We missed printed photos.
remembr is a small studio building one thing well: a screen-free keepsake that captures the year you actually lived, on paper, with no homework.
The short version
We grew up with shoeboxes of photos in our parents’ closets. Our own photos live in a cloud we’ll never open. That asymmetry bothered us, so we built a way to bring them into the world without asking anyone to do more.
remembr runs quietly on your phone, picks the keepers, lays them out, and ships a real printed book to your door. Monthly, quarterly, yearly, or only when you feel like one. There’s nothing to do, and nothing to maintain.
Our promises
- Most of the work happens on your phone. Scoring runs on-device. We never upload your library in bulk. A small shortlist of likely keepers is sent through our backend to Anthropic for layout and caption fine-tuning; everything else stays put. You agree to that step before your first book, and a book can’t be made without it.
- No engagement traps. No streaks, no nudges, no daily app to open.
- Human support. Real replies from a small team, usually within a day.
- Honest pricing. Every price is all-in with shipping included. Buy a single book, or subscribe and have one arrive on a schedule. Cancel any time.
- Make it well. A real printed book, softcover or hardcover, printed and shipped through Gelato, our print-on-demand partner, with production close to you.
How we print
We don’t run our own press. We work with Gelato, a print-on-demand partner with regional production around the world, so your book is made close to you and the carbon cost of shipping stays low. We open new regions as their production comes online for our formats.
The team
We’re a tiny team building one thing carefully. There’s Liv, who started this because she couldn’t print a single photo for her grandma. Dev, who wrote the on-device scorer. And a rotating cast of friends who help with covers, type-setting, packaging and the inbox.
We’re hiring
Sometimes. Not right now. When we open roles we’ll post them on the contact page.
The web has enough places to scroll. We wanted to make something to hold.
Make one for your own shelf.
