Your family's whole story, kept together and shared only with the people in it.
Your photos, videos and messages from the apps you already use, gathered onto one timeline of your life, on your own computer. Share any moment with the people who were there, and they add theirs.
Free on one computer. No account needed to start.
Sound familiar?
The moments that matter most are the hardest to find again.
Your phone breaks, and the video of your son's championship game goes with it.
It happens to families every day, and it's only one way memories get lost.
Grandpa's voice, lost in an old post
The only video of him is on Facebook, from 2014.
"What did she say she wanted?"
The perfect gift idea, buried in thousands of texts.
Everyone was there. Nobody has all the photos.
The reunion, split across a dozen phones.

No feed, no ads. Just you and your family.
A moment
Step inside any moment
Your son's championship game, found again and shared with Grandma.
- Everything in one place: the photos, the place, and who was there.
- The story, in your words: add a line, a detail, who said what.
- Family adds their side: their photos and memories, all in one place.
- Ask about it later: years from now, it finds this night in seconds.
Sharing
What your family sees
-
You send an invite
Pick a moment and the people who were there. Send them an invite however you like: a text, an email, a call.
-
They open it in the free app
Grandma installs OpenMindex on her computer. Seeing and adding to what you share is free, forever.
-
They add their side
Their photos from the bleachers, a note about what was said after. It all lands back in the same moment.
-
Nothing is posted anywhere
It goes straight from your computer to theirs, locked so no one else can read it.
Your assistant
Ask your family's story anything.
Type a question the way you'd ask your partner. It answers from your own photos, messages and moments, and shows you where each answer came from.
"When did we last go to the lake?"
"What did Mom say she wanted for her birthday?"
"Show me every game from this season."
It stays home. The assistant runs on your own computer, so your questions and your story stay there too.
Want more? It can also keep your email, calendar and AI chats, and answer across all of it. See everything it can do
Why it's safe
Your family's story never leaves your hands
It lives at home
On your own computer, not on our servers.
It goes only to family
Shared straight to the people you choose, locked so no one else can read it.
Nothing is lost
Nothing is deleted by accident. One click brings anything back.
In short: we couldn't look at your family's photos even if we wanted to. How we keep it that way
Keep using what you use.
You don't switch anything. OpenMindex sits beside your apps and keeps your story together on your computer, so if an account closes or a phone breaks, the story stays with you.
Your photo apps stay
Google Photos and iCloud keep backing up your pictures. OpenMindex puts them in order with everything around them.
Your social apps stay
Post what you like on Facebook and Instagram. The moments that are only for family stay in the family.
One difference
There's now a copy of your family's story that you own, and no company can close, change or take it away.
Free to start. $10 a month to share with family.

Questions families ask
Do I have to move my photos?add
No. Your photos stay where they are, and nothing is deleted from Google Photos, iCloud or your phone. OpenMindex reads them where they live and builds your timeline beside them.
What do I need?add
A Mac or a Windows computer. The phone app is on its way to the App Store and Google Play. Will it run on mine?
Does my family have to pay?add
No. They install the free app, and seeing and adding to what you share with them is free, forever.
What happens if I stop paying?add
Nothing you've kept is lost. It's on your computer, not ours. You're back on the free plan: one device, and sharing new moments waits until you pick a plan again.
Can you see my photos?add
No. They live on your computer, and what you share travels locked, straight to your family. On the free plan we don't even know who you are.
Is it hard to set up?add
It takes about five minutes to install, then it fills in on its own. See the steps
