Our Journal

A life together

A little space for the days worth keeping.

Our Journal is a private family journal. It brings photographs, stories, places and family films into one timeline, with search, monthly browsing and room for little notes.

Just for the family.

Only the four invited Google accounts can enter the journal. This information page contains no family photographs, posts or video links.

Photos and stories

The family’s Mac connector imports Apple Photos with permission, screens images against the family’s strict exclusions and groups cleared photographs into memories. Originals remain in Apple Photos.

Family films

With the channel owner’s permission, Our Journal uses the YouTube API Services to find public and unlisted channel uploads. It reads video details and saves links as drafts. A family member must review the entire video before publishing its player in the private timeline. Videos play from YouTube when a member chooses to play them.

Optional music

Members can attach an Apple Music song to a memory and authorize playback with their own subscription. Music does not play automatically.
