Open Attic Sign in

A private place for one family’s stories, photographs and voices

Everyone brings a piece.

Why keep it

Most of what a family knows was never written down.

Open Attic gives all of it one place. Anyone in the family can add a piece, and everyone else can find it years from now, next to the people it’s about.

Have a look round

Four ways to add a piece

  • Say it out loud, in your own voice.
  • Add the photograph, and who is in it.
  • Write a few lines. That is enough to start.
  • Answer the week’s question.

Only your family

  • Only people invited to your family’s attic can see it. Nothing in it is public.
  • A memory can be for the whole family, or only for the people it’s about.
  • No advertising, no tracking across other sites, and nothing sold.
  • You sign in with a one-time link by email. There are no passwords.
How Open Attic handles privacy

Everyone in their own fabric

Each person gets a fabric when they’re added and keeps it for good.

Start your family’s attic

The first piece can be small. A name, a date, a minute of someone’s voice.
