by design
No public feed, no algorithm, no advertising. You choose who sees each memory — and separately, who can see your birthday, your nickname or where you live. Field by field, circle by circle.
Memory, not just storage
A photo without its story is a snapshot. Pair images and video with voice notes, dates and the people who were there.
Not only family
The friend who has twenty years of your photographs has no standing anywhere else — not with a platform, not with an estate. Aeternum gives them a circle of their own, with the same controls as any other.
Built to be inherited
Designed from the start so your vault can pass to the next generation intact, instead of being locked or deleted. The Inheritance system arrives at our 2027 launch.
How it works
Three steps, and the rest is yours.
- 01
Preserve
Add photos, video, voice notes, letters and recipes — with the context that gives them meaning.
- 02
Share
Invite family and friends into circles. Keep some memories to yourself and open others to the people who belong in them.
- 03
InheritAt launch, 2027
Designate trusted inheritors so your vault continues when you are no longer here to keep it.
