yisty

A private family album

Your family’s photos, seen only by family.

One place for every photo and video, shared between the people you choose. No adverts, no public links, no strangers.

Free for 7 days, then £6 a month for the whole family. Cancel any time.

Private. Nothing is ever public. Every photo is checked before it is shown.

Shared. The whole family adds to one album, from any phone or computer.

Yours. Full-quality originals, and a full copy back whenever you ask.

What it does

Everything in one place, and easy to find again

One timeline for everyone

Photos and videos from the whole family, in date order, kept at full quality. Add them from your phone, tablet or computer.

Albums to share

Share an album with grandparents or friends by email. They open it with a one-time code: no account, no app, no password to remember.

Hearts, comments and their photos too

If you allow it, guests can leave a heart or a comment and add their own photos of the day. You approve theirs before anyone else sees them.

Find any photo

Search for “birthday cake” or “dog on the beach”. Browse by the people in the photos, or by where they were taken on a map.

On this day

An optional morning email when there are photos from the same day in past years, and a short summary each month.

Bring what you already have

Move in from Google Photos or iCloud. Yisty reads their export files and keeps the dates and places your photos were taken.

Privacy

Private, and we mean it

Family photos are not content. They are not for adverts, and they are not for anyone you haven’t invited.

  • Only the people you invite. Each family has its own separate space. One family can never see another’s.
  • No public links. Photos are stored privately, and every request is checked before anything is shown.
  • Faces stay on your device. Grouping photos by person happens in your own browser and is never sent to us.
  • Guests see less. Where and how a photo was taken is removed from the copies guests see, and you can end their access at any time.
  • No adverts, no tracking. Nothing is sold, and this page sets no cookies.
  • A second copy of everything. Every photo and video is also kept in a separate private store.

Pricing

No tiers to choose between. Everyone in your family and every guest you share with is included.

Where it works

On every phone, tablet and computer

Yisty runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install. On a phone, add it to your home screen and it opens like any other app.

iPhone and Android apps are on the way

Questions

Who can see our photos?

Family members you have invited, who sign in with their own Google account, and guests you have shared a particular album with. Nobody else.

Do grandparents need an account?

No. A guest opens the link in their email and types the one-time code we send them. They see only what you shared.

Can we get everything back out?

Yes. Any photo or video can be downloaded at full quality, and if you ask us we switch on a full copy of everything, sorted into folders by year.

What happens if we stop paying?

Nothing is deleted straight away. Your album becomes read-only for 90 days, and we email you before anything is removed. Start again at any time in that period and everything is as you left it.
